Although we've been in and out of school a bit this week, it's been a busy and fun-packed few days. Our well-being day today was a real hit and children seemed to thoroughly enjoy the fitness cicuit and demonstration from Sam... we all left the hall feeling really inspired...and really out of breath!
Thank you to families who shared their 'screen free' activities with us- it looks like lots of you kept yourself busy with various indoor and outdoor fun!
This week we welcomed a new teaching assistant to the Crestwood Park family- Miss Aime Williams has joined the Reception teaching team; we are sure you will all make her feel welcome and that she will soon feel part of the family.
Finally, can we please ask that you discourage children from bringing toys in to school. We've had a number of incidents now where toys and teddies have been broken or lost. They can also cause distractions and arguments between children. If your son or daughter needs a certain object in school, please discuss it with the teacher or with a member of the pastoral team and we can work out the best thing to do. Thankyou for your support with this.
Well-Being Day
Friday Fitness with Sam Oldham - GB Gymnast
The children and staff have had a fantastic 'Healthy Well Being Day' led by the famous GB athlete Sam Oldham. He shared with us details of his training and life as a GB gymnast! The link below explains a little more about the event he organised for us!

Every child has taken part in a fun fitness circuit alongside Sam today. You can still sponser them if you wish. This can be done on-line or alternatively complete the sponsorship form. Proceeds will help us to buy sports equipment for our school so any sponsorship would be hugely appreciated!
What a Berry Bike Ride!
As well as the fun fitness circuits, the children were all given a chance to ride the cycle smoothie bike... ask them what they thought of the delicious smoothie drink they helped to make!
Royal Mail stamp competition
Children will be taking part in this competition during lessons next week. We look forward to sharing some of the designs in newsletters, before half term.
Denim for Dementia - Friday 21st May
Looking after our WELL-BEING
This week we thought we would share some ideas for you to use as a family.
Children benefit so much from routines. It gives them a sense of security and control within their environment. When children feel that life is organised and predictable they feel safe and looked after especially through stressful times.
Have a lovely week and look after each other xx
The Pastoral Team.
You can contact us via the school office and ask to speak with Mrs Priest or Mrs Redfern.

Message from our local Police.... Hi folks, please be aware our high streets are now up and running with all our lovely shops but there are also sellers on the streets who will try and sell you goods which look genuine items i.e. boxed named brands which might look the part but you'll be very disappointed when you open the box or use it and it breaks within a short time. These goods are not the genuine products and although they look the same they carry health risks when using them and you wont have any guarantee or be able to trace the seller when things go wrong. If you are approached by such persons selling these fake goods please report it; it costs companies and individuals money when such products flood the market. |

Children's Screen Free Activities
Kind Hearted Donation
How amazing is our Lillie in Year 2! She recently made the decision to donate a length of her hair to the Little Princess Trust who specialise in making wigs for children.
The Little Princess Trust says...."Sharing your hair with children and young people experiencing the devastating effects of hair loss is an incredible thing to do and really does make a difference to the lives of our young wig recipients".
And finally,
We have had the first draft of our virtual tour. The school (and the children of course!) look amazing! We just need to check a few things before sharing the film with you in next week's newsletter.
We hope the weather is a bit kinder over the weekend. Please look after yourselves and stay safe.
See you on Monday!
