Crestwood Park Primary School

The children enjoyed their Wellbeing Day today- a perfect end to the week ... and the sun came out for us too! There have been plenty of activities going on in and around school: a whole school feather collage, yoga, parachute games, a mindful walk on the track, a disco on the KS2 playground at lunchtime and lots more. We hope the children have learnt lots about how to keep their minds healthy and how to boost their emotional wellbeing too. 

The day was a perfect end to the week, particularly for our year Six class who have done tremendously well with their SATs. We are very proud of their attitudes and approach to the tests and we are sure that all their hard work building up to this week, will have paid off. 

Next week is also a busy one with Year Two SATS beginning, our School Council visiting the Mayoress of Dudley on Wednesday and our Jubilee Celebration on Friday (further details below). 

Thankyou to all our parents who are working hard to ensure our children continue to look smart- our uniform is an important part of our school identity and we appreciate your support to uphold this. 

Congratulations to the pupils below who have achieved 100% attendance this week!

We have got so many things coming up this term that we wanted to remind you to keep looking at the school calendar. It has all the key information on and saves you going back through different newsletters. As always though, please do not hesitate to ask if you are unsure of anything.

We would like to say a very big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to... Max & Harvey who have celebrated their birthday this week. 

We have been notified by public health that there have been increased cases of children with Hepatitis in the UK.

Please follow the link below for more information

Don't forget that Mr Barnett holds a fitness session on Friday mornings, just after children are dropped off. We have a really good range of equipment for parents and family friends to use and is a lovely way to have a catch-up with other parents, whilst burning a few calories at the same time! No need to book, just turn up! 

We have lots of children who regularly attend our after school Running Club on a Thursday. Logan attends every week and is our first pupil to run the equivalent of a half marathon!  This is a fantastic sporting achievement!

As you may remember, in Key Stage Two we are moving over to a different system for allocating reading books to children. This is called Accelerated Reader and is linked to the MyON resources that children children can access from home. The Accelerated Reader system involves children being 'assessed' with an online test and this helps to establish an accurate reading level. All our books in Key Stage Two are now banded in different colours and depending on your child's reading 'level' they will be able to choose books from the matching colour band.

As not all children have been assessed and will not have had their books allocated, most children in KS2 will not have a reading book to bring home, for the next few days. Please don't worry about this- they can continue to read anything at home or from the library if you are able to visit. 

Children will be re-issued books as soon as possible- any questions, please ask. 

Next week cookery club will be on a Wednesday instead of Tuesday after school due to staff training.

We hope that you can all still make it!

Mrs Akthar will be uploading the recipes soon so you can try them at home - keep a look out for them!

There is a Family Charity fun day on 3 July 2022 at 3pm at Dudley Kingswinford Rugby Club.  

The day is in memory of Harley who sadly passed away in February this year and Amelia’s ongoing fight as she’s awaiting a heart transplant.  

Their stories are below and there is a Facebook page dedicated to the event-   https://www.facebook.com/groups/300762652129767/?ref=share.

Reading about the Fun Day in honour of Harley and Amelia (above) acts a reminder to us all that we need to appreciate how precious our families are and how grateful we should be for each day.

Have a good weekend folks, look after each other perhaps give a few more hugs to those you love.
