Another busy week at Crestwood Park with an amazing Year 6 and Key Stage Two performance of The Greatest Show to end our day today. The children were amazing- we can certainly see some acting talent emerging! Huge thanks to all who made the performances such a hit.

Earlier in the week we welcomed the last group of our our new Reception children and their families- it was lovely to see them in school and we very much look to welcome them formally in September. 

Years 3,4 and 5 enjoyed Commonwealth Games Workshops this week - we hope they enjoyed the sessions. 

Our Parent Voice group met today- thankyou to those parents who met with Mrs Kennedy- don't forget you can join this group whenever you would like- take a look at the Parent Voice page on our website for more details.

Finally, the School Council Tuck Hut has been a huge success- next week we will be selling sweets at the end of the day on Wednesday. 

With temperatures set to rise to record breaking temperatures next week, we would like to draw your attention to the following suggestions and plans for Monday and Tuesday next week.

-Children can wear school uniform or SCHOOL PE kit, or a combination of the two- which ever is cooler for your child.

-All children need a water bottle please. Children will be allowed to keep these on their desks and there will be regular 'hydration stops' to make sure children are drinking regularly. Please ensure bottles are named.

-Children will take part in Yoga or similar 'calm' activities during PE sessions.

-We will reduce the time children spend outside and if temperatures rise as forecasted, they will stay indoors during lunchtime. 

-If and when children do go outside, they need a sun hat and sun-cream.

-There will be additional measures in school, to keep classrooms cool. 

Any questions or concerns- please ask.

We would like to say a very big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to... Haidar-Ali, Oceanna and Charlie who have celebrated their birthday this week or will be celebrating over the weekend.

It has come to our attention that there has been a few cases of headlice across the school.

Treatment: Wash hair and apply a generous amount of conditioner. With a fine toothed comb, carefully comb the hair from the scalp to the end of the hair. Look at the comb after each stroke and wipe clean. If done thoroughly, this will remove all live lice as the hair is so slippery they can't cling on! This is the most effective treatment, but needs repeating on a daily basis until all eggs have vanished. Chemical treatments can be purchased over the counter but it is known that some head-lice become resistant to these and, therefore, no chemical preparation is 100% effective.

We have some combs available to buy in school, so if you need one please pop into the office.

Please remember, there is no shame in having head-lice but it is shameful to do nothing about it!

Key Stage 2 put on an amazing show this week. 

The singing was sensational from Years 3,4 and 5 and the acting and dancing was simple superb from the Year 6 children! 

We were all blown away by their incredible talent.  Well done!

Don't forget you can pass your 'pick-up password' to your trusted adults to be able to collect your children from school should home time arrangements change during the day. If your trusted adult knows the password you do not need to call the school office to confirm collection by another adult.

As long as the adult collecting your child/ren know the password set by you - we will allow them to leave with their trusted adult.

If you have forgotten your password or would like to change it please speak to your class teacher. The password will move up with your child next year.  

No-one wants that awful moment when you're watching a film with your child and something 'inappropriate' is shown on screen that makes you both wish the ground would open up! It's not just the embarrassment that we should think about, but seeing or hearing something that is meant for older viewers can really upset children and play on their minds. They might not always tell you how uncomfortable or worried they feel, so to avoid that happening, check out the website below.

Well done Cooper for running the equivalent of half a marathon during running club!

Just a reminder that it is Achievement Assembly on Wednesday at 2:30pm (Some messages to parents may say 2:40pm but we have made the start time a little earlier). All parents are invited however, parents' carers of children receiving a special award will have received a sch.life message from class teachers. 

WE ARE AT THE TOP of the Leaderboard for Beat the Street Brierley Hill Schools...but only just! So keep tapping those beat boxes and make sure we stay at the top!

Let us know how you are getting on! It would be great to hear how well you are doing and how many points you have so far!

The times tables champions for this week are George and Lily, both in Year 3, who both achieved over 1000 answers correct in the last two weeks.

Amazing work!

Don't forget we are running our Summer Fun week Monday 25th - Friday 29th July!

You are able to book via School Life booking section & payments are live on T2P app.

Alina would like to invite you to a cake sale on Saturday 16th July in Ploverdale Cresent, Kingswinford from 11am-2pm.

The money raised will be donated to Kingswinford Foodbank. 

It would be lovely for our pupils to support Alina in raising some money for her chosen cause.

This is lovely idea Alina - we are very proud of you. 

Check out Sam & Ben's sunflowers that they have grown at home - Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

We would love to see some more photo's of children with their sunflowers - if you would like to send them in,  we can have a showcase of sunflowers for our end of term newsletter on Wednesday.

Please send them to info@crestwood-p.dudley.sch.uk

We are fast approaching the end of term but we still have a few important events left- so please keep checking the online calendar and reading those sch.life messages to keep up to date! 

In the meantime, have a lovely weekend in the sunshine everyone and take care of each other.

We had a few children off with sun-stroke on Monday last week; please keep a close eye on children over the weekend- we want them all in on Monday! We hope you all manage to keep cool and we look forward to seeing you on Monday for the last week of the year!

Take care all.
