Crestwood Park Primary School

Well done to all our children for another fantastic week. We know that we are probably a little biased, but we really do feel so proud of our Crestwood Park family. The Rainbow Craft entries today were absolutely amazing and we were all blown away with the amount of time, effort and thought that had gone into each and every creation. Thankyou families for supporting your children with this- it has been wonderful to see and your efforts have really given our school a boost. 

We have decorated the hall with the entries, but we are sure that many of you will want children to bring their pieces of work back to enjoy at home. If this is the case, just let a member of staff know and we will arrange for its return!

Thankyou also for the generous donations in aid of the Mental Health Foundation this morning. We had only ordered one box of badges as we were worried that we might not be able to 'sell' them. How wrong we were! We should have remembered that when we ask our Crestwood Park family for support, you will always be incredibly generous. Thank you to every singe one of you that donated this morning. 

Get your bikes and helmets at the ready!

Bikeability will be going ahead for Year 6 next week. Further details to follow.

#MentalHealthAwareness day - Friday 9th October

It has been wonderful to see all of the children taking part in #MentalHealthAwareness day and coming into school dressed in yellow.

Thank you to all who purchased a charity pin this morning and all those who made kind donations in aid of this cause.

We have raised an amazing £78.40 in the space of just a few minutes! 

Teddy Bear Rap

I'm a big boy now

I can go to school

I can cross the road

'Cos I know the rile.

I can stay for lunch

Have packed sandwiches

I can squirt my milk

Make an awful mess.

I can do my sums

Add up three and three

I can write my name

And my ABC.

I'm a big boy now

Like I've just said

But I still take my teddy

When I go to bed.

The situation we are all living in at the moment seems to be going through yet another period of change. A huge thanks to you all for supporting the systems we have in place to keep our school family safe AND for supporting us in keeping the school running as normally as possible for our children. 

We really do appreciate the thoughtful messages we receive- thankyou for these. Remember we are always looking for ways to improve, so if you do have any thoughts, questions or queries we are always very willing to listen (and we're never afraid of pinching a good idea from somewhere else!).

We hope you all have a good weekend- please do keep yourselves safe, look after each other and we look forward to seeing you all on Monday.
