Crestwood Park Primary School

It has been quite a wet end to the week but that certainly did not dampen our spirits in school today! We dressed brightly to support ‘Go Bright for Muscular Dystrophy’ and every class completed an alternative to the Duchene Dash in the hall. All in all, its been a very bright and busy Friday!

Something else that has brightened our week, has been the hatching of baby ducklings in the year 2 classroom. Mr T and the children have done an amazing job of nurturing these new and very cute arrivals- our banner photo on today’s newsletter shows you just how adorable they are!

We would like to say a very big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to... Darius, Mason and Daisy who have celebrated their birthday this week or will be celebrating over the weekend!

This year we will be adding our proceeds to a fundraising efforts by Dave Round. Dave is a close family friend of the Stanfield's and has been raising money for Duchenne UK by taking part in Brighton Marathon in April. With our donation he has raised £784.75 for Duchenne UK!

Children will have their photographs taken next Tuesday 5^th March in school. The photo will be used to create a whole school photograph to mark our 50^th birthday. Details of how parents can purchase the photo will be sent out soon.

So please make sure that children are in full uniform and they are dressed smartly. 

Year 3 have been engrossed in the story "The Bear and the piano." This captivating tale follows the journey of a bear who transitions from the forest to the city, captivating huge audiences with his piano skills. 

Inspired by this story , Benjamin and Mason have crafted a postcard, pretending to be the character of the bear and have  written to their families.  This creative task has allowed year 3 to explore their imaginations and enhance their writing skills. 

It is indeed a joy to see their enthusiasm and talent shine through their work.

From next week we will be trialling 'Cashless' Tuck at break-time, in hope to go completely cashless from Monday 8th April when we return after Easter.

Tuck items available are x1 piece of toast, 2 pieces of toast and Milkshakes. Items are 25p each.

To purchase tuck items you will use your Teachers2Parents app and select Clubs from the menu. Here you will see the options to select what items on which days you would like to purchase. You then add them to your basket and check out.

If you have any problems with purchasing tuck, please give the school office a call or pop in to see us and we will do our best to help.

Please note:
