Crestwood Park Primary School

It has been Science Day in school today so the children have had great fun at being super scientists! Key Stage 2 also enjoyed learning some amazing facts on their science scavenger hunt- perhaps ask your child about something they found out!

This week has also played host to our Christmas Movie Nights. They were both very successful and huge thanks go to our HSA volunteers- parents who organised the event and gave up their time to supervise the children throughout. This year's advent calendars were also donated by our HSA. 

Next week the HSA have organised an extra special event. Our Christmas market takes place on Friday from 4.30pm onwards. Please see information below as to what will be on offer.  All of the proceeds will go towards much needed resources and experiences for the children. So far our HSA have helped us purchase items such as new ipads, so we are really grateful to them. Therefore, It would be great if lots of our families could come along to support next Friday's event. 

We would like to say a very big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to...Elliot and Annalise who have celebrated his birthday this week or will be celebrating over the weekend.

We will be supporting Save The Children and Mary Stevens Hospice on this day so we do ask that in return for children wearing their Christmas jumpers they bring a donation for charity.

Children will be in their own clothes on this day but please make sure they wear suitable footwear for the to be able to take part in our Reindeer Run!

There will be a £2.00 entry fee for adults and U16's are free! No unaccompanied guests under the age of 18. Last entry at 6:30pm!

This will be used to fund the schools hopes in purchasing more iPads! 

We have Indoor and Outside stalls, Hot drinks, Mince pies, Hamper's to win, Build-A-Burger, Beer Tent, Hot Waffles and Face Painting and much much more!

Let's not forget...SANTA is coming to visit.

Come along to our very festive Christmas Grotto to meet Santa and his Elves and receive a gift for £4 per child - You do not need to book, just turn up and pay on the day! 

As I mentioned in my welcome message, we have already received x3 new iPads which have been purchased for the school from the proceeds of the Summer Fayre and other HSA fundraising efforts.

Thanks again to all of the HSA team members for organising these events! We know how hard it is to plan and organise them and we really do appreciate all of the hard work, time and effort that is put into them.

...and a big thank you to our parents and families who continue to support the school by taking part and attending these events. They could not be as successful as they are without you!

In history this week, Year 4 have been discovering the motives behind the Norsemen's invasion of Britain.

Amber has worked very hard on this and has shown her understanding in her great work.

Well Done Amber.

When Millie met Princess Anne!

In recognition  for her bravery and quick response to a family medical emergency, Millie was nominated to receive a special award by St John's Ambulance. Last week she received the award from royalty! A proud moment and we are very proud to have such an amazing young girl as part of the Crestwood Park Family. 

Our school nurse Gina Appleby will be in school on Wednesday 6th December for a parents drop-in session. You do not need to book, and can just turn up during 1-3pm.

As I wish you a happy weekend, in a day where our children have immersed themselves in all things science, my signing off quote to you all comes from a famous scientist who said...

"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow."

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is the responsibility of everyone in our school and at all times we consider what is in our children's best interests. We work to ensure our children are safe and cared for and by doing this we are protecting their health and development and preventing them from harm.  If we are worried, we will raise concerns, share information and take prompt action with the aim of ensuring families receive the right help at the right time.
