This term we are focusing on our SAFE SPARK.

We are looking for children who are being safe - this may be within the classroom, on the playground or on the trips that all children will be going on this half term.

Children can even suggest ways of being SAFE and let their teachers know.

Throughout the term, we will be setting challenges for the children to demonstrate how SAFE they can be!

Who will earn their SAFE Sparks badge by the end of the term?!

Next week, I will be announcing our next 'Let's Get Writing' Challenge.

I will explain during assembly on Wednesday.

Look out for further information in next week's newsletter!

📚✨ A SPECIAL MENTION ✨📚

Violet-Rose has very kindly donated a generous amount of reading books to School. This thoughtful gift will help enrich our library and provide many exciting reading opportunites for other pupils across the school. We are incredibly grateful for such kindness and generosity, and we know the books will be enjoyed by many children for years to come.

Thank you for helping to inspire a love of reading in our school community! 🩷

Finally...

This week has certainly shown me that Crestwood Park is much more than a school- it really feels like a family.

The love, gifts and surprises I received on my birthday on Wednesday certainly made me feel so special- THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. 

Please take a look at the newsletter titled "What's Going On In Our Community" for information regarding events in the local area!

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.
