Crestwood Park Primary School

The spirit of Christmas has well and truly arrived at Crestwood Park this week!

The week began with children working in House teams for this year’s Festive Fun challenge. Crafts were made that were then sold at last night’s Christmas Market. Keep scrolling to see the crafts that were produced, and which House team stall made the most money!

Our Christmas Market certainly proved a success last night. Thanks to everyone who supported this event. It was wonderful to see the children leaving with smiles on their faces carrying an armful of crafts and a gift from Santa. The total raised is revealed below and as always will go towards resources and subsidising trips for our children.

Rehearsals have been going well for our Key Stage 1 Production. ‘A Recipe for a Perfect Christmas’ will be performed by the children on two days next week. Please see the Christmas Events poster below for dates and timings and visit the Teachers2Parents app to make your bookings.

🌟🎄 FESTIVE FUN! 🎅✨

Our Festive Fun House Challenge was filled with lots of excitement and creativity as the children joined together in their house teams to make various different festive crafts and decorations. The classrooms were full of concentration, laughter and smiles. It was a joyful afternoon that not only sparked creativity but also helped build a warm sense of community as we begin the festive season! 🎄🎅

We have these things to look forward to...
