Welcome to our Newsletter
Design and Technology week has been a huge success- please see the photos later on in this newsletter. I have been so impressed with the skills displayed, but also the determination, resilience and patience lots of children have shown to create a project to be proud of.
Thank you to those families who sent in donations for the Foodbank today. Next week, we will be supporting World Down Syndrome Day. Look out for sch.life messages throughout the week with further details. The plan is for us to ‘Rock our Socks’, plant sunflower seeds during the school day and to sell ‘Up and Downs’ merchandise out on the playground from 3.10pm. I appreciate that we have been asking for donations fairly frequently recently, but there are several charities that really are close to our heart. We always want to be able to support those that play a part in some of our children’s lives. Thanks in advance for your support.
Happy Birthday to you...

Sending Birthday wishes to Renesmai and Brianna who have celebrated their birthdays this week or will be celebrating their birthday over the weekend.

Story in a Box - COMPETITION
So far, we have had one entry for the Story in a Box competition. Thanks to Betsy in Year 4.
Remember you have until the 31st March to get your entries in, ready for the Reading Ambassadors to judge.
We will be displaying these Story Boxes around school for everyone to enjoy!
We look forward to your creations.

Reading Club
The Reading Ambassadors started the lunchtime Reading Club today and it was a great success.
Children brought their books into the Cosy Cave and enjoyed the peace and quiet whilst they read.
This club will be available every Friday lunchtime 12-12:30, for the children to pop in and read for pleasure.







Crestwood Park Garden!
As part of our drive to be more sustainable, we are going to start a school garden. The children will be getting hands on lessons about growing fruits, vegetables, herbs. As well as learning about where their food comes from, there are huge benefits for children’s health and well-being from being outdoors and supporting nature.
To get us up and running, we would like to ask for donations of any unused garden tools that are still in good condition. We would greatly appreciate any:
- Spades
- Garden forks
- Seed trays
- Watering cans
- Trowels
If you have any of these that you would be able to donate could they please be brought to school for Monday 17th March.
Many thanks,
Mr Powell

What's Going on in our Community
Events that may be of interest to you and your families.

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.
