Welcome to our Newsletter

We made it!

Last night's Witches and Wonders Disco was a wonderfully spectacular way to end this half term. Wow- the costumes were amazing- well, very gruesome actually! Thanks to the parents of the HSA who helped to organise and supervise the event. Our Professor also led the games superbly!

Today's Achievers Assembly once again highlighted how successful a term it has been for so many children in school. Not only was I able to present the Achievers certificates to some very deserving pupils , but I also had the pleasure of awarding a record amount of SMART SPARKS badges.

Next term we will be awarding POLITE points, and setting some polite challenges, so watch this space for updates! 

Talking of updates, this newsletter contains updated information regarding after school clubs for after the half term. Scroll down to view a calendar that we hope will help you to see what is on offer when! 

Happy Birthday to you...

 

Sending Birthday wishes to Jaylen and Mikel who have celebrated their birthday this week or will be over the weekend.

We would also like to wish Maisie, Nicholas, Esme, Lotte, Harry and Lillie who will be celebrating during Half Term.

Mrs Cadman's English News.

Half Term Challenge.

Half term is upon us and now is a great chance to snuggle up with a book to read with your child.  

The challenge I am setting for the half term is to get reading with an autumnal theme - Take a photograph of your child reading a book.

If you go out for a walk amongst the trees, you could take a book or if your child dresses up for Halloween - get them to read a book whilst in their costume.

Then send the photos to acadman@crestwood-p.dudley.sch.uk

I will display these photos on our English board in school.

Writing Journals

This week, children from Year 2 to Year 6 have received a writing journal.  I have set a writing task for the children to complete - which many of them were eager to start when they got their journals.  

After my task, children can use their journals to write about anything.  They can add illustrations - use different coloured pens.  But most of all, I want them to enjoy writing and have fun with it!  Please encourage your child to write and share their writing with you.

I'm looking forward to reading some of their pieces after half term!

Pastoral update

We hope you are all well and looking forward to the half term break. If you are unable to get outdoors there is still time to enter the Kingswinford in Bloom competition.
 
Your mission is to design a logo which reflects the spirit of Kingswinford and may include items such as nature, flowers, our community and what is important to us about Kingswinford.
 
The winning design will become the official logo of Kingswinford in Bloom and will appear on all promotional materials, signage and social media platforms for Kingswinford.
 
The design can be handed in as a drawing or sent digitally to spriest@crestwood-p.dudley.sch.uk
 
The winner will receive a certificate and will of course have their design made into the logo for Kingswinford leaving their mark on the village for all to see.
 
The closing date is 28th November. Wishing you all the very best of luck.  
 
Have a lovely half term, look after each other and stay safe, lots of love The Pastoral Team xx

Poppy Appeal

When we return after half term, we will be selling poppies, slap bands, bracelets and other various items in aid of the Royal British Legion to support Remembrance Sunday on 10th November. Items are £1.00 - £2.00.

We will be selling them from the hut in the KS1 playground before and after school. We do have limited supplies so when they have gone, they have gone!

Don't forget that we will also be holding a special Remembrance Sunday assembly on Friday 8th November.

 

Tigers end this half term as winners- who will be the overall winner and receive the House Team prize at the end of next term?
