Crestwood Park Primary School

This week ended with a heart-warming Harvest Assembly and our annual Macmillan Coffee Morning. The children performed their Harvest songs brilliantly. This was then followed with the opportunity for families to buy our ‘Bake Off’ cake entries- see below for who our star bakers were this year. Thank you so much to parents who were patient when queuing for cakes and hot drinks. Your patience paid off and we once again raised a remarkable amount for Macmillan Cancer- keep reading for the total raised!

Sending Birthday wishes to Hallie, Charlie, Jayden and Rosie O who have celebrated their birthday this week or will be over the weekend.

Wednesday 2nd October is Parents Evening- 4.00-7.30pm. 

5 min appointment slots to meet the teacher are available on the sch.life app to book. Parents will also be able to view Maths, English and Curriculum Study Books, along with Home School Agreements . 

Free uniform will be available in the hall.

A Book Fair will also be open- see the advert within this newsletter for more details.

Thursday 3rd October is School Photograph Day! 

Please note that this year we will only be doing in-school photographs of the children who attend Crestwood Park. These will include the class, individual and school sibling photos and will be taken during the school day. So no need to arrive any earlier than the usual times of 8:40 - 8:50am via normal route.

It was wonderful to see such a fantastic selection of cakes at our annual bake off!  Thank you to everyone who brought in cakes - we had brownies, fairy cakes, cheesecake and even a Thanos gauntlet.  

Thank you to all those who stayed for our Macmillan coffee morning after the Harvest assembly - to buy these cakes.  See below for the grand total of what we made for Macmillan.

Mandy and Pat in the kitchen had a difficult job of deciding the winners this year!

Harvest Celebration

Thank you for attending our Harvest Celebration this morning.  The children did a fantastic job of reminding us about Harvest and being grateful for the foods we have access to.  Thank you to the Year 6 children who led the celebration.

Thank you to all those who attended our Coffee Morning today -

we have raised just under £500 for Macmillan Cancer Support. 

We are so grateful for the support of our families, without you we couldn't achieve such a fantastic amount.

Good News - The Book Fair is back in town!

During our Parent's Evening, the book fair will be taking place in the hall.

Each class will have a chance to look through the books available during school time to see if there are any books that take their fancy!

We really appreciate you spending money on the book fair as school get a percentage of the money back to be spent on books.

The Year 6 Reading Ambassadors will help spend the rewards by choosing books suitable for our libraries in school.

This year, we will have a card machine, but we will also accept cash.

Thank you in advance for supporting the book fair.

• It promotes closer friendships.
• Builds an emotional support system.
• Give you a sense of belonging.
• Increases confidence.

Finally...

Baking, singing, supporting and donating, have all been on show this week. As I sign off, I would like to acknowledge and thank you all for being so generous- it means a lot. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend xxx
