SCIENCE DAY!

During our whole-school “Wonderful Water” Science Day, children from Year 1 to Year 6 became water explorers for the day! Classes got hands-on with bubbling investigations, mini-experiments, and curious challenges that helped them discover how water moves, changes, and shapes the world around us. From testing floating and sinking to watching water transform through evaporation and condensation, pupils had plenty of chances to question, predict, and experiment like real scientists. It was a joyful, splash-filled celebration of curiosity — and a fantastic way to see science come alive!

We have these things to look forward to ...

This week, children in Years 2,3,4,5 and 6, have received their WRITING JOURNAL.  These are for the children to use to explore writing for pleasure.  Each half term, I will set a task for the children to complete in their journals, but for the rest of the time, children can use these journals to write stories, diary entries, poems, reports - whatever they would like to write about.  They can take them home, but they will need to bring them back to school. Please encourage your child to write in these books - I know since having them on Wednesday, a lot of children have already started!!!

Each year we invite children to enter the Rotary Club competitions. 

The theme is HAPPINESS IN NATURE. 

We will be completing a writing competition for this in school time. 

The art competition and photography competition, we ask that you have a go at these at home.  You can then submit the entries in at school and we will send them off to be part of the competition.

All the information is below. 

If you have any further questions, please email Mrs Cadman - acadman@crestwood-p.dudley.sch.uk

Tigers are still in the lead, but not far behind are the Rhinos!!!

On Monday we will have a House challenge - children will work in their house teams to create something special for Christmas.

Our House Captains will be supporting and helping to lead the teams.

Foster Carers Wanted

Dudley Council are looking to recruit foster carers across the Dudley Borough. Foster care plays a vital part in so many children’s and young people’s lives. In Dudley, the need for foster carers is greater than ever. Please see the attached leaflet regarding taking the first steps into becoming a foster carer.

Anyone can have the dreaded... head lice. 

We have had a donation of Full Marks head lice treatments. If you or your child/children are unfortunate enough to get them, please contact spriest@crestwood-p.dudley.sch.uk and I will arrange for you to collect a bottle from the school office or call (01384) 818315

Finally...

Children should have come home with an Advent Calendar tonight- thanks to our HSA for providing these.

Let the countdown to Christmas begin!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend as we enter this season of anticipation.
