6.10.23 – Beech

Hello everyone – happy Friday!

We have had a lovely week in Beech class. The children are really settling into the routines and know what is going on during the school day.

We have learnt the following graphemes and phonemes:

ck- sock

e – elephant

u – umbrella

r – rainbow

Please encourage children to sound out words at home.

The children all have a reading book and a reading diary in their book bags. If it is a “decodable book” the children will be able to read it to you. If it is wordless encourage your child to talk about the pictures in the book. Please note down any time you read with your child in the reading diary – it really does make a difference.

In Maths, we have been looking at bigger, smaller, taller, shorter, heavy, light, full and empty. We have had great fun measuring things and finding out what things in the classroom weigh more. All of the children had great fun telling Mrs Kenny she was shorter than Miss Shadbolt and Mrs Millichamp!!! We all enjoyed the water based activities looking at different containers being full, half full/empty and empty

Gentle reminder – can earrings be taken out before school on a Friday please, this will ensure they don’t get lost. They can’t be taped over and in-line with school policy and the guidance from the PE Association they need to be removed for safety. Can all jumpers and cardigans please have their names written in? We are getting lots of them muddled up – thank you.

Well done to Mikey who is our golden certificate winner. Mikey has really tried his best across the week, with a great attitude to learning. He has also really tried in phonics and English and has been practising “crocodile fingers” for his pencil grip. Well done Mikey! Very proud :)!

Enjoy your weekend.
See you bright and early on Monday.
Miss Shadbolt, Mrs Kenny and Mrs Millichamp.

Acting Head Teacher’s Catch Up: Friday 22nd September 2023

Good afternoon,

here we are at the end of our third week back and time is whizzing by.

I wanted to say a huge thank you to you all: I know it is early days but our new “Drop Off” system went really well this morning. The children came in superbly, joined their friends and classes to wait for the whistle. They were all safely into their classes quickly.

The children were very positive this morning.

Thank you for your support, changes can be hard but with Team Crowmoor working together we can make changes a little easier.

“Always Proud To Be Crowmoor.”

Acting Head: Welcome Back! Friday 8th September 2023

Hello,

welcome back to everyone, it has been super to see all of you and your children again after the Summer break. I hope you all had a good Summer, what a shame that the weather has only just arrived.

You will see by the heading that I am Acting Head for a while longer. As soon as there is any news I will let you know. We continue to work with Shine Academies, we are all committed to improving the children’s learning and achievements.

I have been really pleased to see that the children have returned in their new uniforms: our uniform requirements are on the web but just in case; blue and white dresses, black/grey trousers and white/blue polo shirts (with or without our logo,)grey skirts or pinafores, navy blue sweatshirt or cardigan with or without our logo and black, flat shoes. Our PE uniform is very similar with black/navy shorts, white T shirt and/or black/navy jogging bottoms with trainers. Please let us know if you are finding it difficult to buy uniform, come and talk to us – we can help.

Our jewelry policy is also available on the web: earrings should be studs and removed for PE, no other jewelry but a watch, which is named, can be worn but your child will be responsible for it. The watch should not have the ability to send or receive messages.

I am very proud of our uniform and the children look extremely smart in it.

 

We pride ourselves in promoting a healthy lifestyle and eating healthily is part of our curriculum. We would really appreciate your help, if your child brings a snack to school it should be fruit, raisins, vegetables and/or a healthy bar. All of Beech, Elm and Chestnut classes have access to fruit at break times. Our school policy is for all children to have a water bottle in school with their name on it. They can refill with water throughout the day. Thank you for your support.

Two other reminders are as follows:

You should not drive into the car park unless you have a registered disability – there is a parking space for disabled drivers on site. The car park is extremely busy throughout the day with deliveries and staff coming to school and is not suitable for children to be walking across. Please drop off and collect your child via walking through the main gate.

I am extremely pleased to see more children cycling or using a scooter to get to and from school wearing their helmets. Once you and your child are at the outside school gate cycles and scooters should be pushed and parked in the designated cycle structures. We have a lot of adults and children and some very small children on our play-ground, cycling and scooting is dangerous on a crowded play-ground. I hope you can support us with this and everyone will be much safer.

Goodness, I seem to have had to add rather a lot of reminders but at least we will start as we mean to go on. If you have any questions or concerns, please ask – my door is open and the team at Crowmoor are willing to help. You can contact us/me in the usual way via a visit to the office, telephone or email.

admin@crowmoorschool.co.uk

 

I hope you have a super weekend, “Always Proud to be Crowmoor.”

Mrs P

P.S. Are there any of you with “green” fingers out there? We desperately need some help weeding The Late Queen’s Memorial Garden which is at the front of the school. There honestly are some beautiful roses, lavender and other plants in amongst Jack’s Beanstalk! Please let me know if you can help… Thank you.

Update! Friday 23rd June 2023

Dear Parent/Carers,

SHINE Academies | Villiers Primary

I just wanted to let you know that we are pleased to announce that “Shine Academies” have been named as our Sponsors. Over the coming weeks and months there will be a number of meetings which you will be invited to to find out more about the process of academisation and how it will affect Crowmoor. The one certainty is that there will be changes but “The Crowmoor Family” are ready to embrace these. Indeed, we have already started to implement training for phonics, we have ensured consistency in out approaches to behaviours across the school and we have reviewed our curriculum in our foundation subjects. These are just a few things which we have been busy doing.

On Monday we welcome our new children to their Reception Class: Beech; for a “Stay and Play” session. This is such an exciting time but also one of anxiety for some parents and children. It is an enormous step starting school. The children will stay in their new classroom with their new teacher: Miss Shadbolt. Mrs Kenny will continue to be part of the EYFS team in Beech Class. It was great to have met many of you this week at the first “Induction” session. I wish them all lots of luck as they start their school journey at Crowmoor.

Crowmoor Primary School & Nursery | News and Information for ...

As we move nearer to the end of term and then the new academic year all of our children will have the opportunity to meet their new teachers in their new classrooms on Monday 3rd July for the morning.

Our staff structure will look like this from September:

Reception: Miss Shadbolt

Year 1: Mrs Dowell

Year 2: Miss Jones

Year 3: Mrs Roberts

Year 4: Mrs Brunyard (3 days) Mrs Fairclough (2 days.)

Year 5: Miss Hipkiss

Year 6: Mr Reynolds

The staff are all looking forward to meeting their new classes.

My door is always open if you have any questions. I have met many parents who have been extremely supportive and kind over the last year, to you I say a huge thank you.

We are, as our new signs say, “Proud To Be Crowmoor” always.

Enjoy your weekend,

Mrs P x

Sycamore Class Newsletter 26.5.23

We have had a busy last week to end our first half of the Summer term. The children have been thinking about what they have learnt and enjoyed so far this year, and what they are hoping to get better at.

In English, we have planned and written our advertisements for Shrewsbury Prison. We have used the features to persuade customers to visit, such as: catchy slogans and customer reviews.

Well done to this week’s Golden Certificate Winner, Darcie. Today she wrote a fantastic leaflet to advertise Shrewsbury Prison.

In Maths, we started our week solving problems with money to end our unit and then moved on to look at time. We have looked at; days, months and years, and hours, minutes and seconds. Today, we looked at converting between analogue and digit time.

The children have been working on their times tables ready for the Times Table Check after half term. We have been using the following site: Multiplication Tables Check – 2023 – Timestables.co.uk which they can use to practice at home.

In Science, the children really enjoyed making a moving arm model to show how their muscles in their arm work.

We hope you have a lovely half term.

Mrs Fairclough, Miss Shadbolt and Mrs Davies

Sycamore Class 19.5.23

This week, we have started our unit on money in Maths. We have been; writing money as decimals, converting money between pound and pence, comparing, estimating and calculating with money.

In English, we have been looking at features of adverts. We have looked at persuasive language, using our senses and customer reviews. We have also completed our writing assessments and been given a new target.

The children have enjoyed looking at a non-fiction text on our skeleton and bones in reading. This has linked to our science work. In Science, we’ve looked at the human skeleton and have investigated whether having a longer femur means you can jump further.

Today in Art, the children have also enjoyed using clay to make models of themselves.

Our Golden Certificate winner this week is Jake R. He has made good progress with his reading and spellings. Well done, Jake. Keep it up.

As the weather is getting warmer, please ensure children have sun cream applied before coming into school and bring in sun hats and water bottles. Please can we also remind you to label all cardigans and jumpers so if children misplace them, they can be returned easily. Thank you.

We hope you have a great weekend.

Mrs Fairclough, Miss Shadbolt and Mrs Davies

Sycamore Class Newsletter 12.5.23

We have had a short but busy week this week.

In English, we have started our unit on adverts. We looked at what an advert is and the features of an advert. We then looked at slogans; what they are and why they are used, before trying to write our own about Shrewsbury Prison. The children enjoyed thinking of all the slogans they already know that are used to help sell a place or product.

In Maths, we have finished our unit of work on decimals. This week, we have looked at comparing and ordering decimals and halves and quarters as decimals. Next week, we start our unit on money.

In Science, we have been looking at skeletons of animals. The children enjoyed looking at ‘vertebrates’ and ‘invertebrates’ and matching the animal to its skeleton.

This week, our Golden Certificate Winner is Noah. He is an excellent role model who is always eager to learn and always tries hard. Noah created an excellent Lego model of a prison for his homework, which was very well thought out. He enjoyed sharing his model with the class and the whole school in assembly today. Well done, Noah!

PE will be on Monday and Wednesday for the next two weeks. Please can children come into school in PE kit on these days. Thank you.

Have great weekend.

Sycamore Class Newsletter 5.5.23

This week we were extremely lucky to have the opportunity to visit Shrewsbury Prison as part of our Crime and Punishment topic. The children really enjoyed exploring the different wings, discovering what crimes led to being sent to prison and the punishments that were given to the prisoners. They even found out that the prison was haunted! We completed some fun tasks organised by the prison and enjoyed a scavenger hunt looking at clues and answering questions! They showed great enthusiasm and asked some fantastic questions during the guided tour – very impressed with all of them. Well done, Sycamore! We all cannot wait to carry on exploring Crime and Punishment through the ages!

The children looked great in their crowns and thank you to all of you who came to celebrate this afternoon.

In English, we have planned and written our persuasive speeches. Today we have been looking at reading our work and how we could edit and improve it.

In Maths, we have been making a whole using tenths and hundredths, and partitioning decimals. Next week, we will be finishing our work on decimals.

We hope you have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the bank holiday.

Mrs Fairclough, Miss Shadbolt and Mrs Davies

Thank You!

Good afternoon,

just a quick note to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate the Coronation of King Charles 111 this afternoon. The rain did not dampen our enjoyment. It was lovely to welcome so many of you and I really enjoyed chatting to you all. Crowmoor did it again and a good time was had by all. We were pretty lucky and I know lots of you managed to eat your picnics between the showers! Certainly dancing in the rain has a whole new meaning…

Thank you to The Friends of Crowmoor and all of the Staff who help to make these super events run so smoothly. But it has to be said the children just made the afternoon, all dressed in their red, white and blue outfits. The effort that was put into making the crowns was plain for all to see – well done. The winners will be announced and a prize awarded during next week’s assemblies.

Enjoy the rest of the long weekend and I shall see you all next Tuesday.

Best wishes,

Mrs.P. x

Sycamore Class Newsletter 21.4.23

Welcome back and we hope you had a great Easter break.

In English this week, the children have read a range of different speeches, delivered a speech and looked at features of a speech. Today we have looked at the difference between fact and opinion, and next week we will continue to look at features of a speech ready to write our own at the end of the unit.

In Maths, we have started our work on decimals. We have explored tenths as fractions and decimals, tenths on a place chart and number line, and dividing a 1-digit number by 10.

In RE, we have recapped why Christians celebrate Easter where children enjoyed acting out Holy Week and then looked at Pentecost.

In Science, we have been talking at what animals (including humans) need to survive and stay healthy and sorted foods into different food groups.

Our Golden Certificate winner this week was Ethan. He has come back with a positive attitude to learning and been trying hard. Ethan has also been reading at home. Well done and keep it up.

Daily reading and practising times tables and spellings really does make a huge difference to the children.

Yesterday, the children were given a letter about our trip to the prison. Thank you to all those who have returned them already.

The children will be given homework for this half term on Monday so please can they bring their homework books into school. Thank you.

We hope you all have a nice weekend.

Mrs Fairclough, Miss Shadbolt and Mrs Davies
