Transformation of Environments and Social Responsibility
During the first half of Autumn Term, our topic in literacy has been ‘transformation of environments and social responsibility’. Each class group have been studying a text;
Class 1 – The Something (Rebecca Cobb)
Class 2 – The Greenling (Levi Pinfold)
Class 3 – The Promise (Nicola Davies)
Class 4 – (Varmints (Helen Ward)
To enhance our learning the whole school were involved in a literacy project led by a specialist education company, Literacy Counts. This included a series of professional workshops for all classes, including dramatisation - to encourage evocative writing; art -developed from gathering words, phrases and poem extracts; music – inspired by the children, using extracts of figurative language, including phrases and ideas put together in the form of a school anthem.
We invited parents, family, friends and Governors to watch a performance of our new school anthem entitled, We Achieve, We Believe. Matt Baker, the musician involved with the writing of the anthem, was here to accompany the children. There was an opportunity afterwards to view the gallery of artwork and see the children’s written work in their classes.

A Place of Safety by Gripping Yarns
Date: 1st Feb 2016 @ 3:28pm
On Monday 1st February Classes 2, 3 and 4 received a visit from Gripping Yarns, an association of storytelling performers who are all actors with an expertise in theatre for young people. They delivered a story called 'Place of Safety' to support our work on internet safety and link to Safer Internet Day on 9th February.
The internet, mobile communications and e-mail offer young people unprecedented and exciting opportunities to explore and interact from the safety of their own school, home or bedroom. 'A Place of Safety' is concerned with how children interact in the electronic communication environment, and with how they can do so with greater security.
Place of Safety tells the story of Jordan, who is struggling to build new friendships after moving school following a necessary family separation. For Jordan, the internet, e-mail, chat and messaging offer an ideal way to keep in touch with old friends, and make new friends with interests similar to his own. He is befriended by an apparently more experienced chat room user, with whom he develops a friendship, and with whom he shares personal information and photographs. His trust in his new friend diminishes as he is pressured to allow greater degrees of contact and more personal information. Having already taken risks with his online friendship, he is too scared to tell anyone what has happened in case he gets into trouble and he is considering agreeing to his new friend’s requests when a real-life friend from school uses online media to contact him, and encourage him get help from their teacher.
Place of Safety was written for Cheshire Education Safeguarding in Education to promote safe use of the Internet and electronic communications media, encouraging children adopt an attitude of healthy scepticism towards what people tell them online, whilst stressing that using the Internet can and should be great fun.

We had lots of fun fundraising for Comic Relief. The say started with a coffee morning organised by The Friends of Crowton School. Parents, friends and family attended and donated lots of scrumptious cakes. The School Council arranged a Face Painting Stall and a Red Nose Sweepstake competition. The children all wore wacky clothes to school and pulled funny faces for a donation to the charity. By themed of the day we had raised a fabulous £247 for Comic a Relief. Well done everyone!

Today we had a very special vistor in school!
News had reached Father Christmas at the North Pole of just how fantastically well behaved, hard working and well mannered the girls and boys at Crowton Primary School have been this year and so he took time out of his busy schedule to pay them all a visit. He had a little Christmas gift for all the children too!
Thank You Father Christmas!
