Headmaster's Welcome
Dear Parents
We were very fortunate this week to find a day of dry, almost sunny, weather on which to hold the Key Stage 1 Inter-house Sports Day. It was a joy to watch the children participate after not being able to hold many team events during this last year. There are some super photographs of the morning taken by Mrs Stephenson which you will be able to see later in this edition of The Chronicle and I would also like to thank Mrs Vaughan for the superb organisation of the events schedule.
Unfortunately, it was necessary to postpone today’s Key Stage 2 Inter-house Sports Day due to the poor weather and underfoot condition of the sports field but it will take place next Friday, 28 May when hopefully the weather will be kinder to us.
There have been more inter-school sports fixtures this week when our U10 and U11 netball teams travelled to Crescent and the U8, U9, U10 and U11 football teams played Crescent here, at Crackley Hall. Players reported on the matches in today’s assembly which I hope you will be able to enjoy at some point during the weekend.
This week’s Stars of the Week were: Corin, Xanthe, Francesca, Angelica, Jude, Fraser, Ted, Kate, Esme, Mya, Holly, Millie and Harry. Bronze merit awards were ‘presented’ to Mahnoor, Elsie and Sam with one Silver award being received by Matilda.
I was delighted to see a wonderful collection of Junior Da Vinci’s awarded this week including Ashleigh in Reception and Esme, Matilda, Theo, Lucas, Jay, Jia, Georgie, Kate, Elena and Penny in Junior 4. Their work in drama, science, English and computing has been outstanding and they should be very proud of their certificates and badges.
As in previous weeks, we have been able to enjoy musical performances from students and this week Sienna in Junior 3 entertained us with two pieces played on the piano with her class as an audience. Well done, Sienna!
Congratulations to Sebastian in Junior 4 on his outstanding achievements on the tennis court, winning all his matches when representing Warwickshire and we wish him the very best for the national tournament.
The PTA are currently busy planning events for the rest of this term and later in this edition there is news on a virtual balloon race. Please try and support our PTA as all the funds are benefit school and your children. If you would like to become involved, you can email PTA@crackleyhall.co.uk Thank you very much to Mrs Lamb and her wonderful committee for all that they do for the school, along with their dedication and enthusiasm.
Next week is the last week before half term and we are planning to run holiday club during half term. At present, numbers are not sufficient to operate the club each day and therefore I would ask, if you would like to book your child in for any of Tuesday to Thursday of half term, please contact the school office or make a booking via My School Portal as soon as possible so that I can determine whether it is viable to continue with this provision.
I am not sure what the weather will bring this weekend but I hope that you have a restful couple of days with your family and our Junior 5 and 6 children enjoy their taster day at Princethorpe tomorrow.
God bless,
Mr Duigan
