The Chronicle

I would like to start by saying a HUGE thank you to everyone who attended Sport’s Day this week, we really appreciate your support, as do your fabulous children, and it was a brilliant event. Even the brief sprinkling of rain couldn’t dampen anyone’s spirits and we ‘pushed on through’ to complete all our races. The children, as always, were the stars of the show and competed with energy, enthusiasm and a good deal of style in some cases! I would also like to thank Mr Jim, Miss Lottie, the children from Year 6 who demonstrated the races so well for us and helped with running the event, the catering staff for the cookies and juice (the children REALLY appreciated those!) and all the nursery staff – we had a fabulous time! 

On a much less enthusiastic note, I also need to tell everyone about Miss Maxine who will unfortunately be leaving us at the end of this term. We are extremely sad to be saying goodbye, however if anyone wants to contribute towards a collection for Miss Maxine it is being held in the school office. 

Have a wonderful weekend everyone. Please make sure you read this week's newsletter as it's packed with all the information you'll need.   

The lines were painted, the front lawn awash with hats, bags, cakes, plates, fishing nets and more in preparation for nursery’s much awaited Little Crackers Sports Day.  On Tuesday 20 June the crowds gathered early on creating a buzz of excitement and over 40 Little Crackers nursery pupils headed to the tracks ready for one of their biggest events of the summer.

With the jubilant crowd milling around in eager anticipation, Mr Duigan welcomed guests and the races were soon underway. Our four-year-olds started things off in true British fashion with the Great Cake Relay swiftly followed by our two and three-year-olds in the all-important Hat and Bag Relay race!

With just about time to catch their breath, the four-year-olds were back on the tracks for the Hoop Skill Relay Race and our two and three-year-olds positively buoyant on their heels with the Fisherman’s Net Relay race. The morning’s activities were rounded off with a sprint race for both age groups where we saw some true little firecrackers rocketing down the tracks. Woosh!

Our budding racers were ably supported by some of Crackley Hall’s Junior 6 and Princethorpe College Sixth Formers, providing warm words of encouragement (and at times a helping hand down the track!). A great morning was had by all and a special thank you to our Nursery Team and Miss Jones for putting together this year’s event.
