The Chronicle

RE Book of the Week has been awarded to Jorja (J5R) and Lily (J5R).

We are very grateful to Mr McCullough, Foundation Director of Ethos and father of Joe (J6L), for his insightful and inspirational assembly relating to World Day of Prayer for the Sick. 

A simple message well told, will as we all know have a lasting affect on young minds. For this reason, it was pleasing to see Mr McCullough's multi-layered approach that included Lourdes, St Bernadette, Britain's Got Talent and a poorly teddy, in the story of how we should pray for the sick and for those who work very hard to alleviate the sufferings of the sick on this day. We thank Mr McCullough for his time and spiritual guidance. 

On Wednesday 13 February, Father Kevin celebrated Mass. The theme for the Mass, as outlined by Cecilia, Hattie and Freddie, was love. On the day we remembered the love Jesus showed us and the sacrifice he made for us.

We also considered the different kinds of ways we show love and asked God during the Mass to help us, when we make sacrifices for those we love. As we know, love will break down barriers, as the act of showing love to people who we find difficult or who have hurt us in the past, as well as our friends, will ultimately bring all of God's children together.

Our thanks as ever go to Father Kevin for helping us celebrate Mass. 

Monday 25 February - Friday 1 March - One World Week  

This is a special week where the children learn about different faiths and beliefs in more depths. This is an ideal way for pupils to develop an understanding and respect of the different ways people express their faith.

Help Wanted: We would like volunteers from all faiths to come and talk to the children about their faith and beliefs. 

Please contact Mrs Jackson-Mayne on sjacksonmayne@crackleyhall.co.uk or speak to your class teacher if you are happy to come and talk to a class about how you live out your faith.
