Headmaster's Welcome
Dear Parents
It was so lovely to welcome back children in Nursery, Reception, Junior 1 and Junior 6 this week. I think the children have enjoyed the familiarity of school even though they have had to adapt to the ‘bubbles’ which help to achieve appropriate levels of social distancing. Online lessons have been maintained for all year groups and continue to work well. We will continue to look at what we can do to enhance this. I have our children who are still at home very much in my thoughts and know that it may be frustrating for some not being able to come back onto the school site. I also know of some who are very happy to continue working from home!
I would like to thank parents for adhering to the procedures we have put in place which helps to protect staff and children. Please remember not to arrive any earlier than your allocated arrival time for your child; if you happen to be a little early, please remain in your cars. Any illness must be communicated at the earliest possibility to the class teacher in the first instance as this will allow us to act early if necessary.
Junior 5 parents were invited to the Princethorpe Virtual Open Evening this week and this was followed by my meeting yesterday afternoon to discuss secondary school options. I hope that these events were useful but if you feel that you would like to discuss any issues further, please let me know.
I hope you all managed to view this morning’s assembly. Today we celebrated our Stars of the Week including: Sloane, Thea, William, Josh, Arthur, Beatrice, Arisha, Lexi, Elsie R, Elsie G, Noah, Freddie, Louie and Lucas.
There were several Da Vinci’s awarded this week and there are lots more to be celebrated next week too. The children continue to work incredibly hard and staff are so impressed by the high standards of work submitted. Da Vinci’s were awarded this week to Bella, Roshan, Neve and Matilda in Junior 6. Rory in Junior 2 has earned a Headteacher’s award for his exceptional maths work and the RE book of the week was awarded to Arthur in Junior 2 – well done to everyone!
House points were Jupiter, 478; Mars 351; Saturn, 326; and Venus 419. Congratulations to everyone in Jupiter!
Theo, Elsie, Issey, Merryn, Alexander, Edward (Ted), Millie, Willow, Oliva and Musa are all celebrating birthdays this week and I hope you enjoy the Junior 1 class rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’ later in the Chronicle.
I am planning to open Holiday Club this summer (for all but one or two weeks) from the end of the term on 3 July but this is subject to Government guidelines and parent requests. If you would like to use holiday club this summer, would you please email lorrainedyer@crackleyhall.co.uk I can then look at what provision will be necessary.
I have sent a leaflet to Junior 6 parents which details information on managing screen time, and other digital world matters, for their children. If anyone else feels that it would be beneficial to receive this document, please let Mrs Dyer know and it will be forwarded to you.
Although the weather is not as warm as in recent days, I hope that you have a pleasant weekend with your family.
God bless,
Rob Duigan
