The Chronicle

Our Stars of the Week this week are:

Junior 6 excitedly, and a little nervously, gathered together in the school hall this morning to hear Headmaster, Mr Duigan, reveal the 2020-2021 Student Roles Of Office.

In a special assembly, recorded for parents, who due to social distancing restrictions were unfortunately unable to attend, the new Captains and Stewards were presented with their badges of office.

Mr Duigan spoke about the importance of the responsibilities and encouraged pupils to rise to the challenge of their new roles.

Crackley Hall School looks forward to working with Junior 6 and has no doubt they will be excellent leaders and role models for the younger pupils at the school.

On Wednesday Junior 2 took part in an informative virtual session with the Education Team at Twycross Zoo.

The class have been studying habitats so to develop their knowledge and understanding, they took a quick trip around the world. They investigated the mountains, the grasslands, the oceans, the deserts, the rainforests and even the arctic. They considered the climate in each habitat and the adaptions that the animals who live there have made to survive successfully.

They had plenty of questions and found out many fascinating facts. Did you know that Orcas talk a different language in different parts of the ocean, or that unlike in a cartoon, a tortoise or turtle can’t jump out of its shell?

They finished their lesson finding out about the importance of recycling and the impact that can have on the rainforest.

Huge thanks to Twycross Zoo for facilitating such a fantastic virtual session for the children. They enjoyed it immensely. Well done Junior 2!

It has been a fantastic first few weeks at Crackley Hall School for our brand new Reception class.

They have been making friends, playing outside, sitting down for lunch together, hanging up their blazers on the right peg and of course – enjoying plenty of fabulous new lessons. Already the bubbly, bright youngsters are becoming familiar with their daily routine and whilst it might be tiring at first, it is so much fun.

Under the ever-present care of Mrs Convey and Mrs Green, the girls and boys have settled in and have smiles on their faces. What an exciting adventure they have ahead of them over the next few years.

We popped into the classroom today to take a quick photo - and don’t they all look adorable in their new uniform, and how well they all behaved as we mustered the class. They are a perfect addition to our wonderful school community.
