School Assembly Marks World Mental Health Day

Mrs Burley led the Monday School Assembly to celebrate World Mental Health Day which raises the awareness of looking after ourselves, how happy we are and how we feel.

We all have mental health, just like we have physical health. Mental health is a person's condition with regard to emotional and social wellbeing. This can affect how we think, feel and act. The pupils shared ideas of how it is important to take care of our mental health. This could be by nurturing what's good for us and limiting things that have a negative impact on our mental health. Pupils from the Student Council in Year 6 read and acted out the story of Humpty Dumpty from a different perspective about accidents happening and how these accidents can have a positive effect. Humpty Dumpty had a fear of falling which resulted in him being remembered as an egg who feared heights, but persevering in trying to overcome this fear resulted in him learning to fly. The moral was that success can happen slowly and to have the courage to keep on trying without giving up. Mrs Burley shared a mindfulness technique called 'Blossom Breathing' with the school to help improve calmness by focussing on breathing and each form were given a wooden heart to remind them to 'breath' when feeling stressed. Mrs Burley ended the Assembly with the whole school sharing in a spirited dance routine.

Learning In RE

Reception RE

In our Reception RE lesson we talked about the wonderful things we can all do. We had lots of fabulous answers like playing, smiling, running and listening. We then explored with the children their own individual gifts and how they are used, always remembering that our special gifts are given by God. We created our group prayers to thank God for these gifts and also to thank God for the gifts which God has given to other people that are different from ours and how to respect and show care to people who are different from us. We hope you like our photos!

Rosary Assembly

On Thursday, it was lovely to once again invite Father Kevin into school to lead an assembly on the theme of the Rosary. He explained to the pupils the significance of the months of October and May, where we are encouraged to think about Our Lady.

Pupils used rosary beads or their fingers to say a decade of the rosary and were asked to dedicate their prayers to the whole school community.

Christmas Decorations

It’s almost half-term and it is also Christmas Tree decoration time!

The theme this year is ‘Love and Compassion’ and the decoration is the shape of a heart.

Mrs Jackson-Mayne has shared the activity on Seesaw for over half-term as it is such a lovely activity to be involved in.

Food Bank

During the week beginning 31 October, we invite parents with pupils in Junior 1 to send in tins or packets of food or hygiene products so that these can be donated to people in need in our local community. Please give your donations to the class teacher who will put them in a box in the classroom. On Friday 4 November the donations will be taken to the Kenilworth, Leamington and Warwick Food Banks to help communities in need.

Donations particularly in need are:

Long Life UHT Milk
Washing up Liquid
Male & Female Deodorants
Shower Gel
Packets of Instant Mash
Tinned Vegetables
Jam
Toothpaste
Products to avoid: dried pasta, baked beans, soup and tea.

If you have any questions or indeed any suggestions in ways we could help our local community, please contact Mrs Jackson-Mayne at sjacksonmayne@crackleyhall.co.uk

Thank you all so much in advance.

Vocations Week 2022

Vocations Week runs between Monday 31 October to Friday 4 November.

We have an exciting week planned to celebrate the gifts and talents we have each been given by God.

Each House will be able to hotseat their Saint to find out more. A House quiz will take place on Wednesday to see what they remember.

Junior 3H will lead the All Saints' Mass at 9.15am on Tuesday 1 November.

Parents and members of our wider community will come to school from Monday to Thursday to explain what role they do and the talents that are needed to fulfil this role.
