The Chronicle

Reception have been enthralled with the Christmas story this week and after acting our their part in the Nativity play on stage and listening to the Christmas story in their RE lessons, they created out of playdough their nativity characters. With lots of shepherds, angels and innkeepers, the children were able to tell each other exactly what the characters in the Nativity scene did, including the special message Angel Gabriel told Mary that she was going to have a baby and she should call Him Jesus. 

During this Advent season we have covered the previous two candles of Advent which were purple.  This week Mr Duigan led Monday’s Assembly as we learnt about the third Advent candle – the pink candle representing Joy. The third Sunday is also known as Gaudete Sunday – Latin for Rejoice - and it reminds us of the joy the world experienced at the birth of Jesus, as well as the joy that we have reached the midpoint of Advent and our hearts are turned to the joy that is to come.

Father Kevin led a whole school Mass today in preparation for Christmas. The Advent mass theme was about love and how We love because He first loved us. He spoke about how we too can love others like God loves each of us equally.

Crackley Hall's next Mass will be the Epiphany Mass on Friday 6 January at 10.30am. Parents are warmly invited to attend.

We hear how an angel appeared to Joseph to tell him what a special baby Jesus would be. We think about parents and babies from around the world.
