On Monday and Tuesday 13 and 14 February Crackley Hall’s pupils will once again take part in a charity skipathon, an annual fund-raising event organised by Crackley’s Mini Vinnies.

Mini Vinnies’ Co-ordinator, Mrs Dolores Simmonds explains, “This year the children will be skipping to support Mary's Meals. The charity provides daily meals in a place of learning addressing both the immediate needs of hungry children whilst encouraging them to go to school where they can gain an education that can help them out of poverty. This is only possible due to the generosity of fundraisers, volunteers and supporters from all over the world.”

The children at Crackley Hall have pledged to raise as much money as possible for Mary's Meals and have been collecting sponsors over the last few weeks. In the skipathon the children will take it in turns, one House at a time, to skip, hop or jump for one minute each. 

With the recent earthquake disaster happening in Turkey and Syria, Mary's Meals have confirmed they will also be providing much needed help.

Pupils are asked to bring their own skipping ropes, if possible.

We are having an increasing amount of lost property in school which is unnamed and, therefore, impossible to be returned to its rightful owner.

From next Friday, a table of lost property will be put in the Gables Foyer before Celebration Assembly. Lost property will be put out for two weeks, to cover KS1 and KS2 Assemblies, with any unclaimed uniform being then donated to the PTA for re-sale.

Unnamed, unclaimed water bottles, lunchboxes and snackboxes will be disposed of.

Please help us to return your child's property to them by labelling everything clearly.

Please check labels in your own child`s clothing to see if you are in possession of someone else's items.
