The Chronicle

With thanks to Mrs Olden, children from Crackley Hall Chamber Choir and Orchestra have been lucky enough to experience Orchestral performances at the Warwick Arts Centre this week. The children went to watch the Estonian Symphony Orchestra and pianist Barry Douglas. Mr Douglas spoke to children who attended. Mr Douglas is a respected musician, whose international music career is flourishing, that has been awarded an OBE and CBE for his services to music. 

What an amazing opportunity for our musicians.

The Feast of Ascension was celebrated on Thursday with a special Collective Worship led by Mrs Jackson-Mayne. Children were asked to think of their favourite superheroes and then think about their own superpower!

Mrs Jackson-Mayne used 11 balloons to name all the disciples. Pupils held their breaths with excitement as one further balloon, filled with helium, ascended to the rafters of The Gables, symbolising the Ascension. Using the picture of the Sacred Heart, Mrs Jackson-Mayne reminded pupils on the mission of the disciples, which was to use their hearts to reflect God’s love. She called up siblings to look at similarities between them. We saw the same smiles, the same freckles, hair and eyes. The children reflected on the idea that we have all been given Jesus’ heart and it is up to us how we use this Super Power.

When Jesus left, He asked the disciples to continue His work and tell everyone the message of love.

We held our much-anticipated Key Stage 1 Sports Day on Thursday 18 May and the children all enjoyed a super morning out on the ‘big field’.

Crackley’s sports stars of the future jumped, sprinted and threw their way through a jam-packed morning of sporting fun, enthusiastically taking on the carousel of different activities. Proudly wearing their House colours and with big, enormous smiles, the children clearly all had a super time.

It was lovely to see so many parents out on the field cheering their youngsters on. Many thanks to Junior 6 for organising all the activities this year and a huge well done to everyone who took part.

Our Stars of the Week this week are:

Congratulations to them all!
