Our Stars of the Week this week are:

Congratulations to them all!

As we begin a new school year, Crackley Hall's first school mass focused on Firm Foundations and New Beginnings. Fr Kevin reminded us that the beginning of a new school year is an opportunity to start afresh by turning over a new leaf. We listened to the story about the wise and foolish builders. The foolish builder built their house on sand where it was crushed in a storm. The wise person who built their house on solid rock where it will stand up to any storm. We were encouraged to use Jesus' teachings as a foundation to help each of us have a successful school year.

Ms Holmes is excited to announce the theme for this half-term's inter-house Art competition is HARVEST. You can take the idea of Harvest Festival from any culture you like, remember it’s all about colour, shape and foods grown in the countryside

Work should be the child's own, completed and handed in with their name, year group and most importantly their House, before the closing date on Wednesday 18 October. Work should be no larger than A3 please. They can work in any medium you like; pencil, pen, paint, crayon, pastel, junk box, paper, charcoal – it’s up to them.

The information is also on SEESAW for your reference.

Ms Holmes is looking for your unwanted/unused costume jewellery please for an art project.

If you are happy to donate, please leave them in a named envelope with the school office, so she can thank you personally. Ms Holmes is particularly looking for faux pearls.
