The Chronicle

On Friday the 2 February, pupils at Crackley Hall all celebrated Number Day by ‘going green’. Dressed in our finest green, we found out how mathematics is used in the real world to create a sustainable future. The topics explored ranged from measuring food waste, to how maths is used to recycle rubbish and even calculating food miles. We also heard some very sobering statistics about the impact of climate change and pollution on our planet. Pupils enjoyed activities such as creating bar charts of their recycling, calculating food waste in tons, looking at temperature increases around the world, and suggesting multiplication arrays for future planting.  

We all feel compelled to help create a sustainable future and are overjoyed to know how maths can help us achieve this.

On Wednesday, the U11A girls' team travelled to Bilton Grange and despite gale force winds, the girls showing outstanding talent, using their knowledge of passing required to ensure possession was kept and the ball didn't fly away!

The girls have been working hard in training, on driving onto the ball and putting a pass into space using a shoulder pass, which all girls demonstrated during this game. The girls were patient coming down the court, showing their maturing knowledge of the game. Essential defensive turnovers, consistently accurate shooting and some brilliant feeds into the D, sealed our 19-10 win against Bilton Grange. Well done to Elsie (Captain), Alexa, Amy, Issy, Elora, Phoebe, Darcey and Eloise.

Congratulations also to the J3 girls who also played at Bilton Grange and won 13-3.  Well done to Sloan, Charley, Fiorella, Laura, Poppy and Lillyrose.

Our Stars of the Week this week are:

Congratulations to them all!
