At the Eleventh Hour on the Eleventh Day of the Eleventh Month – We Will Remember Them.

On Monday, the whole school gathered in the hall to remember the men and women who had fallen during conflicts throughout the world. Mr Duigan led the Remembrance Service and at 11am The Last Post was played and a two-minute silence was held.

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.”

Today, we celebrate Gurpurab, Guru Nanak’s birthday. He is the founder of Sikh faith.

Punjabi club celebrated Gurpurab by remembering his teaching of love for all creation, gender equality and working for the betterment of everyone, regardless of their colour, gender or creed. His concept of Langar is feeding millions of people across the globe.

We have a big Sikh community in our school. Mrs Kaur, who runs a Punjabi Club in school, brought samosas and sweets in for the children to celebrate. Happy Gurpurab!

It was lovely to welcome so many families to Stay 'n' Play on Wednesday morning. This week’s session was held in Little Crackers Nursery, providing parents and carers the perfect opportunity to see the nursery setting. Nursery Manager, Emma, was on hand to say hello while Miss Mary had organised a special poppy craft table. The children were free to explore the resources, including the sand pit, small world toys, reading corner and painting easels. As always, everyone enjoyed their coffee and cake.

Stay ‘n’ Play is back in the school hall next week from 10.30am to 11.45am and everyone is welcome to come along. Our next special session will be our Christmas party which takes place on Wednesday 11 December. Visit our website to find out more about Stay ‘n’ Play: www.littlecrackers.co.uk/stay-n-play

In support of Anti-Bullying Week, Crackley Hall School took part in Odd Socks Day on Tuesday 12 November, to celebrate that we are all different and unique. Odd Socks Day reminds pupils that they are allowed to be themselves and brings to life the important messages behind Anti Bullying Week 2024 in a fun and positive way.

This year's campaign asked us all to ‘Choose Respect’ and to imagine a world where respect and kindness thrives. Classes were working with their teachers exploring the theme throughout the week.
