The Chronicle

Dear Parents

We were pleased to have our opening Mass of the term on Tuesday as we were able to also celebrate St George's Day in an appropriate way. Mass was so ably led by our Junior 3 children – well done and thank you to them. Thank you, also, to Father Kevin for celebrating Mass and to the staff, including Mrs Olden, Mrs Forino, Mrs Simmonds, Mrs Van Zyl, Mrs Wildey, Mrs Wheatley, Miss Farquharson and Mrs Ambrose.

Our Junior 5 children left for their PGL residential trip on Tuesday morning. I understand that they have had a fabulous time trying new things including raft building, archery, the zip wire and a trapeze! I would like to thank Mrs Lammas, Mrs McAloon, Mr Stedeford and Miss Broadbent for taking them all.

Mr Vaughan and our U9 tag rugby team had an excellent day at the ISA tournament on Tuesday and they returned having come third! As always, the children tried their best and were a credit to the school.

We are always delighted to welcome prospective families to Crackley to look around the school and learn about what we offer, with a view to their children starting with us at some stage in the future. Our next Open Evening is scheduled for Thursday 9 May, between 5.00pm and 7.00pm. Places at the event can be booked via our website: The Princethorpe Foundation - Crackley Hall Open Evening Registration Form, so please do spread the word with any friends and family who might be interested.

A 'first' this week for me, and something that I have never heard of in any school, was to read of an incident that occurred in the playground where a child 'collided with the golden snitch' (they were fine!). The Quidditch Day, arranged by the PTA for the children, was a huge success and it was wonderful to see the children picking up the rules of a new game so quickly. Some teachers have now been trained in how to run quidditch matches and we hope to be able to introduce this exciting new sport to our house competition calendar next year.

Some of you will now know that Mrs Devine, our wonderful school receptionist, will be leaving us next Friday, 3 May. Mrs Devine has been a highly valued member of the Crackley staff team: she embodies the spirit and ethos of the school with her unfailing kindness and hardworking nature. We will miss Mrs Devine and wish her all the very best in her new role, back in the ‘business world’.

Congratulations to our Stars of the Week: Nursery – Jeea; Reception – Darcey and Edward; J1 – Orla and Sebastian; J2 – Jovan and Cole; J3 – Jai and Charlie; J4 – George and Gabriella; J6 – Sara and Finley. I am hoping to present Hannah (Nursery) and J5 (who were at PGL) with their certificates next week.  Well done to all those pupils who received their Crackley Compass awards and their Da Vincis this week – it is always lovely to be able to recognise excellence and effort.

Thank you to everyone who made today’s assembly so special for me. I was genuinely looking to sneak through today as quietly as possible. However, I felt most humbled and am very appreciative of the thought, time and effort that went into the planning. The singing from all the pupils was excellent, as was Mr Pike’s and Mrs Olden’s playing of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’. Thank you to all the pupils and staff for the lovely card and the wonderful singing. Thank you to the staff for the gift and also to Mrs Duigan for the thought and love that went into planning this morning.

I would like to wish everyone a happy and restful weekend with family and friends.

God bless,

Robert Duigan

Pupils at Crackley Hall School enjoyed a magical Quidditch Day on Wednesday 24 April when the youngsters became honorary Hogwarts students and learned to play the fast and exciting game made popular in the Harry Potter series.

Quidditch is an upcoming sport that is a mixture of Handball, Dodgeball, Tag-Rugby and Football. Crackley Hall’s Quidditch Day was funded by the PTA and facilitated by Ben and Owen from Enrich Education.

The day began with an assembly where the school’s House Captains were sorted into their Harry Potter houses – Jupiter was Ravenclaw, Venus was Slytherin, Saturn was Hufflepuff and Mars was Gryffindor. Pupils then took part in training sessions in their year groups. They picked up the rules quickly, first practising using the ‘Quaffle’ and ‘Bludger’ in drills before moving on to play mini-games. The object of the game was to score more points than the opposition by throwing the ‘Quaffle’ through three hoops at either end of the pitch and all before the ‘Golden Snitch’, or in our case the 'Golden Teacher', was caught.

The event was rounded off with an awards ceremony where the best Beater (J4A Nieve H), Chaser (J4A Jess G), Keeper (J6V Seb R) and Golden Snitch (Miss Eve) were presented with certificates before the overall winning House was announced. Congratulations go to Slytherin (Venus) who scored the most points across the day and were presented with the Quidditch Cup.

Crackley Hall School’s Quidditch Day was thoroughly enjoyed by all who took part. At the end of the day a number of staff received training on the sport and the plan is to now run a regular Quidditch House event. Quidditch proved to be fast and physical and was popular with pupils and staff alike.

We hope you enjoy this short video of photos and clips from the day.

Crackley took a team of Junior 4s to the ISA U9 Tag Rugby Tournament at Stafford Grammar on Tuesday 23 April.

Taking part were 13 teams from across the Midlands. Crackley’s squad put on a great show and were delighted to come home with the Bronze medal.

The players made a good start, winning every one of their group games to earn a place in the quarter finals. They won that match in overtime to progress to the semis where despite showing excellent tagging and support play, they just lost out by one try. A determined team went into the Bronze medal match which they won comfortably.

There was lots of learning for the young squad to take away. Well done team Crackley you showed great promise and should be proud of yourselves!

Crackley Hall was excited to welcome Year 5 and Year 6 pupils from local Kenilworth primary schools on Friday 19 April for a Junior Schools' cross-country challenge. The event took place out on a breezy but sunny sports field at Crackley Hall School.

The children were all keen to compete and ran with plenty of energy and enthusiasm, demonstrating determination and perseverance as they wound their way round the course and over the obstacles.

The Year 5 girls’ race was the first to get going and it was a close matched affair. Park Hill Juniors took overall first place, but Crackley Hall’s girls ran a strong race to finish in second place. Lexi-Jean was first home for Crackley just missing a medal after finishing in fourth place.

The Year 5 boys were next, with pupils giving their all and showing fabulous team spirit. Leo was second across the line to take the individual Silver medal. Priors Field took team first place with Crackley Hall’s boys claiming team second place.

The Year 6 girls showed grit and determination. Fantastic running from Eloise saw her finish second overall, to also claim a Silver medal helping the Crackley Hall Girls team claim another team second place.

Finally in the Year 6 boys’ race the runners set off at a fast pace. Patrick ran hard to keep up with the leaders and his perseverance helped him claim an individual Bronze medal after finishing in third place overall.

The individual races were followed by the Relay Race, where teams of four competitors ran a shorter course. Congratulations go to the Saturn House team (Sienna, Amy, Issy and Scarlett) who won the Girls Relay Race and to Crackley Hall’s Boys team (Ryan, Josh, Harry and Alex) who claimed victory in the Boys Relay Race.

There were fantastic performances by all of Crackley's pupils of which we are very proud, not only whilst running but also for their support of one another cheering and encouraging all the runners along.

Many thanks to Princethorpe’s young sports leaders who supported the event and especially to Lower Sixth Former, Ben, who ran as the hare in all five races!

It was a super afternoon of community cross country fun.

Father Kevin celebrated Mass at Crackley Hall on Tuesday this week to acknowledge the legacy of St George, who we remembered for his courage, endurance and sacrifice. The intention of the mass was for Mr Duigan's birthday and his family. Former teachers Mrs Snape and Mrs Flynn were also remembered and prayed for as they had recently passed away.

The mass was led by Junior 3 and mention was made of how St George, who came to England from Palestine, stood firm in his belief for what was right and turned away from things which were wrong. We reflected how this was related to us and how we could choose to go with God, rather than against Him.

Monday 29 April

Monday 29 April is World Dance Day – Miss Jazz (from Move it Shake it) has kindly offered to facilitate a complimentary 30 minute workshop for each class from Nursery through to Junior 6.

Our Stars of the Week this week are:

Congratulations to them all!

In Celebration Assembly this morning we celebrated, as always, the birthdays in our community, including an extra special big birthday this week for our much loved headmaster, Mr Duigan. We sang Happy Birthday to Mr Duigan and on behalf of the school Mrs Glen-Roots presented him with gifts and a beautiful booklet containing messages and drawings from every pupil and member of staff in school. We hope you enjoy your birthday Mr Duigan! 

Celebration Assembly, also included news of the childrens' successes and achievements and special performances by pupils, including a sensational slot by our amazing Chamber Choir and Choral Group who had specially rehearsed Shosholoza - a Nguni South African song, Ndebele, a traditional south African folk song, Weeping, a South African pop song recorded in 1987 which uses its chorus from the refrain Zulu anthem (God Bless Africa). The assembly concluded with The World in Union, the theme song from the Rugby World Cup, and the iconic Liverpool song, You'll Never Walk Alone.

Here are some photos from this morning.

This week in Art, Junior 6 are continuing their exploration into Pop Art. Looking at the work of acclaimed artist Andy Warhol, the children investigated how they could make a simple drawing of a piece of fruit bold and eye-catching. Once they chose their fruit, they started to create their pop art interpretations from it using pen and paint. We had purple bananas, pink kiwis and even orange apples! It’s so fantastic to see the children use their imagination and creativity to fully express themselves. Well done Junior 6, we can’t wait to see your finished works of art!

This week, Junior 5 have had a fantastic time on their residential trip to PGL, Boreatton Park. The children have been learning new skills through a range of different activities: archery, giant swing, abseiling and more. They have also been demonstrating their teamworking skills in orienteering, raft building and Jacob’s ladder. They had to work together to achieve their objective, whether that be creating a raft that floats on the lake, reaching the top or finding different things around the park. As well as their activity packed days, the children have had enjoyable evenings playing Cluedo, disco dancing and of course experiencing a traditional campfire. Overall, the children have had an amazing experience. 

Junior 4R have been exploring storms in music this week.  They listened to a piece of music called Storm by Benjamin Britten, written in 1945 and which forms part of a musical interlude from an opera called Peter Grimes about a struggling and lonely fisherman.  They created the drama of the music through the pictures they were drawing. They listened to all the brass instruments, paying particular attention to the dynamics of the music, beginning with the powerful and loud fortissimo, whilst ending with the very soft dynamic of the piantissimo, and they talked about their feelings through sound of being terrified on the sea. We also did a rehearsal with the whole year group for our upcoming Summer show.

Junior 3 are really getting to grips with their new Science topic on plants. Following on from our understanding of the different parts of the plant, we have now looked closely at the parts of a flower. In our Science lesson we completed a ‘daffodil dissection’ and identified each part as we carefully dissected. In pairs, we were able to name and label all these parts and also to explain their functions. We were amazed to discover that one part of the plant has the same name as part of the female anatomy. We are now really looking forward to finding out more about pollination and how these parts of the flower each help to make more plants. Let’s hope there is some sunshine soon and we will see more flowers blossoming all around us too.

Junior 2 have been exploring the Tin Forest, a tale that follows a solitary man who, amidst a desolate landscape of urban decay in discarded scraps of metal, transforms his surroundings into a place where he finds solace and creativity. Through his boundless imagination he turns his environment into a beautiful, lush, and vibrant forest made of tin.

As the man’s forest thrives so does his spirits; this is exactly how we have felt as we have compared, sequenced, and created our very own tin objects to create a little forest of our very own. The message has been clear, through resilience and hope, we can all create magic and bring joy to others.

During PE we were learning how to improve our hand eye coordination. Mr Vaughan has shown us how we can catch a ball and roll it with a boxed barrier.

Junior 1 have shown such enthusiasm in our Maths lessons this week and there has been a wonderful buzz in the classrooms. Everyone had lots of opportunity to investigate with different manipulatives to make arrays and doubles, and to finally share them equally into groups. We saw some fabulous, practical work individually and in pairs which really brought our Maths alive. Our English lessons gave us the opportunity to practise our knowledge of adjectives when we wrote sentences from the story of Handa’s Surprise which described the fruit in Handa’s basket. We then went on to write our own adjectives for a different set of fruit. Everyone also had to remember their capital letters, full stops and word spaces whilst forming letters correctly and sitting them on the line - phew! There is always so much to remember when writing correct sentences!

This week in Reception we have had a fast and fabulous look at train journeys. From watching what the journey through the tunnel to Paris was like, to exploring friction by sending trains down ramps – we have enjoyed finding out more. In our Understanding The World lesson the children were able to explore a range of materials, work in pairs and ultimately decide which surface produced less friction and allowed the trains to travel further. Everyone enjoyed getting competitive – and it was almost as exciting as our Quidditch day!  However, we all agreed that Quidditch was brilliant fun, scoring points for our houses by throwing the ‘quaffle’ through the hoop – whilst dodging the pesky ‘bludgers’… and then, Mrs Brannon made us all smile by becoming a wonderful ‘snitch’ at the end. The children kept her on her toes, running in all different directions trying to catch her. Thank you to the PTA for organising all the fun, we hope we can play Quidditch again soon!

Continuing with Easter, Junior 2 have been learning more about the Resurrection of Jesus.  They thought about how the disciples felt about the Resurrection from when they first heard about it to when Jesus was alive again. This led to discussing some of the symbols of the Crucifixion and Resurrection and we made a cross and an empty tomb to symbolise this.

There’s no doubt that the Junior 4 trip to PGL Liddington has made a lasting impression on pupils, creating unforgettable experiences and special memories. With this in mind, this week in Lego Club we decided to travel, not by coach, but by stepping aboard the iconic Hogwarts express train to the outdoor adventure centre ready to re-enact the variety of activity sessions, from aerial adventures to fun problem-solving initiatives in Lego form! We swung into action on the popular giant swing and zip wire and practised our skills at archery and climbing, before heading for the sensory trail - relying on our senses as the minifigures were blindfolded! We even added a new activity - braving the river and challenging ourselves on the rapids - let's save this one for next time! 

Spring has sprung, and so has the new Trinity Term House 'Art' competition!

Ms Holmes would like you to create a wonderful sprintime image. Work can be 2D or 3D and must be colourful and bright to reflect this wonderful time of year! Maybe try to stretch yourself by using a medium you haven't used before.

House points will be given for entering, for innovative ideas and for overall creativity.

• Entering -  5 house points
• 3rd prize - 10 house points
• 2nd prize - 20 house points
• 1st prize - 25 house points

Work should be your own and no larger than A3.

Work should be handed in to Ms Holmes in the art room by Thursday 16 May.

Please click here for further information.

Good luck everyone, can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Get CREATING!

We have had a wonderful week in Nursery.

The Dormice children are continuing with their theme of Castles. This week we made and painted our very own castle; the children developed their pretend play, dressing up as knights and climbing over the drawbridge. They also enjoyed listening and singing along to The Grand Old Duke Of York!

In Badgers and Hedgehogs, phonics has moved from the Seaside and onto visiting parks. The children have shared their own experiences of going to a park and all the things they can do there. They have thought about what they might see or hear at the park as well as the sounds they make (going down the slide). As well as having a picnic in the park, most children agreed they liked to play on the swings and the play equipment the most. Outside, the children have been exploring pushes and pulls, and have been naming these actions whilst they play. In the Curiosity Box this week, there was a range of springs and rubber bands. Children had the opportunity to explore and describe these, again feeling and observing what happens when they pushed the springs/bands together or pulled them apart.   

Now the children are so good at saying how they feel, we have been helping them to recognise how other people are feeling. Using scenario cards, they have been looking for clues in body language to work out how someone else is feeling, and having a go at guessing why they are feeling this way. They were then asked to use a sentence using the word ‘because’ to match the scenario. For example, “The girl is happy because it is her birthday.”

Well done everyone!

For children who require any medication periodically or on a permanent basis, the Office will require a completed Administration of Medication Form. A copy is attached for your convenience. 

Administration of Medication Form

Please ensure that any medication brought into school is in date and labelled with your child's name and form.

Please hand medication into the School Office, please do not give to your child to hand in. 

When dropping off in the morning, if you are using carline, please move round the roundabout before dropping off and do not leave your car unattended. Carline can cause traffic issues on the Kenilworth Road, so please be mindful.

If you are dropping off and wish to walk your child up to the school or are coming into school please use the Lower Playground or the Sports Field. Please remember to park considerately as parking is at a premium.

We would ask that if you use the Lower Playground at morning drop off, that you leave the school site promptly, as parking is at a premium, and it has been causing traffic congestion.

Please do not park on the Grasscrete Parking area or on the left hand side when you enter the school main carline, as these are both staff parking areas.

Where possible, please avoid parking on the local residential roads, and if you do, please park considerately and legally. 

When collecting in the evening, please adhere to the collection times, as if you arrive too early, this causes traffic congestion. If you are early, we would suggest parking on the Sports Field and walking up to school.

If you are unsure or wish to clarify any points, please call the School Office.
