Sports Day

By Corona - Covid19 Virus, Sport, Sporting Excellence

Last night we received further guidance from the DFE about sports days.

School have considered the guidance and also the fact that we have had a recent bubble closure, and decided to NOT invite parents to sports day.

We are disappointed that parents will not be part of our sports days, but we must prioritise staying open and minimise the risk of infection.

Mrs Cooper is an excellent photographer, and has agreed to take take photos of the children to share on class dojo.

Thank you,

Mrs Gurner

Diversity

By Collective worship, Community, Equality, House Carmel, House Jericho, House Jordan, House Sinai, PSHE

This half term, we have been learning about diversity. We asked every child in the school to complete a questionnaire to find out what diversity means to them.

This week our house leaders have been super busy interviewing children to prepare a diversity assembly that we are going to show at school tomorrow. House leaders worked so hard to conduct the interviews in a covid safe way.

Here is a trailer for their assembly.

Well done St Alban’s!

Class Elections

By Collective worship, Community, House Carmel, House Jericho, House Jordan, House Sinai, PSHE

Today our lovely house leaders led collective worship for the whole school.

In this meeting, house leaders discuss class elections that are happening on the 6th May. We think it is important that our children learn about democracy, preparing them to live and thrive in modern Britain.

Watch this film to find out more.

Thank you,

Bible Presentation

By Collective worship, Community, Religious Education

Today Huw Thomas from the Diocese of Sheffield, presented Bibles to our key stage two children via a live zoom.

All pupils were invited to the special collective worship, including our youngest children in foundation 1, who sat beautifully.

For many years, it has been a St Alban’s tradition to present our year 6 children with a Bible as they leave school in year 6. From today, we are doing things slightly different.

Children will be presented with a Bible when they move in to the juniors (year 3). This Bible will stay with the children as they move classes and they will take it home when they leave St Alban’s.

How will we use the Bibles?
Children will use their Bibles in collective worship, religious education and engage with it weekly in class. In addition to this, I plan to work with each class to explore some fantastic Bible stories that are not covered in our curriculum.

In the Summer term we will be presenting our lovely year 6 class with a new leaving gift, which we know they will cherish.

Thank you,
