Thank you to all the helpers who ensured everything went so smoothly.
Earlier this year, we introduced a new PE kit protocol, where children came to school wearing their PE kit. While this change received mixed feedback from parents, we value your opinions and want to find a solution that works best for everyone.
To address the issue regarding PE kits, we would like to invite parents to participate in a voting process. Your input will help us determine the preferred approach moving forward. We have outlined two options for you to consider:
Option 1:
Children bring their PE kit in a named bag and leave it at school. It is the responsibility of both the child and parent to ensure the kit is regularly taken home for washing. Teachers will empty the cloakrooms every half term to facilitate this process.
Option 2:
Children come to school wearing their PE kits.
To gather your votes, Mrs. Cooper and Mrs. Jepson will be sending out a voting poll within the next two weeks. Your vote truly counts and will play a significant role in shaping our PE kit protocol.
Thank you for your continued support and active involvement in shaping our school policies.
Look out for the poll on Class Dojo!
This afternoon, Year 5 have been learning more about the Eatwell Guide. The Eatwell Guide shows how much of what we eat overall should come from each food group to achieve a balanced diet.
They looked at the components of the Eatwell Guide and thought more about what it means to have a balanced diet. Why not ask them about it at home?
This is part of the Joy of moving Move and Learn Project.
This morning, Year 5 and Year 6 took part in a Santa Dash which is a themed orienteering session. It involved using a map and solving clues. Everyone enjoyed taking part. Thank you to the Sports Leaders who organised the event.
UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 starts in England tonight and is set to be the biggest European women’s sport event ever. We are also very lucky to have some of the games being played in Rotherham.
Why not visit the Fan Festival?

This morning, Year 5 took part in the The Great WEURO22 Reading Quiz via a webinar. We got 100 percent in the quiz.
We have also drawn teams to support during the tournament to make it more exciting. (Although we all have England as our first team!)
Let’s hope for an exciting start tonight.
Last week, Year 5 developed their orienteering skills by completing a new orienteering course. They worked hard to follow the map and solve the clues.
Congratulations to everyone who took part in St Alban’s Sports Day today. We all tried to do the best we could to help our team.
Thank you to the Parents and Carers who came as spectators.
This year, Jordan were the winners of the whole competition.
This is the warm up.
Thank you to all the helpers and to Mrs. Jepson who organised the event.
A huge well done to Sophie, who took part in the Rotherham Schools Fun Run yesterday. Sophie did so well, running the whole way around and coming first in her age group. We are very proud of you Sophie.
Lillie and Lottie are a part of Trailblazers Allstars Cheerleading club. On Saturday, they competed at Sheffield Institute of Sport against ten other cheerleading groups and came third. This is the first competition they have entered.
Well done to them both. What interesting activities do you do out of school?
Today in PE, Year 5 worked on their tennis skills. They began by developing their hand eye coordination.
