This weekend, Ava and Sam took a little piece of St Alban’s to London. They laid a card with our school prayer and some flowers from the school garden in remembrance of Queen Elizabeth II.
Thank you Ava and Sam
Y6 had a visitor to school to talk about Road Safety. The children recapped on what had been previously learnt at Crucial Crew and related this to moving on to secondary school.
The children learned about the App What3Words and now understand that this is a very useful app for finding a persons location in an emergency.
This week is Autism Acceptance Week.
Please see the poster attached for ways that people can help and support others with Autism.
The children will be learning about Autism Acceptance week in Collective Worship tomorrow.
Year 1 had a visit from the Fire service to support our learning. Children were very excited and loved that the fire engine came up the drive flashing its lights and sirens. We learnt about the different parts and equipment a fire engine has, sat inside the cab and got to use the fire hose. It was very powerful. 
Today many of our children came to school asking questions about Ukraine. For this reason, in collective worship we talked about worries and the importance of sharing these worries with people that we trust.
Here are some reading resources to help parents think about how they can support children with what they are seeing or feeling during these challenging times.

Thank you,
Many children can suffer from eating disorders. There is help out there if you need it.
Unfortunately, most children will experience loss or grief. We want to be here for our children through the good times and the sad times. With the help of Ernie’s Wish, we now have a library of beautiful books that could help children through these challenging times.
Children can loan these books or read them with an adult at school -whatever feels right. Books have such a special way of helping children understand and explore unfamiliar emotions.
Please let us know if your child requires any additional pastural care.
A big thank you to Mrs Mayor, who sourced many of these books from Ernie’s Wish.
Thank you,
These responsible children have volunteered to help younger children in the dining hall at lunchtime. Encouraging them to drink lots of water and try new foods.
Thank you so much for making our school such a special place.
