Today has been a very special day at St Alban’s. Ginger Stache from Joyce Meyer ministries visited our school to interview the children about our spiritual help desks which were inspired by Joyce Meyer’s book Battlefield of the Mind.
The children’s behaviour was exceptional as they spoke confidently about how the help desk has impacted on their lives. Well done children- we will let you know when the show will be aired on TV.
At St Alban’s we love to get into the spirit of Christmas and decorate the school. This year each class has created work based on a traditional Christmas Carol.

Merry Christmas everyone!
Today a few year 6 children helped create St Alban’s Church memorial garden. The children planted poppies with the names of the 28 soldiers that died in World War 1.
Next time you walk through the Church yard take a look at the 28 poppies and remember the sacrifices that were made by these men and their families.

Today we have been given a silhouette by Wickersley Parish Counsel of William Bell who was one of the 28 men who lost their lives during World War 1. His name can be found on Wickersley War Memorial and he is buried in St Albans Churchyard. The silhouette has been placed near our spiritual helpdesk. Take a look when you walk through school.
William Bell died age 31, son of Martha Bell of School Green, Wickersley. He was the son of the late Charles Bell. He had previously served as 43999 York and Lancaster Regiment. He died at home.
We look forward to seeing you at our Remembrance Service on Friday the 9th of November at 9:00am.
At 9:00am on Friday 12th October we will be celebrating Harvest Festival at our Church. We are asking parents to donate non-perishable goods, which St Alban’s will give to Rush House.
This morning I was greeted with five superb writers. These children have written poems about God’s creation. I was very impressed with your vocabulary choices.

Sending our best wishes to such a lovely class who have worked incredibly hard over the last 8 years and grown into kind young people.

Today is St Alban’s Day
Our school sets huge value on the quality of courage so let’s take a moment to think about St Alban’s courageous act.
St Alban is venerated as the first recorded Christian martyr in England. His death came as a result of him shielding a priest to whom he had given refuge. It is in the nature of this story that it concerns one who gave his life for his values and beliefs.
Though a legend the story embodies something of the vulnerability that is required if we are to act in courage. Alban quite literally cloaks himself with the garment of the one he seeks to protect and, in doing so, takes his place.
