Today House Jericho did a great job organising an Easter egg hunt for the whole school. It was lovely to see the children working collaboratively and having so much fun.
We will let you know tomorrow which house has won- 1000 house points for the winning team.
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.

Last week the whole school enjoyed Sinai’s assembly, celebrating our children’s talents.
Introducing Lucy playing her guitar, Jacob singing and George skipping.
Well done children, it takes so much courage to perform in front of the whole school.
Carmel’s Easter Treasure Hunt was a great success today. We will announce the winning house in collective worship tomorrow.
A huge thank you to the House Carmel’s Leaders. They organised the whole day and demonstrated their superb leadership skills.
The PTA rewarded all children with a chocolate egg- this was a welcome treat after the fast pace treasure hunt -in the cold Spring air!
We are very excited about performing Oliver to you this week! The programmes are ready and will be available to buy for 50p on the day. One per family initially, to ensure all children have a keepsake. Thank you to Mr & Mrs Jones for their help in the production of these.
Fearne so kindly made a celebration chocolate cake for myself and all the helpers! It is delicious – thank you too to Nonna who helped!
If anyone has a good camera and wouldn’t mind taking a few pictures for us please let myself or Mrs Tune know.
See you all on Thursday!
Please see Mrs Tune or Miss Gretton for tickets. There is no limit on tickets so if you wish to bring Grandparents or other family members you are most welcome.
Thank you for for supporting House Carmel’s book sale with your kind book donations.
The book sale went really well but has been cut short due to school closing. So when we return to school we will continue to sell books at break times.
We have a great selection of good quality books and most books cost 50p. All money raised will go towards buying new seating for the library area.
Thank you
St Alban’s School will be closed tomorrow, Thursday 1st March.
It is clear that temperatures will remain below freezing, and there is the threat of continued heavy snow showers. This decision has been made to ensure the health and safety of all staff and pupils.
Please help us to ensure all parents receive this message by sharing through your own social media.
Thank you,
On Wednesday 21st February House Sinai will be hosting their first ‘Celebrating Talents’ assembly. They have chosen the following children to show off their talents to the school.
Year 2- Libby (dancing)
Year 3- Fearne (Singing)

We hope that these assemblies will give all pupils a chance to celebrate their talents and may encourage children to try new things. We have not invited parents to this collective worship.
