DSAT Times Tables Rockstars Tournament

By Mr FrelichMaths, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6

Our children took part in a KS2 Times Tables Rock Stars Tournament in May.

— St. Alban’s CofE finished 1st out of 12 schools from DSAT.

— Out of 60 class taking part, our Y4s came 2nd overall.

— Out of 1035 children participating, three of our pupils made it into the top 10: Shivraj (2nd), Dominic B 7th and Mikey M 8th. Noah K placed 21st, Myles F 41st, Grayson K 46th and Isla C 50th.

The effort and commitment from our KS2 children is something we are incredibly proud of. As the results are based on average scores for each pupil, every child who took part contributed to our success.

The photos show the award ceremony where the top 10 MVPs (Most Valuable Players) received their awards and the DSAT trophy was presented. It now sits proudly on display in the school reception.

Year 6 Design and Technology

By Mrs.CooperDesign Technology, Mental Health, Year 2, Year 6

For DT, Year 6 needed to make a product for a client. Their clients this year were Year 2 children. The Year 2 children were asked to create a character for their Amygdala (the part of the brain that controls the fight, flight or freeze reactions). Their designs would be brought to life by the Year 6 children completing a textiles project to turn the designs in to a soft toy.

Throughout the process, the children have had to have client meetings to discuss designs and fabrics etc.. They learned about different types of stitches, seam allowance and different finishings such as embroidery. With help from their families and friends, the year 6 children spent an afternoon sewing the products.

The Year 2 children have finally received their products and they are over the moon with them.

Here are some examples:

Sinai House leaders Bible Reading

By Adi WiddopCollective worship, House Sinai, Religious Education, Year 6

Our lovely Sinai House leaders Annie and Preston visited our EYFS and Key Stage 1 classes this afternoon to read the children a bible story. The house leaders did an excellent job using their “story teller” voices to engage the children. All children listened attentively to the stories and answered questions well. Children in Year 2 were able to read along using their own bibles. Well done Sinai leaders!

Whole school Geography Fieldwork month!

By Adi WiddopFS2, Geography, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6

October was “Geography fieldwork month” in St.Alban’s. Fieldwork is where you go outside the classroom and find things out for yourself. Over the last month, our students have had the opportunity to explore the local area and learn in a more practical, hands-on way in geography.

Each class was given a different enquiry question that they had to try and answer using a variety of progressive fieldwork skills. Children across school completed maps, surveys, time sampling, tallys, pictograms and digital mapping linked to their enquiry question. Children then used the information that they had gathered to draw their own conclusions.

Today, each class had the opportunity to present their findings to the rest of the school. Children were very adept at explaining what they did and what they found out. Well done St.Alban’s- we are all geographers!
