Parent Resources

By Collective worship, Community, PSHE, Religious Education

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.

KS2 Reading Tutors

By English, House Carmel, Reading

Meet our reading tutors! Last week, Mr Frelich and I trained these children to listen to infants read. Once a week, our kind tutors will listen to younger children read, to help build their reading fluency.

Community is so important to St Alban’s. The younger children love having this special time with our year 5 and 6 children. What excellent role models we are blessed to have at our school!

Where in the world does our food come from?

By Geography, Year 5

In Year 5, we have been thinking about trade links with countries around the world.  We have looked at imports and exports and why products can not always be sourced within the United Kingdom.

We thought about our favourite foods and where in the world they came from and used atlases to locate the sources of a variety of different foods.

Sheffield Children’s Hospital Fundraising & World Book Day

By Uncategorized

Earlier this month, staff and students were invited to wear pyjamas to help raise money for a charity close to our hearts: Sheffield Children’s Hospital. This was planned for the 4th of March. World Book Day is the 3rd March.

We have made the decision to combine these two events for Thursday 3rd March (World Book Day). We would still ask for a £1 donation (all proceeds go to the hospital). Children can come in pyjamas with their favourite bedtime story or they can bring their favourite book and come dressed as their favourite character from it.

There will be lots of wonderful books, reading and story related activities happening on that Thursday. If I remember rightly, we were in lockdown for last year’s World Book Day and this year is the 25 year anniversary so let’s make this a special one.

A Message from Sinai House Leaders

By Collective worship, Community, House Sinai

Dear Children,

Exciting news! After half term, we are selling prayer bracelets. If you would like to order a bracelet then please complete the order form attached and hand in to your Sinai house ambassador, who will pass it on to us, your House Leaders. Please hand in by Friday 18th February.

Prayer bracelets remind you to pray about certain things. You can order more than one bracelet and we will be selling them all half term so you can order additional bracelets if you miss the deadline. We’ll keep order forms in classrooms.

All bracelets cost £1.50 and money raised will go towards updating the gratitude tree. Children can bring the money to school when they receive their order.

Thank you,

Ariella and Lexi (Sinai House Leaders)
