Young Historians in St Alban’s

Young Historians in St Alban’s

All classes have had a great History block over the last three weeks in school!

From the Stone Age to the Industrial Revolution, Ancient Greece, The Gunpowder Plot to name just a few, there has been lots and lots of learning about the past.

This block has also seen our very first ever ‘Young Historians’ recognised for going the extra mile and extending their knowledge with our Young Historian Challenges.

Outdoor Angles in Year 5

Outdoor Angles in Year 5

Year 5 have been revising angles. To help us work on remembering clockwise and anti-clockwise, as well as degrees in quarter, half and full turns, we took advantage of the sunshine and took our maths learning outdoors.

Safety First for Bonfire Night!

Safety First for Bonfire Night!

Years 4, 5 and 6 all took part in a special ‘staying safe’ assembly this morning, with the Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service and Northumbia Police. We were reminded of the potential dangers of Bonfire Night and learnt lots of ways that we can keep ourselves safe when around bonfires and fireworks.

World Book Day

World Book Day

Our nursery children and staff had a wonderful day celebrating World Book Day. We spent the day sharing our favourite stories and building reading dens. Then in the afternoon our Year 5 friends came down and read to us.
