Class 6 News
Fri 26 Apr 2024Year 6 have had another brilliant week this week. As we continue to prepare for SATS, we become increasingly amazed at their resilience. We cannot fault their effort. Aside from SATs preparations, we have been very busy building our hockey skills, playing some small games. We have also been learning about different family members in Spanish and this week, we have also had a visit from our mental health support team to aid the children with their mindset as they move towards getting ready for secondary school.
The Albany Junior football team, yesterday afternoon, played against Bramcote Church of England School. Unfortunately, the boys lost 3-0 but with some heroic goalkeeping by R. Straw, we managed to stay in the game and never give in. The team gave it everything up until the final whistle and we are truly proud of them for that. Our next game is scheduled for Thursday 16th May in a friendly against Bispham Drive Primary School.

Fri 22 Mar 2024WOW! What a week we have had. On Monday, we went to the Tropical Butterfly House in Sheffield and had a fantastic time. We were incredibly lucky with the weather and got to see a range of different animals. For example: giant tortoises, lemurs, meerkats, wallabies, otters, tamarins macaws and butterflies. In the butterfly house, we had a talk from one of the rangers all about the tropical environment and learnt about how different animals use a range of senses to help them survive. Some children even held a giant cockroach!
On Wednesday, some children went in to Nottingham to meet some of the Nottingham Panthers and had a go at ice-skating. The children who stayed in school took part in a number of Easter themed activities and special Spanish and Music sessions. Today, we had our Easter service at St Helens Church and learnt all about this special time of year. Next week, we have just three days in school before we break up for the holiday.
