Year 3 News
Fri 24 Jul 2026What a year! The children in year 3 have come so far this year and have made us so proud. This week has really shown the progress. The children have spent time completing quizzes about all of their learning from across the year. The amount they can remember is absolutely fantastic! They have also had the chance to look through some more of their books and really appreciate themselves and how far they have come. It is so wonderful to see so many children feeling so proud of themselves.
We have had a lovely year and hope the children have too.
Have a safe and restful summer!

We have continued with our swimming lessons and lots of children have achieved their 25m swimming.
Our DAaRT officer was incredibly impressed with our graduation performance where we shared what we have learnt and pledges for choices in the future.
In art we have almost completed our water colour River pictures.
A reminder that next week we have two leavers performances - Monday at 2pm and Wednesday at 9am. All children will have brought their tickets home this week.
Please send in your messages for us to read out for the children in the show if you haven't already.

Year 5 News
Fri 17 Jul 2026How are we nearly at the end of term?
This year has absolutely flown by and we have had a fantastic time. This week, we have been busy finishing our sequels to the Snow Leopard and finishing our maths units. In music, we had a brilliant lesson taking part in African drumming. At first, some struggled to find the right rhythm but by the end it was sounding brilliant and we even had four different tunes working together. It was awesome! In science, we completed three different experiments to separate materials using the knowledge we gained from our lessons over the term.
As next week is the final week, we will not be sending home spellings.

Fri 17 Jul 2026It has been a super super busy week this week, particularly with swimming starting! Perfect for this hot weather. The children have designed their ideal sandwich and are looking forward to making it starting from Monday (We may not get through all in one morning.) The children have studied their RE unit, learning about different ways of worship and we completed our diary of King Arthur.
Next week is the last week of year 4- how time has flown. We will still be working hard, completing units of work, having quizzes about the History, Geography and Topic units we have studied this year, and learning more about the British Values and Protected Characteristics.
There are no spellings set for next week. Have a great weekend 🙂

Year 3 News
Fri 17 Jul 2026This week has brought with it a number of year 3 'lasts'. The children are really showing how far they have come this year and are constructively reviewing their improvements. We are so proud of them and the difference we can see! The children have especially shown their improvement through the final piece of writing and the way that they have written it up. Both the content and the presentation are wonderful! Next week is due to be a really lovely week, so enjoy a restful weekend and we look forward to enjoying this time with them.

Year 6 News
Fri 10 Jul 2026This week, Y6 have been really enjoying their swimming lessons and they are making excellent progress. Some of the children visited George Spencer for their transition days. In RE, we have been learning about the impact charities can have on people experiencing poverty and why charities do the work that they do. We have also been learning about variation and inheritance in Science, where we chose a Mr Men and Little Miss character and thought about what their offspring may look like.
Only 2 more weeks left at Albany! Swimming is still happening next week - remember your kit please.
Have a great weekend.

Year 5 News
Fri 10 Jul 2026It has been assessment week in school this week and everyone has worked hard on each test. In the afternoons, we have focused on RE, completing our final unit of work for the year. Today, we had Local History Day where each year group has focused on an aspect of local history. In Year 5, we looked at Robin Hood and explored the question, 'Was Robin Hood a hero?' It's great listening to the children put forward their views and have a lively discussion.
As it was test week this week, the spellings will be carried onto next week.

Year 4 News
Fri 10 Jul 2026Well it's been another HOT week! We've still worked hard on writing a diary from King Arthur about the excitement of his coronation following him pulling out the sword from the stone! We're working on sentence structures, vocabulary, spellings and punctuation. In Maths we have completed the Statistics unit and started position and direction. We also went on our Field Study around Stapleford, looking at how different roads can be similar or different depending on the amenities. We have also delved into local history by studying Rolls Royce and how it came to be.
Remember that next week is swimming- children need non baggy swim trunks or a swimming costume, a towel, a cap- this is essential and is a rule set by the provider, sliders/ crocs/ flip flops, a bag to put clothes in.... the other children who have experienced this have LOVED it. We hear the excitement every day!

Fri 10 Jul 2026Year 3 have managed this week incredibly well! They have really taken the opportunity to show off everything they have learned this year in their tests and we are all so proud of how well they have done. They have also had a great week spending time in our on-site swimming pool. We have seen some amazing use of all 5R's from every single one of them. Well done year 3 - 2 weeks to go!
