Year 4 News
Fri 10 May 2024This week has been another busy one despite it being a four day week. We have continued to learn about the Vikings attacking the Anglo-Saxons on Lindisfarne and have also studied an Anglo Saxon king, who was buried in his ship with all his important and precious belongings with him, helping us to understand more about what life was like in these times. In Science, the children were extremely excited to make circuits and make bulbs light up and buzzer sound.
Remember to read for Starbook and that it's Freezer Friday every week on a Friday- ice creams and lollies for a pound.

Fri 03 May 2024Year 6 have had another brilliant week this week. As we continue to prepare for SATS, we become increasingly amazed at their resilience and to help us along with this, we have started some 'My Happy Mind' sessions regarding getting our children into a positive head space before their tests arrive. We are so proud of their efforts. Aside from SATs preparations, we have been very busy bettering our dribbling skills in hockey and we have also been using our Spanish work from last week - now speaking in full sentences to explain what our family members are like. We hope the children have a well deserved rest over the bank holiday weekend. We shall see all the children on Tuesday!

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.
