Year 3 Update
Fri 11 Dec 2020This week, Year 3 have been starting to learn about India as part of our Asia topic. We have been looking at the physical and human features across 3 different cities and have been comparing them. Ask your child if they can remember which cities we have been looking at! In Maths, we are still looking at Multiplication and Division but have been really focussing on the 8x table. Please keep practising this at home! We are so impressed with how hard the children are working even with the two naughty elves causing some distractions!!

Year 4 Update
Fri 11 Dec 2020In English lessons this week, we found out what it might be like to visit South Africa before writing a diary entry, explaining what a day of our holiday might be like. Some of us wanted to reach the summit of Table Mountain while others wanted to see the African penguins or the the 'big 5' animals.
In Science, we discovered the effects that the liquids had on the egg shells (our enamel). Vinegar caused the most damage with orange juice and coke causing a little bit less. Lots of super posters were created too with advice and top tips for how to look after our teeth.

Disability Awareness Bows - THANK YOU!
Fri 04 Dec 2020Just want to say a massive thank you to all of the children who have helped me by colouring in and decorating the awareness bows. Lloyds Bank in Beeston have displayed these ALL OVER their bank, and they look amazing! It has really helped them to raise awareness for their fundraising for many different charities that help those with disabilities. You all worked very hard and there were some very thoughtful submissions. Here are some pictures of the displays. Well done Albany for all pulling together to help out for this wonderful cause - I knew I could rely on you!

Year 3 Update
Fri 04 Dec 2020What a week for Year 3. Tests, tests and more tests! Well done to the children for their really excellent behaviour and their resilience. We have been looking at a unit of RE all about how different religions use light. The naughty elf has also been up to mischief and even tried to tell the children the answers to the spelling test. I think we all deserve a good rest this weekend.

Year 6 Update
Fri 04 Dec 2020This week, year 6 have taken part in their assessment week. It has been a week full of expectation of showcasing our 5rs. The children have been impeccably behaved throughout the week and have shown plenty of resilience, taken many risks and taken responsibility for their own learning. We are extremely proud in the way they have conducted themselves throughout the week, also being respectful towards other year groups undertaking the same tasks.

Year 4 Update
Fri 04 Dec 2020We have been really impressed this week with the attitude and effort shown by everyone during their tests this week. It has been brilliant to see the progress children are making. In Science, we have been investigating which drinks are good for our teeth and which ones could cause decay. We used litmus paper, to test the acidity of a range of drinks as acid causes damage to our teeth. The children were amazed that the bacteria in plaque reacts with sugar to create acid. We have set up an experiment using eggs, to see which liquids damage our enamel. We can't wait to find out the results next week!

5M Update
Fri 04 Dec 2020This week, 5M have been working hard to show how much they have learned during the term in their assessments- they should all be very proud. As well as this, we found out about foods eaten in the Indus Valley and the children crafted their own beads out of clay. They are ready to paint next week. In Science, we are now having fun testing out Newton metres and carrying out investigations.

5M Update
Fri 27 Nov 2020In 5M this week, we found out about the archaeologists, who discovered the Indus Valley. In Maths, the focus is now very much on knowing our times tables as we have been finding out about multiples and factors of numbers, prime and composite numbers and squared and cubed numbers. Considering ways in which writer’s can make their work more descriptive and to hook a reader was the target in English when we watched the film clip ‘Alma’. Oh, and 5M’s class elf arrived slightly early but he has to Elf Isolate… this didn’t stop him helping himself to Mrs Limb’s mince pies!!!!

5W Update
Fri 27 Nov 2020As part of World Children’s day on 20th November, Ben and Chloe, 5W’s Albany ambassadors, prepared and taught a lesson about refugees and about how to raise issues through letter writing. Ben and Chloe helped other children with their work and answered lots of questions. Well done! Mr Robertson and Mrs Goffin have been impressed by 5W’s independent writing this week and the children have been very creative in their descriptions of weather to create the mood of a story.
