The Gateshead Athletics Festival
Here is our Athletics Team just before leaving for Gateshead Stadium. We look very professional in our school tracksuits!
Here we are at the opening of the Athletics Festival. We waved our 'Life to the Full' banner with pride. All the children who took part had a fantastic time and competed against children from over 40 Gateshead schools. It may have rained but we never stopped smiling. There was sprinting, skipping, long distance running, throwing, jumping and lots of cheering as we gave it our all.
Miss Robinson and Miss McVittie also had a great day and felt very proud of the children. Well done Team St. Alban's!

Islam Week
This week in RE we are learning about Islam. Today, we were visited by Nasim Ali who told us all about her faith.
We have found out about Muslim traditions and cultures, how Muslims pray and what Muslims believe in. The children had lots of questions to ask Nasim and found today very interesting.
