At St. Alban's school we are so lucky to have excellent volunteers that come into school when needed. Recently we embarked on a Comenius cookery fortnight where all children had the opportunity to cook recipes from Turkey and Finland. This was a roaring success, with children tasting foods they never imagined they would. Thank you for all of your help! The recipe books are still available to buy at £2 from Mrs Reynolds.

Our Nursery and Reception classes performed their Christmas Nativity today and were spectacular. Not a dry eye in the house!

Nursery children have been looking at different types of weather. They agree that the windy weather helps on washing day! For more photographs visit the gallery

Nursery have been learning about the weather. We had fun finding out how many children we could fit under 1 umbrella.

In Nursery the children have been learning about lots of different types of weather. We have talked very cold weather. Here we are exploring ice.

Well done to all Nursery and Reception children who performed so well during their Nativity play.
The acting and costumes were siperb!

Year Nursery, Year Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are all putting the finishing touches to their Nativity plays. We can hardly wait to see them!

Nursery children relaxing and enjoying snack in our new Snack Cafe.

We have been investigating different textures. We looked at a range of baby toys and discussed how they felt. We discovered lots of new words and sounds!

Our Nursery age children were very good at finding hard and soft things in our classroom.

Playing with our parachute is lots of fun! It halps us to develop our co-ordination, our spatial awareness and our teamwork skills.

Year R are visiting Bill Quay Farm on Tuesday 18th March.
Year 2 are visiting Whitehouse Farm on Tuesday 18th March.
We hope you have a great time and we can't wait to hear about what you did and saw.

It is lovely to be able to grow our own plants. We have planted some peas, so when they grow we can eat them for our tea!
We planted some sunflower seeds to go in our outside area. We hope they are going to grow very tall!

Our Reception age children enjoyed planting some primroses to make our outside area look cheerful.

We have been investigating tall and short items. We made towers taller and shorter than our toys.

In our Foundation Stage, we like to write and draw. Our Nursery age children have enjoyed drawing pictures linked to the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

Our yard and garden areas are an extension of our classroom and we carry out lots of activities there. As our current topic is 'Down On The Farm', we worked as a team to make farm pictures using natural materials.

Can you tell what it is yet?

To celebrate Chinese New Year, we made animal masks. We enjoyed colouring them in and developed our cutting skills.

What do you mean 'it's an improvement'?

Our Reception age children have been working for the last few weeks with Miss Forrest as part of the Young Enterprise scheme.We have enjoyed doing jobs in our special work books.

Miss Forrest presented us with certificates to show how hard we have worked. We are very proud of them!

We have had lovely visits to the Farm, the sun shone and the animals were friendly.

Peter showed us around and told us about how how we care for the animals. It was great fun feeding the different animals (although they had very rough tongues!)
