Today we had lots of fun at Farmer Ted’s. We started off in the climb and slide where we had lots of fun going down very big slides in the indoor play area. We then went to meet the Guinea Pigs. We were allowed to stroke them and look at their different patterns. We then went on the tractor ride around Farmer Ted’s. Pony grooming was next and the children helped to groom a pony and a miniature Shetland pony. We then had lunch and a lolly-ice before having lots of fun in the outdoor play area. The children were able to play on the climbing frame, the go-carts and the sand pit. We then went to watch the Ferret racing where we had to cheer for the ferrets and see who won. We then went and looked at all the farm animals. There were lots of animals such as cows, sheep, horses, llamas, rabbits, chicks, pigs, reindeer and much more.
After that we went to see the reptiles and mini beasts where the children had the opportunity to stroke lizards, bearded dragons, snakes and even cockroaches!
The children then played on the outdoor climbing frame and zip wire which was lots of fun. The milking demonstration was next and the children got to see Edna the cow be milked. After that we played on the swings and the mini tractors before heading back to school.
We have had such a busy day. The children were fantastic on our school trip. They followed instructions and listened to all the farmers who told us some information about the animals.
I hope the children enjoyed it.

St Albert’s New Mission!

All of the children, from Reception through to Year 6 have added to this wonderful piece of artwork which proudly sits in our entrance foyer. The image represents that of a child holding the hand of Jesus and walking with him, reflecting our new, St Albert’s Mission Statement of:

‘Walking together with Jesus to love, learn and serve.’

We are very proud of the hard work that the children have put in to create such a beautiful piece of art. Please feel free to pop into the entrance foyer and take a look for yourselves!

Maths Firefighter Visit!

Year 6 welcomed local firefighter Ged into St Albert’s. Ged gave the children a fascinating insight into what life is like as a firefighter and how important maths is in his job. From calculating how much water a fire engine can contain through using volume formula to calculating how many minutes firefighter’s breathing apparatus can last in a burning building we all realised how crucial maths is in this profession. The children also asked other maths based questions about temperature and even how much money Ged earns in a year!

Needless to say the children in Year 6 were inspired by the visit and we look forward to continuing to build our relationship with the local fire service department.

Shakespeare Week

Shakespeare Week

Once again Shakespeare week has been a huge success! The week began with Shakespeare coming into school to talk to every class about his life. Then on Tuesday we had a visit from a theatre group who performed ‘The Tempest’ for the whole school. Each has focused on their own Shakespeare play so please talk to your child to see what interesting things they have learnt this week.
