• Year 6 virtual poet visit

  Thu 29 Apr 2021

  Year 6 had a virtual visit from the St Albans poet in residence, Dan Simpson. He helped us create witty, interesting and creative poetry all about ourselves and then about  St Albans cathedral. These poems about the cathedral focused on personification and characterisation of the abbey. It led to some very interesting descriptions. We won't be seeing the cathedral the same way again!

• Remembering Prince Philip

  Fri 16 Apr 2021

  In our classes this week we have talked about the recent death of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Today we came together in our virtual assembly to think about the values he held dear and the lessons we can learn from him. We talked about his role as consort to the monarch and about his place in British history. We dressed in red, white and blue today, the colours of the Union Jack flag ahead of the funeral which will take place tomorrow.
