Choose Kindness
Black History Month
At St Alban's, we teach our children to be responsible, respectful and active citizens who recognise that differences are interesting and positive and we learn about many cultures, races and religions. In our Catholic school, we teach our children that every human being is special, unique and a child of God. Most schools teach children about Black history month in October and at St Alban's we celebrate this rich and diverse history and culture in October too but learn about the positive impact of black history throughout the year across the curriculum. Enjoy taking a peek at what our children have enjoyed learning about recently! We are looking forward next to our Advent Adventures in Learning when we will look deeper into the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ but also find out more about Sikhism and Buddhism as religions, places of worship, holy objects, key celebrations and compare and contrast this to Christianity.

'How can we save our planet?'
During our immersion week Fountains have been exploring the life of Greta Thunberg in order to write a biography about her life. During an interview for News Round, Greta said “There are always things you can do in your everyday life to get involved and take action for the climate and for the environment, for example you can start to pick up litter outside.” Inspired by Greta Thunberg, we went out with our litter pickers and started to take action!
