An exciting competition is taking place across the county. The task is to:
Create a piece of artwork entitled ‘The Bread of Life’.
Encourage your child to think about what the blessed sacrament, the Eucharistic host, means to them and then create a piece of artwork reflecting their thoughts. The artwork needs to be A4 in size and can be created using any medium, including paint, collage or printing. Please label the back of the artwork with your child’s name and year group and return to your class teacher by 9th November.
You are invited to take part in this year’s Young Writer competition, organised by Rotary International in Britain and Ireland. Children at St Adrian’s have enjoyed great success in this competition in the past, with Natalie’s writing getting through to the National finals.
The competition is open to anyone who was aged between 7 and 17 on the 31st August 2018.
To enter the competition, you should produce a written or typed story entitled, ‘My Inspiration.’
Your writing could be fiction or non-fiction, a story or a poem, as long as the piece relates to the theme. Questions have been asked about spelling and although this is not an issue the only advice to be given are that judges of this competition have made comment upon spelling in the past.
An A4 page or up to 500 words is a suggested suitable length.
The closing date for the local St Albans heat is 12th January 2019.
Entries should be sent to the Stage organiser at the address below along with the completed entry form.

On Tuesday, we were treated to a skipping workout from Skip2Bfit. The children really got into and are keen to beat their personal bests for skips in 2 minutes ( so am I after being fit-shamed !)
Science – Earth in Space
The children have been learning about the scale of the Solar System and to reinforce this, we modeled it on the playground. For those interested , the order is : Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Asteroid belt; Jupiter; Saturn; Uranus and Neptune.
Mercy Mass
It was a lovely morning with the children celebrating Mass. The singing was lovely and the children really warmed to Fr Michael. The picnic outside was also very enjoyable.
