Olympic Rings
St Albans School made their own Olympic Ring display, as a sign of unity. The children came to school dressed in their house colours and the staff came wearing black to make up the fifth ring. The Olympic Rings represent the five inhabited continents of the world that are united through the Olympics.

House Mufti - Monday
This Monday (15th August) the children have been asked to come to school wearing clothes in their house colours. The staff are going to be wearing black and we are hoping, weather permitting, to make the Olympic rings over at English Park.

Michael Phelps is an amazing swimmer and the most successful athlete in Olympic history. Today we watched this clip to see just a small part of the training he does! Is there a future Olympian amongst us....
