This week has been our busiest so far this term, so well done to Year 5 for working hard throughout.
We’ve practiced our rapid addition through quick-fire games of snap.
We’ve practiced our orienteering skills – ready to test them outside of school.
Thank you to members of the chaplaincy team for sharing a prayer service on the virtues of Generosity and Love, not just with Year 5 but with each class across the school.
Our newly formed Eco Squad has been hard at work today, searching for ways to reduce energy and waste around the school.
Ask our experts for ways that you can reduce, reuse and recycle.
Year 2 have had a great day of chopping, frying, blending and blitzing to make their very own Stone (Vegetable) Soup. Well done to all children for trying out new skills and having a taste! They’ve all promised to give parents a hand in the kitchen this weekend with their new cooking skills!
Year 2 have borrowed an idea from a favourite book of ours this week. In George’s Marvellous Medicine, George creates a medicine to deal with his terrifying grandmother. Our medicines have been to give super-speed, fire breath or transformation powers depending on the blend each child made.
Children planned out a potion, choosing from exotic ingredients. We estimated how much liquid would fit into our containers, before carefully measuring each ingredient out. We poured, sloshed, dribbled and strained our way through the day before ending up with a delicious array of medicines. Reports back on the taste mentioned “cupcakes”, “popcorn”, “strawberries”, “a sizzling taste” and “fizzing blackcurrant mix”.
After our creations, Year 2 noted down a set of instructions so that should we ever wish to create these amazing concoctions again, we simply have to follow our own recipe.
Well done on a great day Year 2!
Year 2 are having a busy day on Thursday! Children are invited to come into school dressed in pyjamas to help raise money for Cancer Research. Children can wear pyjamas, dressing gowns or onesies in return for bringing in £1 to raise funds.
Parents are also invited into the school through the hall doors at 9.15am to learn a little of the story of Buddhism at the Year 2 class assembly.
Looking forward to seeing you in the morning,
Mr Rolison
A big thank you to Mrs Cooke for ending Year 2’s term of dance with a big party to celebrate.
The children have worked really hard this term and were keen to show off their skills.
Year 2 are taking part in a national competition to grow a monster-sized pumpkin! The RHS was kind enough to send some gigantic seeds down to All Souls’ to be planted this week for the beginning of the competition. They were fully double the size of a regular seed!
The seeds will be carefully monitored, watered and preened over by Year 2 children before being transplanted into larger pots to begin to grow. We expect to see explosive growth in the next couple of weeks (as long as the weather improves – fingers crossed) so stay posted for updates about our pumpkin competitor; name not yet chosen.
This morning Year 2 took part in the KS1 Mousike Ensemble along with several other Coventry primary schools. Children got a chance to show their singing skills and some who have been practising very hard were able to play instruments along with the songs.
Thank you to all of Year 2 for giving this morning your best effort, it was a brilliant showcase of all of your talents.
Today in Year 2 we have considered our favourite uses of the internet. Children discussed what a ‘digital footprint’ was and how people may find out about the things you like.
We have created our own footprint and decorated them by adding known and trusted sites we use.
Year 2 have kickstarted our week of thinking about staying safe online. We began the day by sharing a story about who to turn to for help when you are unhappy about a comment online.
Children replicated an online forum in the classroom and wowed me with their thoughtful comments about each piece of work.
In the afternoon, we began to think about connections we make – both with those around us in person and through the internet. By mapping out the connections within our class we could quickly see how much we have in common with those around us.
