Year 1 had fun whilst working together to understand respect. Looking at how different scenarios make others and themselves feel. #RESPECT
No Pens Day!
We are taking part in No Pens Day! On Wednesday 27th November, All Souls is excited to be joining many other schools around the UK for a chatty day of fun and fundraising. This is where we need your help!
As part of No Pens Day, we are asking each pupil to bring an item of their choosing and tell their peers about it as part of the biggest-ever show and tell! This will give your child a chance to practise their communication skills, listen and talk to others in their class about something that matters to them. Here are some ideas to help your child prepare
- Point out some topics to help children connect with what they could talk about. For example: “You know a lot about space. Perhaps you could do a space-themed show and tell?”
- Examples – Give your children lots of ideas for what they might like to bring in or talk about. An object from home, a photograph or a favourite outfit! This could be about imaginary ideas as well. Perhaps they’d like to draw a picture to show – or chat about a favourite character, unicorn or sea monster.
- Name some people or places your children could tell the class about. For older children this could be someone inspirational they’ve learnt about at school. Their object could be a figure, a book, a postcard or a map.
-
We are also asking each pupil to bring in £1 for the children’s charity Speech and Language UK. These vital funds will help raise awareness about the 1 in 5 children in the UK with speech and language challenges. You can either give £1 to your child to bring in or click here to make a donation online. (Don’t forget to write our school in the donation message!) You can also donate by scanning this QR code:
Together, we can give every child struggling with talking and understanding words the skills they need to face the future with confidence.
Thank you for your continued support.
The children in Year 6 proudly represented our school in Coventry’s Remembrance Service today.
Well done to Grace, Joachim and Anaiya who read their poem in front of the cenotaph beautifully, loud and clear.
Thank you to everyone who came along to support our Commitment Mass on Sunday. It was wonderful to see so many of our children and families, along with our parish, reverently make their intention and commitment before God to continue their spiritual journey.
Please see below a copy of the information leaflet regarding the Sacrament of Confirmation 2025 that children should have brought home with them. This year, Father Paul has streamlined the process of distributing and submitting forms. Application forms can be collected from the sacristy at Mass. Completed application forms should be returned to Father Paul at Mass before Friday 1st November 2024. Should you need to contact Father Paul, please email: [email protected]
Unfortunately, we do not yet have a date for Confirmation and whilst we understand that this is difficult for those of you who may wish to invite family from overseas or if the children have someone in mind for their sponsor that may need a little more notice, this date is at the discretion of the Bishop and all we can do is wait for a date to be allocated. Please rest assured that once we know we will of course let you know.
Thank you to all the children who brightened our classroom today with their colourful clothes and for all the generous donations of food items to be shared amongst those in need.
In RE this week, Year 6 were tasked with showing their understanding of the Biblical story of Cain and Abel by retelling the story and its important messages to their prayer friends.
The children in Year 6 worked hard to do this in a way that made sense to their prayer friends and left them with some very important messages to go forth with which Reception were able to articulate very well!
Well done, Year 6 and Reception!
What a super start to Year 1!
We had a lovely time reading and recalling the story;
The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister.
In Math’s learning, the children have enjoyed exploring and using the resources to help them with counting out quantities accurately and also to represent given numbers.
Year 1 joined in well with a virtual ‘Relaxation Session’ with the School Nursing Team
Lots of fun in Geography recreating our journey to school using the construction resources to help create the buildings we pass.
We are officially working towards our Live Simply Award!
We are very proud to be working on this journey together and look forwards to joining with our parish community and all our families to achieve this award together.
