Our term dates for the academic year 2016-2017 are now available here.
Please be aware that there are some differences between the All Souls term dates for 2016-17 and the standard Coventry Local Authority term dates – particularly around the Christmas holidays.
Please remember that World Book Day takes place on Thursday, 3rd March, 2016. Your child may attend school dressed as his/her favourite book character. For this privilege, the children will be asked to donate one pound and the money raised will be used towards helping to refurbish our school library.
The joys and benefits of reading are enormous and we, in school, hope to continue to encourage and enthuse your child with a love for reading that will last well beyond World Book Day.
We look forward to seeing the children dressed in their costumes on Thursday!
It’s that time of year again! All preparations are up and running for our St Patrick’s Day Coffee Morning, Thursday 17th March, 9.15am.
All are welcome to join what is always a fabulous event! For £2.50 entry, you will be served tea/coffee and cakes by our Y5 Maitre d’s, whilst enjoying entertainment from our school choir, guitarists, recorders, Mary McHugh’s Irish dancers and Tony Clothier’s band ‘Delaney’s Angels’.
If you’re looking to make the morning extra Irish, feel free to purchase Irish coffees too (priced at £2).
Our parents are always so generous and supportive and we are asking you if you could kindly donate any prizes for raffle (cakes, alcohol, unwanted gifts in new/good condition) or any larger donations for our auction (spa breaks, sports event tickets, restaurant vouchers etc).
For parents of Y5, please return the permission slip- indicating whether or not your child is able to serve tea and coffee- as soon as possible. If you require another letter, please collect one from the school office.
All proceeds from the day will be supporting the school fund and we greatly appreciate any donations.
Thank you!
Miss Quinn.
For this half term Year 2 will have outdoor P.E. and need to ensure they have their All Souls’ tracksuits and trainers. P.E. is on a Thursday and a Friday afternoon.
Thank you
