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
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.
A huge congratulations to the ‘all star’ cast of the Twinkly Nativity who provided audiences with 2 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ performances of their nativity performances!
We are so proud of the children in Year 1 and 2 for their nativity performances, they were all shining stars! It was a pleasure to see the children’s confidence grow from first run through to the final performances. They worked hard to learn the Makaton signs to accompany the songs throughout the play. We spoke about those that use Makaton and how this benefits their lives.
Well done Year 1 and Year 2!
The children walked beautifully ALL the way to the Skydome.
We stopped off for lunch just before the film. The children were very well behaved and were complemented by the Skydome staff on their tidying up after lunch and lining up in the corridors.
We all loved the film and all super stars during the film too!
Coventry Compass provided All Souls with an assembly and activities to support a better understanding around emotions and how they might feel and look for different people. That all emotions and feelings are ok as long as we recognise them and know how to manage them. The message was that we all go through a range of emotions each day and manage these really well.
The children enjoyed making ’emotion frieze frames’ and their partners had to guess how they were feeling. This was a great way to reinforce that feelings may look similar but feel different.
‘Gerald the giraffe’ thoroughly enjoyed supporting the children in writing their character descriptions. He is a very shy and clumsy giraffe called Gerald from the book Giraffes can’t Dance by Giles Andreae.
They wrote their character descriptions and published them onto fancy paper with additional giraffe body parts to enhance them further! Year 6 really enjoyed sharing and really made the Year 2 children feel proud of their work. Great job All Souls children!
Year 2 really enjoyed all of the activities celebrating our class Saint.
They sang St Francis’ prayer together, wrote prayers with a nature theme, built churches, made bird feeders and created art in nature – Andy Goldsworthy style.
The children enjoyed leading a prayer service to bless animals and their own pets and sharing their own personal prayers.
We loved our virtual author visit from the hilarious Maz Evans today, author of ‘Who Let The Gods Out’.
She gave us a sneaky peek at her new book ‘Oh Maya Gods’
and told us all about the writing process, how editing is arguably one of the most important parts!
Thank you for the inspiration (and the giggles!) Maz.
Year 6 welcomed another ‘VIP Reader‘ into our classroom this week… Roisin McCourt from Free Radio and it is fair to say the children (and adults!) LOVED it!
Roisin chose to read us her children’s favourite book, ‘The Smartest Giant in Town’, talked to us about her role on the radio, shared some of this week’s favourite moments and answered the (1,000,001) questions we threw her way.
Thank you, Roisin!
