Year 6 Cinema Trip

13th November 2024Mrs J Hartwell

As part of the Into Film Festival, Year 6 will be visiting Odeon Coventry Cinema on Thursday, 28th November to watch the film IF.

This is a wonderful opportunity for the children, designed to enrich their learning experience through film. There is no cost for this trip.

We will be walking to and from the cinema, so please ensure your child is in full school uniform and dressed appropriately for the weather. They should bring their coats, along with hats, scarves, and gloves just in case of cold conditions.

Children may bring their water bottle and one treat (up to a share bag size) such as crisps, popcorn, sweets, or chocolate. Please remember that these should not contain nuts.

We will return to school for lunch, which will be at a later time of approximately 1:30 pm. To make this easier, we have asked that children who usually have a school dinner on this day pre-order a sandwich so that it is ready for their return.

If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch.

Thank you to the school council and Mrs Rae for organising an amazing Monster Ball. The children had a great time.

Beautiful Bookmarks!

11th November 2024Fiona Kirrane

Year 5 have been getting creative in their English writing lesson by publishing a procedural text entitled ‘How to Make an Origami Bookmark’.

The children carefully planned their instructions on how to make their chosen design using lots of imperative verbs and creative flair!  The result was a range of imaginative and thoughtfully designed creations with a set of step-by-step instructions to help any budding origami enthusiasts to create their own at home.

All of the designs were incredibly impressive spanning from jungle animals to Marvel characters, rusty robots and out-of-this-world aliens!

The children had lots of fun exploring their creative skills and learnt a thing or two about procedural texts along the way! Well done Year 5!

 

No Pens Day

11th November 2024Mrs J Hartwell

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.
