This week Year One have enjoyed taking their learning outside.
We have been learning about pairs and how to count in 2’s.
We loved seeing how far we could count up in 2’s – some of us made it all the way to 146!
On Wednesday our Y3/4 and Y5/6 girls football teams took part in our first sports competition of the year. To start each team played 4 group games, they both played fantastically and managed to progress to the quarter finals.
Unfortunately, the Y3/4 team played against a very strong Templars side who beat them 3 – 0. Reaching the quarter finals is a great achievement for the girls as for all but one of them it was their first experience of playing in a competitive football match. Well done girls.
The Y5/6 team managed to get to the final beating Allesley and St Thomas More in the quarter finals and semi-finals respectively. The final was against Moseley and was an extremely close game. It ended 0 – 0 after full time so went to golden goal extra time. After some great play and tenacious tackling from the girls Josie from Year 6 hit a ferocious shot and scored the winning goal. Great performance from everyone and superb start to our sporting year.
Congratulations to our Y5/6 Athletics team who finished 1st in the first round of the Sportshall Athletics Competition. They had to compete in a mixture of track and field events from over under running races to the standing triple jump. They all performed wonderfully and are looking forward to taking part in the next round later in the year.
The Year 5/6 football team played their first game in the Catholic League yesterday against St Mary’s and St Benedict’s.
It was a terrific game from start to finish with both teams creating plenty of chances. However, the team were really up for this game and battled their way through the first half leading 1 – 0 at the break. This was thanks to a fantastic team goal that was finally finished off by Kai but also due to two very good saves from Pierce.
In the second half the team carried on battling throughout the game and no matter how hard St Mary’s and St Benedict’s tried either our defence or Pierce in Goal kept them out. This allowed us to break forward and score two more goals, one from Harry and another from Kai.
Well played everyone and a well deserved victory.
Player of the Match: Pierce (Y6)
Yesterday the Year 5/6 football team played their first game of the season against Christ the King School.
Everyone started the game in great spirits and either team could have taken the lead however it was Christ the King who struck first as they pounced on a mistake and finished well. The second goal came shortly after, this time it was a wonderful goal from Christ the Kings midfielder.
The game then could have swung back in our favor as we created a host of good chances, unfortunately though they scored a third goal on the break and that is how the game ended.
A super game from everyone and a performance we can be proud of. Well played boys!
Player of the Match: Harry (Y5)
On Thursday 12 children from Year 4 – 6 took part in the Catholic Cross Country Relays. The girls, who were all Year 4 children, ran first and finished in a very respectable 7th place. The boys, who had an ‘A’ and a ‘B’ team running, finished in 5th place in the ‘A’ race and 3rd place in the ‘B’ race. Well done to everyone who took part.
The Year 5/6 football team played their final league game of the season yesterday against St Mary and St Benedict’s School. Yet again the weather wasn’t very kind to us as it poured down from start to finish. This didn’t affect the players though as they put in a very good hard fought performance. Unfortunately though St Mary and St Benedict’s, who only need one more victory to finish league winners, were slightly to strong for us and came away with a deserved victory. This however was one of the best performances of the season, hopefully they will be able to carry this form into the upcoming rally later next month.
Well played everyone who competed in the season and good luck in the rally.
Yesterday over 20 children from Year 4,5, and 6 took part in the annual Coventry Catholic Schools Cross Country Competition.
The girls raced first and finished in 5th place overall with Josie and Bridget crossing the line first for All Souls in 11th and 15th place respectively.
The boys raced next and finished two places better in 3rd. Lorcan and Kai led the way this time finishing in 5th and 7th.
All the children ran superbly especially as they ran on the hottest day of the year so far. I will put a full results table on the website as soon as I receive it.
Due to a waterlogged pitch the scheduled match against Wyken Croft School tomorrow has been cancelled. We did try to rearrange the fixture to play it at their school however they have the same problem. The game will hopefully take place later this month. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

Yesterday 10 children from Year 1 and 2 took part in the School Games KS1 Gymnastics Competition at Tribe. This is the first year we have taken part in this competition and was a great experience for the children.
Over the last 3 or 4 weeks they have been practicing 2 routines, 1 floor and 1 vault. This dedication really paid off as the school finished in 2nd place overall with 112.3 points.
The children were a credit to the school, performing and behaving fantastically. Well done everyone.
Thank you to all the parents that managed to get their children here early on Friday mornings to practice, it was a huge help. As the children enjoyed the club we are hoping to add it to our list of clubs shortly.
I have added a few pictures below and a video of each child’s vault routine.
