On Wednesday morning, four lucky children from KS2 took part in a Panathlon event at the Xcel Centre. They joined up with Eastern Green to make a team of eight and competed in a range of activities including kurling, basketball, and bowling. They all walked away with a medal after finishing in a fantastic 3rd place. Well done to all involved — you represented our school brilliantly!
On Thursday, our Year 5 and 6 football team were back in action — this time with a new group of children taking part. They faced a very strong Earlsdon side, and for several of our players, it was their first ever competitive match!
The team played brilliantly, showing great enthusiasm, teamwork, and developing skills throughout the game. Although the final score didn’t go our way, with a 5–1 loss, we were incredibly proud of how the children conducted themselves and the determination they showed right to the final whistle.
Well done, everyone — a fantastic effort!
On Wednesday, eight children from Year 5 took part in a Values Dodgeball Tournament. In this event, winning wasn’t the main focus — instead, teams earned points for demonstrating respect, honesty, and teamwork throughout their matches.
Although we didn’t come away with a win, the children gave it their all and truly embodied the spirit of the competition. They showed fantastic sportsmanship and represented the school brilliantly — well done, everyone!
Also on Wednesday, nine children from Year 6 took part in an exciting HADO competition, splitting into three teams. HADO is an augmented reality version of dodgeball, combining technology with physical activity — and the children absolutely loved it!
They had a fantastic time learning how to use the AR equipment and bringing their dodgeball skills into a whole new setting. One of our teams even made it through to the final of their group, narrowly missing out on the win after a very close match.
A brilliant experience for all involved — well done, Year 6!
On Tuesday, our Year 5 and 6 football team played in the first round of the Catholic Primary Schools Cup against St Anne’s. The team put in a brilliant performance, showing great teamwork, determination, and skill throughout what was a very tough match.
Their hard work paid off with a fantastic 3–0 victory, securing a well-deserved place in the second round of the cup.
Rudy (Year 6) was named Player of the Match by the opposition
Well done, everyone — a great start to the competition!
Thank you to everyone who joined the Park Run yesterday — our very first as the All Souls Group! It was my first time attending a Park Run, and I was really impressed by how well it was organised. The atmosphere was fantastic, the setup was seamless, and best of all — it’s completely free!
Next week is an exciting one, as the War Memorial Park Run will be celebrating its 200th event! They’re marking the occasion with a special celebration, complete with cakes/sweets for the runners.
It would be wonderful to see even more of our All Souls runners taking part next week and joining in the festivities.
Yesterday, our Year 5 and 6 football team played their first game of the season against last year’s winners, St Thomas More. It was an incredible match from start to finish, with both sides creating plenty of exciting chances.
Flynn made played in goal for the very first time and pulled off some superb saves throughout the game. The first half ended goalless, but shortly after the break, we took the lead with a fantastic team goal finished by Seth.
We continued to create several good chances but were unfortunate not to convert any of them. St Thomas More responded strongly, finding their rhythm and scoring three well-taken goals of their own.
With just three minutes remaining, Parker produced a delightful little chip to bring us back to 3–2. Despite some late pressure, we couldn’t quite find the equaliser before the final whistle.
It was an exceptional game from both teams and a brilliant start to the season. Player of the Match, as chosen by the opposing team, was Finlay (Year 5) — well done, Finlay!
A huge thank you to Parker’s mum for sharing the match videos below.
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.
