Thank you to the school council and Mrs Rae for organising an amazing Monster Ball. The children had a great time.
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.
We have been learning all about instruction writing. Today, we learnt the importance in clear instructions. We made jam sandwiches ready to write our own instructions, next week.
Year 2 would like to thank the PTA for our new books. We took one of our new class readers to forest school to enjoy with a hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows.
The Battle is well and truly underway between our house groups on
Times Tables Rockstars!
Although this has been set as homework for Key Stage 2 children, children in Key Stage 1 are also more than welcome to join in. This is a house group effort and all those who have contributed to the winning team’s score will receive extra play time after the competition has closed.

Today, Year 2 learnt all about the Gunpowder Plot. We did a puppet show to show what we had learnt.
