A huge thank you to those who have already donated so generously to our walk against hunger campaign that we completed during the days of Lent. Just a reminder that these donations will be sent next week so please send in what you can.
The children walked over 200km around our playground over the 4 weeks of Lent and spent time reflecting on their own relationship with God as well as gaining a sense of empathy for those in our global community who must walk over 5km a day just to get food and water. Some classes took the challenge to the next level and walked barefoot! A beautiful testament to the lives of others.
Thank you in advance for supporting your children who undertook this wonderful challenge in aid of CAFOD.
Easter is the greatest and the most important feast in the Church. Today is a day of joy and celebration for Lent is over and we welcome Easter with happy and humble hearts. It marks the birth of our eternal hope. Jesus gave up His life for us, and from the grave He was raised to life again on the third day. New life rises from the ashes of death.
Today we are celebrating Christ’s victory over all burdens, the gift of eternal life for all who believe in Jesus. Every day, we are now given the chance to rise from the ashes of sin and guilt and can be refreshed and renewed. Remembering that Jesus still loves us and will continue to give us the strength we need.
The main and most important message of Easter is that nothing can harm us – not pain, sin, rejection, betrayal or death – because through believing in Christ we believe that he conquered all these, and we too, can conquer them if we continue to put our faith and trust in Him.
Lord, help me to remember your sacrifice and Resurrection. Help me to let you transform every cross, hardship, worry and burden in my life into joy. Lord, may your joy fill my life and be my strength in all things. Jesus, I trust in you. Amen
May God keep you and your families in his hands throughout this Eastertide. Wishing you a happy and safe Easter, love all the staff at All Souls’ xx
On Friday 1st April, children in Years 1-6 will compete in house groups to win our SPaG quiz, hosted by the Junior Leadership Team.
All children are invited to come into school wearing coloured clothing and/or accessories to represent their house group. They should have come home today wearing a reminder sticker of their house group and colour.
Thank you for your support.
This Wednesday, we have all enjoyed a day full of Science in celebration of British Science Week. This year’s theme has been “Growth”.
Each class has had a chance to try out a range of scientific activities around the school.
In the Year 3 classroom (and outside) children have created and tested penguin nests to protect eggs from wind, rain and predators and allow them to grow into the next generation.
Some nests were more successful than others:
In Year 5, children mixed a specific set of ingredients to create slime and observe how it grows when it stretches.
In Year 4, children observed how different animals grow and adapt in response to their surroundings. We drew our careful observations and classified the animals based on their specific features.
In Year 6, minds were boggled as lines and objects appeared to grow all by themselves as children discovered different optical illusions.
Which line do you think is the longest?
(They’re all the same size!)
In Year 2, children tested out chemical reactions and measured how much balloons grew as a result of created gas. Which gas is made when bicarbonate of soda and vinegar are mixed?
Year 1 have been studying our neighbouring planet – Mars. Children have thought about how an animal may grow if it was living with Mars-like conditions of gravity, oxygen and weather.
Children also worked to create structures of how humans might develop and grow bases on Mars.
Finally, a big thank you to parents and children for some fantastic scientist costumes on display!
We will be celebrating British Science Week from the 14th – 18th March 2022.
British Science Week is a ten-day celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths. The theme this year is ‘Growth’.
To celebrate, throughout the week, we will be doing lots of exploration around the theme of growth and the Science all around us which will involve a whole school carousel of investigations and maybe even some animals to meet.
On Wednesday 16th March, we are inviting children to come into school dressed as a famous or crazy Scientist for a £1 donation to go towards our Science curriculum.
Keep an eye on the blog during the week to find out what we get up to!

Today, we start our Lenten journey once more. During this season of Lent, we are called to make a change in our daily lives as we prepare for Easter, We began this by sharing in a whole school mass for Ash Wednesday.
Tomorrow, Years 3,4,5 and 6 are off to the Belgrade Theatre to watch Billionaire Boy
live on stage!
Here are a few reminders:
Wear full All Souls tracksuit, appropriate footwear and a waterproof coat (with hood or a hat) as it is forecast to be rather wet and windy
Bring a water bottle and one treat/snack for the interval
Bring a packed lunch to school to eat on return as we are due back later than lunchtime
