On Friday 1st October 2021 we will be supporting the CAFOD family fast day.
We are asking the children to come in any green clothes they have, fancy dress welcomed, to show our support for the CAFOD appeal.
World leaders are meeting in Glasgow this November for a crucial meeting about the climate crisis and the future of our planet and its people. The Go Green appeal encourages Catholic schools around England and Wales to unite and fundraise to support communities around the world who are protecting the planet.
We are asking for a donation of non-perishable food for our local food bank and a donation to the CAFOD appeal (a suggested donation of £1 per family).
The Coventry food bank urgently need:
-biscuits
-chocolate
-UHT long life milk
-packets of mash
-snacks e.g. cereal bars and crisps
-tinned fruit
-tinned potatoes
-coffee
Thank you in advance for your support.
Year 3 had a very busy day at the Heights of Abraham. We ventured to Matlock, Derby today. A big thank you to Mr. Cooke, Mrs. Rae, and Mr. Youson for driving. We took a cable car up to the top, with spectacular views. Lots of the children and adults had to overcome a fear of heights and be brave (101 pledge – Overcome a fear- check).
Once at the top, Year 3 had the opportunity to look and hear about different types of rock. We were extremely lucky and they gave us a crystal to take back to school.
Next, we made our way to the fossil factory. In the Fossil Factory Exhibition, we learnt about life millions of years ago and came face to face with a dinosaur fossil.
Then, we went down into The Great Masson Cavern. We heard about the cavern’s 300 million-year-old history and saw the cavern in the glow of a single candle to the whole chamber being flooded with light.
We all had a very exciting day and will sleep well tonight. Year 3 represented All Souls’ fantastically and serval members of the public commented on their behaviour and manners.
Our School Trip to Coombe Abbey!
On Monday, Year 3 had a great time at Coombe shelter building, despite the weather. They worked extremely hard, as a team and produced brilliant shelters.
World Book Day 2021
We celebrated World Book Day 2021 altogether but all in different locations.
Today marks the beginning of our Lenten journey. Next week, when we are back to learning, we will be having daily reflections about this special season which will be accessed through Google Classroom. Please find below a copy of the Lenten calendar from Walk with Me, do your best at home to live out some of these daily challenges.
Lent is a time of repentance, fasting and preparation for the coming of Easter. It is a time of reflection where we reflect on who we are and the people we aspire to be. Today and in the coming weeks, we aim to focus on our relationship with God, often through choosing to give up something or to volunteer and give of ourselves for others. As we think about these promises, let us think of making a true sacrifice as an individual or as a family to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.
This special time marks the beginning and the end. We came from love, we live in love, we return to love. May our Lenten journey as our All Souls’ family be a sharing of this love with all creation by opening our hearts to Him in trust. May our Lenten promise focus on creating in us quiet places where God can refresh and heal us, and we can come and rest awhile.
May we remember that ‘we are dust and to dust we shall return.’
Happy New Year, Year 3!
I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas and have enjoyed your time off. Wish we were together but I can’t wait to hear about all you have been up to very soon. Please work hard for everyone at home and I will speak to you all very soon.
Work has been added to your Google Classroom if you need anything I am just an email away.
Look forward to seeing all your hard work.

A massive thank you for all of your kind donations for the local care homes. We were completely blown away by the sheer amount of treats from all of you, as were the care homes. All of the hampers were dropped off, with the letters and cards, on Friday and every single care home asked us to pass our thanks on. Due to your generosity, we have made someone’s Christmas a little brighter.
Thank you!
Our Christmas cards and letters have been written ready to send to 6 of our local care homes. We are hoping to put together a little hamper for each care home to give them a special gift and hopefully bring a smile to a face or two but we need your help to do that.
Whether it is a box of mince pies, packet of biscuits, some chocolate treats, shower gel or other toiletries, anything you can donate would be gratefully received to send to these care homes.
Please send any donations in with your children on Friday (11th December) so we can deliver them to the care homes in time for Christmas.
Many Thanks in advance for your support x
