This past Thursday, Year 4 took an extremely rainy visit to Coombe Abbey for a day of studying rivers and pond dipping.
We enjoyed seeing the river in full force and caught some rare creatures during pond dipping, including a great crested newt!
On Tuesday 30th January 12 children from Year 4 took part in the Speed Stacking County Finals. Competing against 15 other schools from across Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull they managed to finish in an incredible 4th position missing out on a medal by just a couple of points. A special mention to Jakob as he recorded the fastest score from any school, completing the 3-6-3 stack in just 5.5 seconds. Well done everyone you were amazing!
This week was National Storytelling Week, an annual event organised by the National Literacy Trust.
This fantastic annual event is a joyful celebration of the power of sharing stories. Stories teach us about the world, they allow us to step into someone else’s shoes and feel empathy, they help us to relax and escape and they can help develop essential literacy skills.
To celebrate and acknowledge the week the children of All Souls’ embraced storytelling by visiting other year groups to share stories and read to each other.
Year 6 visited Reception to read to their Prayer Friends:
Year 5 shared stories with Year 1:
Year 4 spent time in Year 2 reading and telling stories to each other:
Year 2 were also very lucky to have Lilah and Macie from Year 6 visit them as VIP readers on Friday afternoon.
Everyone had such a lovely week telling stories and spending time with others from across school, we hope it has encouraged the children to share stories with those at home!
Wishing all of our children and families a very
‘Happy New Year!’
May our Lord fulfil all your new year wishes and keep you and your family healthy and happy.

Year 3 and 4 had a great day at the Cotswold Wildlife Park. Year 3 were focusing on what animals live in different climates and where in the World they live. Year 4 were focusing on prey and predators. We all had a great day but we’re very tired by the end of the day.
During this week, Year 4 have been learning about how food moves through our bodies and digestion occurs.
We had a chance to model this process outside of our bodies using biscuits, orange juice and lots of smushing. Ask your child what the tights were for at the end of the digestion!
