We have started a new topic in maths this week so we decided to use the cubes to help us to master division of 3 and 4 digit numbers. We learnt a new method to help us to divide whole numbers and checked our answers using the inverse operation.
Working in pairs and using our sets of cubes helped us to create a range of number sentences. We also challenged some of the incorrect answers that Tiny the Turtle had tried to trick us with. Better luck next time Tiny!
This week we opted not to do a challenge but instead worked together in groups and got very creative!
Our LEGO challenge this week was to create our names on a board. This wasn’t easy as some letter formations took a lot of thought to make them work. We did a fantastic job! We also managed to squeeze in some free play 😀
We are delighted to be supporting the NSPCC by taking part in Number Day on
Friday 7 February 2025.
Everything the NSPCC does protects children today and prevents
abuse tomorrow. The NSPCC need our support more than ever. By raising money, we can help to fund their vital services such as Childline – the helpline that’s always there for children and young people whatever their problem or concern. On average, a child contacts Childline every 45 seconds.
We will be taking part in Dress up for Digits and having a fun day of maths activities. Children are asked to wear an item of clothing with a number on it (football shirt, cap, netball shirt or even a onesie!). Or get even more creative by dressing in a maths or numbers theme, design your own t-shirt, hat, or even become a human sized calculator or dice!
To help raise money for the NSPCC, we are asking for donations, and we’d love everyone in the school to take part in this special event. Please donate via GiftT. You can find the QR code below to help us support the NSPCC.

We’re really looking forward to all the fun of Number Day, and we really appreciate your support. All the money we raise at All Souls will make an enormous difference to children today and help the NSPCC be there for children tomorrow.
Many thanks,
Mrs Hartwell

We have had a fun and foodie-filled morning creating our Festive Rolls! The children designed a menu card detailing the ingredients and the method before we set to work to make our delicious treat.
The children carefully added the ingredients of turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, garlic and cheese and rolled them into their individual Christmas Festive Rolls!
The end results were very impressive and a huge thank you for supporting the children at home to bake the items to perfection! Thank you for sharing the photographs and it was great to hear how much the children enjoyed creating and baking their items.
We hope that the children will be able to show you how to re-use and re-invent any surplus food from your Christmas dinner with their stylish new recipe!
Thank you to everyone who joined us to make this evening’s Carol Service so special.
Thank you so much to all have already donated to our Reverse Advent Calendar – supporting Father Hudson Charity with hygiene products for those in need.
There is still time to donate, if you haven’t yet and would like to. I will be dropping all of our donations over next Thursday (19/12/24) so there is a week left! Please give generously.
A special thank you to Bertie and Sara’s family who have given so generously to our appeal already.
We thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon with our parents and carers by inviting them to join us at our advent prayer service and crafting event. As part of our preparations for Christmas we talked about what our hopes are and if we had one wish for the festive season what it would be. The children hoped for many things ranging from a white Christmas; to hearing less Mariah Carey songs; to hoping to spend more time with friends and family and for loved ones, who are no longer with us, to be able to join them one last time for Christmas dinner. It was lovely to hear so many thoughtful and heart-warming reflections.
The children then spent some time creating a bauble wreath to take home as a reminder of the season of advent. We had some wonderful creations in-spite of the tremendous amount of baubles required for the event!
Most importantly the children spending time with those closest to them and we really hope that you enjoyed the afternoon! Thank you so much for taking the time to join us and for those who were unable to make it; we hope that you will look fondly on your handmade bauble wreath for years to come!

From your cash donations alone on No Pens Day!
Thank you for your kind contributions and for encouraging children to bring in their show and tell which got the whole school talking!
Year 5 have been getting into the Christmas Spirit by learning how to play Jingle Bells, Away in a Manger and Silent Night on the glockenspiel.
The children really enjoyed their weekly session with Mrs Cooke and it was impressive to see them read from sheet music and perform in unison. The children did a wonderful performance that we are very proud to share with you!
Thank you for making us feel so festive Mrs Cooke!
