Thank you to the school council and Mrs Rae for organising an amazing Monster Ball. The children had a great time.
Year 5 have been getting creative in their English writing lesson by publishing a procedural text entitled ‘How to Make an Origami Bookmark’.
The children carefully planned their instructions on how to make their chosen design using lots of imperative verbs and creative flair! The result was a range of imaginative and thoughtfully designed creations with a set of step-by-step instructions to help any budding origami enthusiasts to create their own at home.
All of the designs were incredibly impressive spanning from jungle animals to Marvel characters, rusty robots and out-of-this-world aliens!
The children had lots of fun exploring their creative skills and learnt a thing or two about procedural texts along the way! Well done Year 5!
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.
The Battle is well and truly underway between our house groups on

On Wednesday 9 children from Years 5 and 6 took part in a Hado Tournament. Hado is a new virtual AR sport that is similar to dodgeball. The children were split into 3 teams and competed against 5 other schools during the afternoon. All the children represented the school brilliantly showing great sportsmanship and respect throughout the day. One of the teams (George, Fintan and Lauren) were so good they won the competition meaning they will return in the champion of champions final later in the year. Well done everyone.
The video below was created by James (Y5) during computer club using Canva.
The children in Key Stage 2 were lucky enough to enjoy a visit from Vicki and Tenisha from Be Internet Legends by Google to teach them all about how to become Internet Legends!
The interactive event taught us to be safer, more confident online explorers, whilst having fun along the way! The skills and behaviours we learnt will help us to navigate our online lives – helping us to learn to be Sharp, Alert, Secure, Kind and Brave.
Here is the game they mentioned you can play at home: https://beinternetawesome.withgoogle.com/en_uk/interland
We want to say a big thank you to our PTA. We now have a set of class reader books for each class which will make sure a range of books are read to the children over their time at All Souls. We will be hosting a book fair in the new year and following this, we hope to be able to add to the Nursery, Reception and Year 1 class reader sets .
