Things to do over Half Term...

 

 

 The Book Fair returns to Holy Souls School, straight after half term.  As usual, you will have the opportunity to visit the fair every evening after school with your parents, for a week.  This is a great way to increase your reading skills and a super fundraiser for the school community.

Mrs Kielstra has set us a challenge, details of which have also been sent home.

Do you have any books at home that you no longer want and would like to donate to the school?  Consider which year group it would be appropriate for.

FINALLY -

We have been set a Christmas Card Challenge to design your own unique Christmas Card.  We have sent you home with posters with the details and challenge  you to design a Christmas Card.  All entries need to be returned so that Mrs Girling can send them off to The Father Hudson's Society

 

 

 

 

Well done Everyone!

Well done Year 6 for a great first half term. We have enjoyed a fantastic residential trip to Alton Castle, led an assembly and school mass, shared an INSPIRE workshop and made a great start to our last year at primary school.

Have a good rest this holiday!

Remember to read each day, learn your spellings, complete your literacy homework and bring in your RE research project on an Old Testament character.

Please also remember your artwork entries for the Father Hudson competitions.

Please help us!!

This autumn Flora and Stork, in partnership with Tesco, are running an amazing scheme called Tubs4Tablets.


The scheme aims to help our school bring cutting edge technology into the classroom by giving us the opportunity to collect tokens from special tubs of Flora and Stork on sale at Tesco through early October and exchange them for FREE touch screen tablets! Help us make our campaign a success!


We need to collect as many tokens as possible, these can be found on promotional 500g tubs of Flora Original, Light and Buttery and Stork. Hand us your tokens… Just 50 tokens will get our school one brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0” Wi-Fi 8GB tablet so help us to claim as many as we can.

Spread the word! Remember, if friends, neighbours, work colleagues and family can help too we could collect even more tokens to exchange for tablets. There’s no limit to the amount of FREE tablets we can claim for the school!

We have 8 so far. We need 42 more for one tablet!!!!!!
