'STAY AWAKE, BE READY' - DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT DAY!

Holy Souls School has been up to something 'different' today!  It has been a very colourful, sticky and glittery day of preparation.  ADVENT is a time of preparation for the coming of Our Lord - this Sunday marks the First Sunday of Advent. 

Can you remember why we were wearing purple?

We hope you enjoy looking at some of the crafts Year 3 have been making.  You can also log onto the school website to see what the rest of the school has been up to!

Our 'buffet' - what can we do with this?

A selection of our creations,

We made Advent wreaths and candy canes.

What a pretty angel!

Look at how wonderful our creations are!

Who is this character and who will he be helping this year?

Beautiful keepsakes for our trees at home.

'CHRIST BE OUR LIGHT' - we gathered in the hall to turn our Christmas lights on - what important person pressed the switch?

Build Your Wild Self

As part of our Myths work in literacy, we have been creating a mythical creature for our villain!  We used the following web link - have a go and Create your 'Wild Self'!

We will also be using this link to create something festive to take home at the end of term!

First Confessions

Well done to Year 3 and the children of the Parish who made their First Confession this morning. You were very reverent and the prayer service was beautiful.
