Advent Liturgies

Throughout Advent we would like to invite all children and families to join us in the school hall for a short Advent liturgy led by Father Frank.

This will be held every Tuesday morning at 8:20am and will begin from Tuesday 29th November, continuing until Tuesday 20th December 2022.

We do hope you can join us for this opportunity to gather as a faith community to reflect on the true value and meaning of Advent.

Our learning this week…

In RE, we have been learning about the bible story when Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth. We talked about the trust and faith that both Mary and Elizabeth showed. We thought about some ways Christians follow this example in their own lives’.

In English the children have been continuing their work linked to the story ‘The Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes. This week we have been using Thesaurus’ to enhance our choice of figurative language, which we will be using to create our own ‘Jennings’ style poetry based on the character of the Iron Man.

In Maths the children have been developing their abilities in problem solving and mathematical reasoning, by applying their knowledge of multiplication and division to a range of word problems. The children have been encouraged to use maths resources to support them in their learning.

In PE Year 3 have been using their throwing and catching skills to complete small-sided dodgeball and tag rugby games.

In Science, we have started to plan an investigation to answer a scientific question based on our previous work of the human skeleton. ‘Can people with longer femurs jump further?’ We discussed our predictions and some ways we could make sure it was a ‘fair test’, we also thought about the things we would need to measure. Next week we will complete our investigation and review our findings.
