We have had another wonderful week in Year 3 ending with our celebration of World Book Day today. The children all looked fabulous and I am blown away yet again with the effort you have all gone to. Our school community is truly wonderful and I am beyond proud. Reading is my favourite thing to do and I enjoy nothing more than trying to pass that love on to the children. We infuse reading and the skills associated with it in to everything we do and it is so lovely to see the children’s reading and love for reading grow as the year has gone on.
We undertook our ‘Walk for Hunger’ pilgrimage this week to Notarianni’s and back. We walked 5.5 miles in total! The children were brilliant and really embraced the reason behind our walk. From the sponsorship forms I have seen, we have raised over £200 just from Year 3 for Cafod and Brian House. A phenomenal amount! If you haven’t yet sent your child’s sponsorship form back in to school please do so this week.
On the morning of our pilgrimage, we had our class mass over at church. Father Frank spoke to the children in great detail about pilgrimages and even spoke to us about some journeys he has embarked on himself. The children were beautifully behaved and it was the perfect start to our day of thinking about others.
Aside from World Book Day and our pilgrimage, here is what we have been up to in other aspects of our learning…
-English: we have innovated story maps this week ready for writing next week.
-Maths: we have been learning our 8 times tables.
-R.E.: we answered questions on the Act of Contrition.
-History: the children learnt about the growth of the Roman Empire.
-Music: this week the children were given their recorders from Miss Benson. From next week they will be able to bring them home to practise. Please ensure your child’s recorder comes back in to school in time for their Music lesson the following week (we have Music on Wednesdays).
