It was lovely to be back with the class last week after my trip away with the Year 6 children. I had missed them very much! I received a glowing report off Mr Brisk who taught the children in my absence - he was very impressed with the children’s behaviour and their attitude to their learning. Well done everyone!

Last week we attended church for our Year 3 class Mass. Father Frank popped in to school a few days before to ask the children to consider a very important question before our Mass: what is prayer? On the day of our Mass the children gave Father some beautiful answers to this question including ‘a way of communicating with God’. Father Frank was very impressed; as was I. The class were impeccably behaved and I was very proud of them all.

Our learning last week…

In English the children wrote a non-chronological report on Boudicca.

In Maths the children took part in some times tables challenges.

In RE the children learnt about our parish church and what the special objects inside symbolise.

In History we have learnt about Roman entertainment including gladiators.

In PE the children have been practicing for Sports Day.

The spellings for next week’s test are: INTEREST, ISLAND, KNOWLEDGE, LEARN, LENGTH and LIBRARY.

Your child will be tested on a mixture of the 3, 4 and 8 times tables next Friday.
