I would like to begin by saying a massive well done to all the children in Year 3 this week, they have settled in well to being upstairs in their new classroom and it has been a pleasure getting to know them. On Thursday we went over to church to share a special mass for Our Lady’s birthday, this was a lovely whole school celebration and a great way to start our new school year.

Our learning this week…

In English the children have started to explore the story of The Stone Age Boy, they were able to develop their use of vocabulary to describe the main characters.

In Maths we have learnt started to learn about place value in numbers up to 1000, the children were able to use base 10 equipment to support their understanding.

In RE the children began their new topic by reflecting on the importance of family and shared examples of the times they have spent with their own families.

In Computing, the children enjoyed role playing the journey of a file through a network, considering the use of the server, network switch and wireless connector.

The children will be coming home with their spellings and homework on Monday 12th, this needs to be returned by the following Monday. So the first spellings and times tables tests will be on Monday 19th September.
