Key Messages of this week’s whole school worship
John the Baptist didn’t know in advance who ‘the chosen one of God’ would be, but Jesus’ true identity was revealed at His Baptism.
When we recognise Jesus as God, we come to know our true identity as God’s children and can be witnesses for Him in the world.
Please have a look at this Parent Newsletter linked with our weekly whole school and class worship…
Our learning this week…
In RE, we have been exploring the story of Zacchaeus, and how he was called to change by Jesus. We discussed the key messages of the story and thought about some ways Christians might live out these values in their own lives’.
In English we have begun our new class text ‘Fox’. We discussed the main themes of the story and the children used dictionaries to find out the meaning of some of the vocabulary used in the book.
In Maths this week, we have been developing strategies to work out multiplying a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number. We have also been thinking about related multiplication and division facts to support our calculations of larger numbers.
In PE Year 3 have been developing their throwing and catching skills within our new topic on handball. This week we have focused particularly on the correct technique for bounce pass.
In Science, we have been using small hand held microscopes to look carefully at a range of rocks. The children sketched their own copies of the rocks, labelling them to show features of each type. We discussed the three different types of rock; Igneous, Sedimentary and Metamorphic.
