Tomorrow marks Armistice Day: November 11th. On Sunday 12th, it is Remembrance Sunday. Remembrance Day is a memorial day observed since the end of the First World War in 1919 to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. We wanted to gather as a school as a mark of respect to remember and pray for all those fallen soldiers, who have bravely fought for our country in past wars, and also for those who are still fighting for our country now. Year 6 lead our Remembrance Day assembly beautifully. Year 3 made poppies to bring home, to help them remember, for this weekend.
Here’s what else we have been up to this week…
In Maths we have been using our knowledge of the column method to add and subtract 3 digit numbers with other 3 digit numbers. We will continue this next week, exchanging numbers for subtraction has been particularly challenging, but I am sure Year 3 will crack this next week.
In English we have continued with our Fox unit. We have been learning new vocabulary and writing sentences about the Fox and Magpie including the new vocabulary and conjunctions. The children also wrote poems about the Fox and Magpie.
In RE we looked closely at the different parts of Mass and why we do certain things, for example when we genuflect.
In Science we looked at skeletons and the children grouped animals into vertebrates and invertebrates.
In Geography, the children have continued learning about the countries in Europe and where we would find them on a map.
In Music the children enjoyed doing a quiz to test their musical knowledge and responding to a piece of country music.

Online Safety at Our Lady’s
At Our Lady's we like to support our parents/carers in Online Safety matters.
Keeping children and young people safe online is one of the biggest challenges facing society today and it is all of our responsibility to ensure that children are educated to make positive, informed choices when they are online.
This month’s online safety guide gives helpful advice about…
microtransactions – those in-app or in-game purchases which can tempt young users into regular online spending.
We hope you find these guides informative and helpful in promoting the positive use of technology to make the online world a better and safer place for us all.
Have a lovely weekend.
Mrs Holden and Mrs Dunford
