This Sunday marks the third week of advent, when the Hope candle will be lit. During the third week of Advent we are filled with joy for the near arrival of Jesus on Christmas day. This Sunday is often called ‘Gaudete Sunday’ as we reflect on the joy the shepherd’s felt at the birth of Jesus.
We had the privilege of watching Reception’s and KS1’s nativities this week, when they showed us the story of Jesus’ birth through song, dance and acting!
Here’s what else we have been up to this week…
In Maths, we have continued problem solving, using our multiplication and division knowledge.
In English, we have practiced the use of commas and inverted commas (two of the main targets from Year 3’s independent write). I hope to see the children using these in their writing going forward.
In Science, we have completed our investigation and the children have drawn their conclusions.
