Lenten Reflections

Throughout Lent we would like to invite all children and families to join us in the school hall for a short Lenten reflection led by Father Frank.

This will be held once every week at 8:30am and will begin from Tuesday 7th March, continuing until Tuesday 28th March.

We do hope you can join us for this opportunity to gather as a faith community to reflect on the true value and meaning of Lent.

YEAR 3 CLASS TRIP

On Thursday 30th March, Year 3 will be going on a class trip to Ribchester Roman Museum. This is an exciting opportunity for the children to be immersed in Roman Britain History, they will have the chance to handle a range of hands-on artefacts and there are also the remains of a Roman Fort on the site to explore.

The children have been given a letter explaining all of the details.

Our learning this week…

In RE, we have been researching the important parts of the church building, making links to how these items our used in Mass and describing some ways in which they reflect the beliefs of Christians. We thought about the altar, the tabernacle, the sanctuary light, the lectern and statues in church.

In English we have been exploring our class text to find a range of nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs. We then used our knowledge to start to plan and create some of our own sentences based on another scene from the story we have been reading. The children had some fantastic ideas!

In Maths this week, we have been investigating finding equivalent units of length, including millimetres, centimetres and metres. We have also been using small rulers, metre rulers and tape measures to find the lengths of objects around the classroom.

In Geography, we have been using atlas’ to locate large built up areas in the UK and to think about some of the jobs people might have in these larger population settlements.
