The children have had a great week in Year 3. On Thursday, we had the opportunity to go to Mass as a class. Father Frank allowed all of the children to come up to the altar during the Liturgy of the Eucharist, the children were fascinated to watch the blessing so close up. It was a really special moment. Father also reminded the children of the importance of listening and how this can take many forms. Not just listening with your ears!
Here’s what else we have been up to this week…
In Maths, we have been using our multiplication knowledge to have a go at expanded multiplication using the column method. This requires lots of practise, please ensure you see the homework page and support your children in having another go at this at home.
In English, we have been looking at an example text of a setting narrative inspired by the waterfalls in The Rhythm of the Rain, next week we will begin planning our own setting narratives.
In RE, the children have listened and learned about two parables that Jesus told. The parable of the hidden treasure and the parable of the pearl. They have learned about parables being told to convey a message about how we should live our lives, as God wants us to.
In Science, we have started an investigation looking closely at rocks. We will continue the investigation next week.
In PE, the children have continued their topics - handball and net and wall.
