The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord (also known as Candlemas) is today, 2.2.24. The season of Epiphany ends, we remember when Jesus was brought to the Temple by his parents. This is a day when candles are blessed in Church and taken home and lit to share the Light of the World within our homes.
We have been extremely busy with our learning in Year 3 this week. Here’s what we have been up to…
In Maths, the children have solved some really challenging multiplication and division word problems with multiple steps. This was not easy but the children were very resilient! We have now started a new maths topic, money.
In English, the children have looked at the 7 natural wonders of the world. They have written a diary entry as an explorer who has visited one of the wonders. Next week, the children will write an information leaflet about one of the natural wonders.
In RE, the children have learned about Jesus’ miracles and why he performed them, to show the power of having faith and trust in God. We also worked on our RE display in our table groups, which will be about the parable of the sower.
In Science, we learned about fossils and how they are formed.
In PE, the children have continued net and wall and handball.

Safer internet day
Safer Internet Day takes place on Tuesday next week - 6th February. This year's theme is: ‘Inspiring change? Making a difference, managing influence and navigating change online’. This is a very important part of our work to keep children safe online. Please spare a few minutes at home on this day to talk about what the children have learnt in school and how they keep safe online. Many thanks.
Catholic life
The following resources are a great way of keeping you all informed of our current liturgy themes and of the weekly Gospel scripture, with some activities that the children can complete at home. We hope you find these resources useful and that they help you to support prayer and worship in your own homes.
