Wishing you all a Happy Easter.
He is Risen: The Resurrection in Matthew 28
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundation of the Christian faith. Without the resurrection, the belief in God's saving grace and mercy through Jesus is void. When Jesus rose from the dead, he proved his divinity as the Son of God and his works of atonement, redemption, reconciliation, and salvation. The resurrection was a real, physical raising of Jesus’ body from the dead.
We have had a wonderful week. We started the week by sharing our class liturgy. Everyone performed beautifully, Fr Frank said how pleased he was to be able to hear and understand every word spoken.
We have been extremely busy with our learning in Year 3 this week. Here’s what we have been up to…
In English, the children have written letters as Jemmy Button and drawn cartoon strips inspired by our class novel Giant. We also voted for the order of our next two class reads: The Explorer and The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.
In Maths, the children have been working on fractions, focussing on tenths.
DT this week has been particularly challenging! The children have been constructing castles from paper and card, folding nets to create 3D shapes. I am so pleased with the effort that they put in and their resilience when completing challenging work! I know some of the castles got a little damaged by the wind, so here are the pictures from after they were completed.
In HRSE, the children have been thinking about ways to keep safe online.
In PE, the children have been working on fielding skills and dancing.
