This week we have continued looking at the importance of Abraham and the covenant made with God. We also looked at how Abraham is important to Christians, Jews and Muslims.

Next wednesday is European Day of Languages. In class we will mark this day by dedicating some time to talk about the importance of foreign language learning, learn about the culture of our chosen country (Poland) and use the language.

We have been extremely busy with our learning in Year 3 this week. Here’s what we have been up to…

In English, we have been working on our writing skills before writing our setting descriptions next week.

In Maths, we have continued counting looking at numbers to 10,000: using a number line, representing numbers using Roman Numerals and finding 1,000 more.

In PE, we have practiced handball skills.

In Science we have continued our journey through the digestive system, focussing on how important saliva is!

In RE, we learned about God’s covenant with Abraham. We wrote diary entries as if we were Sarah.

In Spanish, we have continued with phonics.

In Geography, we looked at how food is grown in a tropical climates.

Resilience team!

Wellbeing Wednesday has continued! This week I tasked Year 4 with handed out smiles to other members of the school and then we heard more from Adam about what the Mental Health Champions programme will entail. Everyone is very excited!

We are going to be leading a whole school Wellbeing Day on the 10th October, for this, children are encouraged to wear odd socks. We’ll be planning more details next week!
