Year 3

Year 3: Report writers

In English, we have been working on writing non-chronological reports, inspired by the text Cloud Tea Monkeys. As part of our lessons, we’ve been exploring the key features of non-chronological reports. Today, we focused on writing questions and gathering information about different types of monkeys. Here are some photos of us hard at work conducting our research!

Year 3: Welcome Back!

We’ve had a fantastic start to the term! At the beginning of the week, we explored the Feast of Epiphany, delving into its significance and traditions. We also celebrated the Feast of St. Adrian, taking time to research his life and draw meaningful lessons from his inspiring work.

Year 3: Catholic Social Teaching

In our recent lessons on Catholic Social Teaching, we explored the principle of the Option for the Poor. Together, we reflected on key scripture passages and discussed meaningful ways we can make a difference in the lives of those in need.

Inspired by this, we created Advent calendars designed to encourage daily acts of giving and kindness for the less fortunate. Take a look at some photos showcasing the creativity and thoughtfulness of our work!

Year 3: Hinduism Workshop

We had a wonderful time participating in the Hinduism workshop, where we explored the diverse forms of Hindu Gods. Here are some photos of us embracing the experience by dressing in traditional clothing!

Promises in Year 3

In RE this week, we completed our unit on promises. In this unit, we explored the promises made during Baptism, as well as the various signs and symbols associated with this sacrament. For our class display, we each wrote a personal promise and reflected on how we can keep our commitments.

Today, our school proudly wore red to stand united against racism, demonstrating our commitment to equality and inclusion. We were inspired by the ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ campaign, joining together to say a collective “no” to racism in all its forms.

Harvest Donations

We are still accepting harvest donations and kindly ask that all contributions must be brought to the school by Friday, 25th October. Please see the image below for a list of suggested donation items.

Year 3 Authors

We loved reading the fable The Midnight Panther, as its powerful moral reminded us to embrace our unique qualities and celebrate differences instead of trying to fit in. Inspired by this message we crafted our own fable, each with an important lesson as its core.

Year 3 Computer Whizzes

This week in computing, we started learning about coding. We tried out different commands to make the sprite move. By experimenting, we got a feel for how coding works and began to understand how to control the sprite’s actions. It was a fun introduction to programming.

Welcome to Year 3!

We began the week by focusing on Catholic Social teaching, with a particular emphasis on the care of the creation. We explored many ways to care for the remarkable world we have been given. Then we wrote prayers expressing our gratitude for the Earth, and sought guidance on how to preserve it.

In Religious Education, we studied our class saint, St Peter. We researched his life and gained a deeper understanding of his significance.

Wonderful end to Year 3!

This week in Design and Technology, we enhanced our cooking skills by making delicious savoury tarts with seasonal vegetables. We carefully diced and chopped the vegetables, showcasing our cooking skills.
