Year 3

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.

In PE, we concluded our final lesson by enjoying a variety of ball games.

What a wonderful end to another amazing school year! Thank you for your ongoing support and generous gifts. Have a fantastic summer!

Year 3: History/ Open Evening

We spent an incredible day exploring life in the 16th century, focusing on the catastrophic event of the Great Fire of London. We learnt how the fire spread, examined maps to track its path, and used our archaeological skills to dig up and analyse artefacts, which provided us with valuable insights into what happened.

Throughout the day, we participated in a variety of engaging activities, such as candle making, sewing, creating our own ink, making perfume, and experimenting with herbs to craft medicine, among many others. A huge thank you to all the volunteers, your assistance was invaluable, and the day would not have been possible without you!

On Wednesday, we also hosted an open day to celebrate our achievements over the past year. Thank you to everyone who joined us and supported our work.

Year 3: First Holy Communion Celebrations

On Wednesday, we celebrated a significant milestone by participating in our First Holy Communion and mass. During the mass, we were reminded of the importance of receiving Communion, as we read prayers and sang hymns. Dressed in our finest attire, we marked this special occasion. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the parents for the delicious spread that was generously provided.

Year 3: English

In English, we are reading the book ‘The Day I Swapped My Dad For Two Goldfish’. To deepen our understanding and develop our writing skills, we explored the characters through role play and wrote about how the characters were feeling. Here are some photos of the character being hot – seated.

Numeracy Day!

In Year 3, we celebrated Numeracy Day with a series of fun and educational activities. We created our own songs and raps, focusing on times tables and important maths keywords we have learned so far. After spending time perfecting our lyrics, we performed our creations on stage, showcasing our musical and mathematical skills.

Year 3: Mary Queen of All Saints

Across the school, we celebrated the crowning of Mary. In Year 3 we created artwork to represent Mary, Queen of All Saints.
