This Sunday, 23rd May, we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost, when the Lord sent the Holy Spirit to the disciples of Christ to fill them with courage. Those first followers of Jesus showed incredible courage as they went out into the world to spread the Word of God, but they did so in the true and certain knowledge of God’s love for them. I hope that you feel the power and love of the Holy Spirit as we celebrate Pentecost this weekend - may the Lord fill you with the love and strength that you need to go forth and proclaim the love of the Lord.
I can hardly believe that when we return to school after the two week break that we will only have 6 weeks left together before the summer holidays. The children have worked hard this term and we will continue to do lots of fantastic work in the run up to the end of Year 3 to ensure they are ready for Year 4. I’m really proud of all of them for the progress they have made this year - not just academically…they are also maturing in to lovely young people and are starting to understand the importance of treating others how we wish to be treated ourselves.
What we have been up to this week
English - we have done tonnes of research this week in to different aspects of Roman life - Hadrian’s Wall, Legionaries and Education. We also created our own Top Trumps cards.
Maths - we have started to learn how to multiply a 2 digit number by a 1 digit number.
History - we described the three attempts to invade Britain by the Romans and then we had a silent debate as to whether we would have fought back against the Romans if we lived in Britain at the time or whether we would have accepted them as our new rulers.
Science - we looked at some statements about the sun and decided whether the statement meant the sun was a ‘Hero’ or a ‘Villain’.
P.E. - we had a handball tournament and consolidated our ball skills learnt from this term.
Music - we played along to Bob Marley’s ‘Three Little Birds’ on our recorders.
