In the Gospel this week, Jesus is depicted as the Good Shepherd. Through listening to Him, the sheep know and recognise His voice and can confidently follow His instructions. The prayers this week involve daily moments of silence for children to practise listening to God.
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 begun writing their Egyptian Mystery story.
In Maths, the children have continued their fraction work.
In History, we have looked at what Anglo Saxon settlements looked like and had a brief look at Anglo Saxon villages.
In Science, we have started out plant topic, we used microscopes to observe roots. We also identified various weeds. This would be a lovely thing together, if you visit a park or outdoor space.
In PE, we have started the athletics unit, both jumping and throwing skills. We also danced on Thursday due to the inclement weather
In RE, we have reached the Ascension. We thought about the mission that Jesus gave to the apostles.
In Music, we continued our disco unit. Year 3 wowed me with their glockenspiel skills!
In art, we painted paper to use as material for a collage.
