Science Autumn 1

The children in Year 3 were investigating different types of soil and trying to understand how to locate what type of soil it was.

They were looking at chalky soil, sandy soil, peat soil and clay soil. The children were then able to recognise which soil was better at holding water.

The children have been building castles as part of their Design Tenchology topic. They have looked at the features of a castle and tried to incorporate this into their design.

DT Spring 1

In Design Technology this half term the children are looking at cooking and nutrition, concentrating on eating seasonally.

The children have been learning the different technqiues of cutting and peeling seasonal fruit and veg.

At the end of the topic the children went to Our Lady's to cook their seasonal tarts which they have created using the cutting techniques which they learnt. They used ingredients such as courgettes, pepper, mushrooms and tomatoes.

Marist centre

The Year 3 children have been visiting the Marist centre to help them with Reconciliation. This is an important part of them eventually taking their first Holy Communion. The children learnt about the importance of saying sorry and forgiving, just like Jesus teaches.

A Walk For Creation

For Lent, Year 3 have been on a creation walk around school. On this walk the children stopped at the prayer garden, the front of school and the forest school area. The children led and took part in a prayer and liturgy for each stop thinking about how we can make the world a better place in the eyes of the Lord. Family members from Year 3 also came and joined us on this walk to take time to pray with us and think about what we can do during this time of Lent.
