Reconciliation Retreat February 2025

This week, our two Year 3 classes welcomed Sister Anne and Ann to lead them on a Reconciliation Retreat. Throughout the day, the children reflected on the times when they have hurt somebody and the times when they need to say sorry to others for their actions. They all made a promise to God to continue on their Reconciliation journey.  They role played various scenarios involving the need to say sorry and forgive others. The children also created their own Celebration of the Word service which they then led beautifully

We had fun practising adding ones across a ten and then using the symbols Greater than, Less than and Equals to to compare the totals. 

We also added using a number line using 2 jumps.

Year 3 have been creating their own prayer books as part of their RE learning. They have learnt what are the most important prayers and can now use the prayer book to recite prayers and write their own.

Year 3 took part in a carbon monoxide workshop to understand the importance of a carbon monoxide monitor and the safety of having one. The children did some drama around the dangers of carbon monoxide and what to do if they are ever in a situation with the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

As part of our Harvest celebrations 3F led an assembly all about Harvest and how important it is to be thankful for the food which is grown and made. The children were especially ecstatic singing the Harvest samba!

As part of their Design Technology project for Autumn 2 children made castles. They copied the features of their designs to include features including battlements and drawbridges. They made 3D shapes from nets and thought carefully about how they could make their bases wide and flat enough to be strong and sturdy.

In our Geography topic on earthquakes, we learned that if a siren sounds, that we should 'Duck, Cover and Hold'. We practised this in class and the children did very well.
