During this week’s Open Afternoon, Year 3 were able to share with their parents what they do during PE with Gordon. They worked on various skills including balance and core strength. It was lovely to share with our parents what their children do in these lessons.
Year 3 and 4 had the opportunity to celebrate Mass at Corpus Christ. It was so special, with all the children praying and singing with such joy. Mr Penna played the guitar so we could sing ‘Burning in my Soul’ with actions. What a joyous occasion.
Recently, we had the Theatre company RISE visit us and made us think more deeply about our role as Stewards of God’s Gifts.
We had a packed day of singing, dancing, and interactive drama, As well as all this, we created our own Rainforest birds and wrote a Class Psalm. What a busy fun day!
Year 3 were very lucky to have Gordon help out on our KS2 Sports Day. We had great fun and enjoyed the sunshine. Thank you to Mrs Bolger for adding to our photos of a lovely afternoon. Can you spot our future Olympians?
Year 3 have been asking the Key Question ‘Should Emperor Claudius Invade Britain?’ We looked at all the reasons For and Against leaving sunny Italy to come to Britain. The children acted as Advisors to Claudius. Finally, we had a Conscience Alley to make our final statements.
They had to break this code…
If WCI is Why Claudius Invaded, what does this mean?
WCI = L+ S + C + M+ F+ ? (Hint: L = Land)
Can you remember or work out the rest?
Year 3 had a lovely time with the ducklings this week. We practised our skills as scientists and artists by making observational sketches. Looking closely at their markings, their webbed feet and eyes. This led to a great discussion about adaptations in animals. A really fun afternoon with some great work produced.
TTRS and Numbots!

As we begin our Summer Term, Year 3 led the Resurrection Liturgy for the whole school and families today. They did a wonderful job in spreading the Good News, that God loves you and Jesus is always with us. The led us in prayer, meditation and joyful song.
Remember your mission? Create a poster telling people about the wonderful news, and stick it in a window to share with the world.
We have our Year 3 Easter Resurrection Liturgy the first Wednesday back. Here are the three songs you will need to learn off by heart. Sing-a-long to give you more confidence.
Year 3 really enjoyed a daily dose of Science this week, during British Science Week! As we’re learning about skeletons and muscles, we combined out daily Sponsored Lenten Walk with a warm-up to some investigations.
We wanted to see if taller people have longer bones, so as well as measuring height, we measured leg length, fingertips to wrists and head circumference!
Another investigation, we explored was seeing if regular exercise or activity impacted on muscle strength. You will have to ask our resident scientists if you want to know more about our results!
