Welcome to Year 3!

Year 3 Christmas Play - The Little Shepherd

Well done to all of the year 3 children for their fantastic Christmas play. The play was very much enjoyed on Wednesday afternoon by the school and in the evening by the parents. All of the children worked very hard in the lead up to the play to learn their lines and practise all of the songs! They performed fantastically with loud, clear voices and they sang beautifully. Well done!

We Are Growing in Christ

Year 3 children may join Mrs Jones to pray the rosary throughout October.  October is dedicated to praying this special prayer which was so dear to Our Lady.   We shared quiet reflective moments as we learnt to pray together.  We continue to learn and say this prayer at special moments in our parish.  We were all invited to bring our rosary beads to school for an assembly to end November, the month in which we especially remember our deceased friends and family.  May they Rest in the Peace of the Lord.

Year 3  are Reading Wizards! 

To complete our Year 3 Reading Challenge, we need to read ten books from the Reading Challenge Box.  Look out for these books as they have special stickers. There are a selection of books from different authors and different genres.

If we succeed and read all ten, we will be presented with a certificate and badge at the end of the year.  If any of the books are too challenging, then they can be shared at home as a family book. Look at the Year 3 badge below. 

Year 3 are Musicians!
