It has been lovely to come baxk from the summer holidays and get to know what it will be like to be in Year 3.

Last week, Miss Owen and Miss Cowlishaw hosted a welcome meeting for parents which provided information that might help. Here is the presentation if you were unable to attend and would like to know more.

If you have any question, please don’t hestiate to ask us!

We can’t wait for this year!

What a fantastic day of tennis we had at our school’s inter-house competition! The sun was shining brightly, casting a warm glow over the courts as four houses – Oscar Romero, Mother Theresa, St Mary, and St John Paul- battled it out for the top spot.

The competition was fierce, with each house showing excellent sportsmanship and teamwork. The standard of play was extremely high, with all players demonstrating exceptional accuracy and control of their tennis racquets. We were particularly impressed with the number of precise shots and clever volleys that were executed throughout the day.

In the end, it was St Mary House that emerged victorious, taking home the top prize. John Paul House came in second place, with Oscar Romero House claiming third position. Mother Theresa House put up a great fight but unfortunately finished in fourth place.

Despite the competitive nature of the competition, there were only a couple of balls that went over the fence – but even those were quickly retrieved by our enthusiastic ball boy – Mr Mack!

The Year 6 students did an outstanding job as umpires, ensuring that the matches ran smoothly and fairly. Their enthusiasm and knowledge of the game were impressive, and they did a great job of keeping the players focused and on track.

We are thrilled to have had such a fantastic afternoon and to see everyone having so much fun while showcasing their tennis skills. It left everyone feeling tired but proud. Well done to all participants and congratulations to Red House on their winning performance!

Over the last few weeks in Year 3, we have been learning about the story of Pentecost. We have took part in some role play to retell the story and created freeze frames for the parts we thought were the most important.

We have also been thinking and talking about where we can see the Holy Spirit in our lives, this was part of the homework we did over the May half term as well.

We hope you can see us spreading the Holy Spirit and good news just like the Apostles!

We have had lots of fun in Year 3 over the last term including World Book Day, Inter-house football competition and learning about other faiths.

As well as having fun we have worked really hard on learning the column method, using speech in our writing and understanding fractions.

Hope you all have a lovely Easter holiday!

As some of you may know, on Friday 19th January Year 3 made flapjacks as part of their Design Technology topic this half term. This helped us work on our weighing skills and ensured that we were cutting the dried fruit safely using the bridge method.

We hope that you got the chance to taste and enjoy our flapjacks.

Very unexpectedly THE GRINCH not only came with a prize for us but he also ran with us during our Santa dash this morning.

We have been writing letters back to him after receiving his nasty letter to us…

We are trying our best to convince him that Christmas is in fact the best time of year.

He threw a prize at us this morning, whoever can be the most persuasive in their letter will win the toy!

As you may have heard, we have practiced a lot of our times tables this week through songs-

Here are some links to our favourites-

Hello and welcome to a new academic year! We are so excited to start learning with you all and making memories.

If you were unable to make our welcome meeting, then please find the powerpoint below.

Welcome to Year Three 2023

Any questions please let Miss Shaw or Miss Owen know.

Thank you for all of the junk modelling that was brought in for us to use. Today we became engineers and created our very own boats! We had to make sure they were fit for purpose- waterproof, buoyant and could hold a weight.

We had a lot of fun and some of us created very successful boats!

Well done Year Three!

We had a fantastic afternoon making our fruit salads. We learnt how to use the bridging method for safe cutting and managed to cut up a huge amount of fruit!

We created delicious fruit salads that we can use as inspiration as a healthy snack for after sports day, we have been learning about how to fuel our body healthily before and after exercise.
