Welcome to Year 3

W/E 10.10.25: Year 3 were joined by Greg from The Mark 10 Mission as he came to our class to share in our Prayer and Worship.

W/E 3.10.25: On Friday the whole school celebrated the feast day of St Francis of Assisi. Year 3 went to mass in the morning (with Year 4) and in the afternoon everybody celebrated in different ways. In Year 3 the children listened to different versions of Francis’ life, then had to write about the important parts. Following that they were free to make a stained glass window. In the middle of the window (created using card and thin tissue paper) they could choose to centre it with either the outline of St Francis or that of an animal (since Francis loved all of nature). Whilst doing this the children celebrated by eating snacks and treats. A fun afternoon to finish the week!

W/E 3.10.25: Year 3 were very lucky to be visited by The Leeds Diving School. They came in and taught a session in the hall where the children were taught how to shape their body properly when diving into water. Then they were taught other skills such as rolling safely and surfacing. Some children impressed them enough to be invited for a trial!

W/E 3.10.25: As it is the month of October we remember that it is a special month to remember Our Lady, Mary. Every day the children say a decade of The Rosary at a point in the day. Year 3 use the Mark 10 Challenge to support them.

W/E 3.10.25: Ukelele lessons continue for  Year 3. This video shows them learning how to play the ‘G’ chord.

W/E 26.9.25: This week Year 3 hosted a MacMillan Charity Coffee Morning as this was their chosen charity for the class. People were very generous donating buns, cakes and biscuits. It was lovely to see so many parents come along too. We had so many treats that we are going to sell some next week too!

W/E 26.9.25: #Year 3 continue their Science lessons about Rocks. In this week’s lesson they got to handle different kinds of rocks and learned about their formation and how some are used for our purposes.

W/E 8.9.25: The #Year3 children have settled in well to their new class. The first 2 weeks have been very busy. They were the first class in the whole school to lead The Liturgy of The Word and Prayer, focusing on the harvest and Creation. In Art they have started learning about monochromatic styles and have been practising their sketching and colouring. Keep looking here for more photos and news as the year goes on.
