The children have spent time this week, writing their own prayers and planning their class worships. Next week’s worship will be led by Emilia, Fletcher and George L. I am really proud of how the children have taken ownership of our class worships, they really are highlight of week in class.

Class Worship was led this week by Alice, Lena and Louie. They read the parable of Jesus feeding the five thousand (Matthew 14:13) and as a class we sang one of our favourites - All Glory Lord and Honor.

As a whole school community we have witnessed reenactments of the events of Holy week, it has been an emotional week, starting with the celebrations of Palm Sunday with Year 2 right up to the Resurrection this morning with Year 6. We have spent some time each day reflecting on what we have witnessed, thinking about the thoughts and feelings of Jesus and those around him.

We’ve had a super busy week in year 3! As always the children have worked hard and really impressed the adults in class. On Thursday morning I went on a course and so the children were able to impress Mrs Gregan with their knowledge of Romans.

It was lovely to speak to many of you this week about your child’s progress and achievements so far this year, the next set of Parent’s appointment are next Wednesday - set your reminders!

We have an amazing week in Year 3, topped off with the lovely news that Mrs Marshall welcomed her baby girl into the world on Tuesday evening!

It was lovely to see so many of you at our Book Look on Thursday, it was clear to see how excited the children were to share their work with you and I am sure you will agree the children have been working so hard and are making great progress.

We have had a very busy week in Year 3! Our Class Worship was led by Lucia, Mia-Grace and Rodnie, they read The True God (Kings 12:16-19) and chose the hymn Mary did you know for us to sing together. The children listened thoughtfully as they shared the prayers they had written. Thank you for leading our class worship, you will be our prayer monitor until next week.

The first half of Spring Term has flown by. Despite the weeks being short, the amount of learning that has happened has been huge! The children are now half way through their school year and should be immensely proud of the progress they have made and the wonderful things they have achieved.

Class Worship was led this week by Heath, Nathan and Liam, their chosen theme was They read beautifully the story of The Enormous Fish Jonah 1:17and shared prayer they had written. As a class we sang Shine Jesus Shine and My Lighthouse.

We have had another wonderful week of learning in Year 3. In RE we have spoken about God’s Kingdom…What is it? Where is it? How do we get there? Can anyone be in God’s Kingdom? The children thought carefully about what is in God’s Kingdom and how they can spread God’s kingdom in their everyday day acts.

This week the children have spent time planning their class worships, in groups the children have chosen one of the school virtues to be the focus of their worship, written their own prayers, chosen a reading from the Bible and selected their favourite hymns to sing with the class.

The first week back after a break is never easy, but we’re so proud of the determination and positivity the children have shown this week. Despite the mornings being cold and dark, the children have been coming into school every morning smiling and raring to go.

This final week has been a whirlwind of Christmas joy. Thank you so much for joining us on Monday evening at church. The children’s telling of the Christmas story through song and scripture was simply beautiful.

We cannot believe how quickly this half term has gone, between the hustle and bustle of Christmas preparation, as teachers we have been reflecting on our own and the children’s learning journeys so far.

Nativity is out in the classroom, the tree is up, the lights are shining, the classes and corridors are filled with the sound of carols and the children’s eyes are twinkling with excitement and anticipation. It really is the busiest but the most wonderful time of the year!

Our class worship was led by Joseph, Rodnie and George. They read beautifully the story of Jesus healing the paralised man (Luke 5:17-26). They chose to sing one of favourite hymns, Glory Lord and honour, you may remember it from our Easter worship last year.

Our class worship was led by Lucia, Rosa and Jackson, they told the story of Jesus healing many (Matthew 8:14-16) and read prayers they had written.

Our class worship was led by Mia-Grace, Fletcher and George. They read Luke 7: 1-10 The faith of the Centurian and chose the hymn Shine Jesus Shine for us to sing as a class together.
