This last half term has flown by, it’s hard to believe that next half term will be the last half term of Year 3. I don’t know about you but it feels as if this year has flown by. Next half term is jam packed, we’ve got our sponsored swim, Gym Jam Jog, sports day and lots of sporting events. Please keep an eye on the blog for upcoming events, dates and notices.

It has been another wonderful week in Year 3, the sun has shone brightly everyday and so have your children.

Luca, Jacob, Jude Cl, Michael and Danny led our worship this week, we listened to Acts 1 ‘Jesus is King’ and heard how Jesus stayed for 40 days with his Disciples teaching and encouraging them. Jesus explained that he would leave them again but the Holy Spirit would help and guide them once he had gone. Jesus would be ruling the world from his new position, seated at the right hand of His Father.
Thank you for leading our class worship, you will be our prayer leaders this week.

Sasha, Isla, Ruth, Heidi and Halle led our worship this week, we listened to John 21 and heard how Jesus prepared a fire on the shore ready to have breakfast with his disciples who had been fishing.

We hope you all had a wonderful Easter, the children have come back to school raring to go! We’re been really impressed with their focus and enthusiasm for learning.

This week our class worship was led by Dexter, Henry O, Sasha, Halle and Jack , they read a story about Jesus going missing when he made the pilgrimage to Nazareth with his family when he was just 12 years old. We listened to the children’s personal prayer and they have been our prayer leaders this week.

This week our class worship was led by Edward, Jude, Blythe, Bonny and Eliza , they retold beautifully the story of Daniel and lions. It was a story that really made us think and reflect on our actions. We listened to the children’s personal prayer and they have been our prayer leaders this week.

We have had a fantastic week of learning in Year 3, this week has flown by!
School is always such a busy place with lots going on, but there has been calmness in our classroom since we’ve come back from our Christmas break. The children (and the adults) are enjoying moments of quiet and reflection and this is reflected in the children’s work too. There’s always a buzz of excitement when we’re learning something new but I’m noticing more now that we’re settling quicker to focus and complete independent work.

Happy New Year! I hope you all have had a peaceful and restful Christmas - last half tern was really long and I think we were all ready for a break and a rest. This half term is much shorter, we have got straight to work and I’ve been so impressed with the children’s focus.

This week’s Advent Liturgy was led by Eliza, Michael, Ruth, Barnaby and Wren in the Chapel. We spent time thinking of those who are not as fortunate as ourselves and may find this time of year difficult. We spoke about how we could spread love and kindness in our community. Henry proudly told us how his family have been collecting food and gifts to distribute to those in need. We all agreed that this was an amazing act of generosity and kindness.

Our first Advent liturgy was led this week by Xander, Scarlet, Jack and Isla. They spoke about the real meaning of Christmas and how we can remind others of this .We thought about our Advent promises and how we are fulfilling these.

Luca, Eliza and Ruth led our worship on Tuesday. We listen to the story of son Joseph and his beautiful coloured coat. His brother were jealous of him and sold him to market traders for only 20 coins. We were shocked that they valued money more than their brother’s life. We thought about what we value in life and what is important to us.

Our class worship was led by Michael, Marla and Logan. We practised being still and reflective, and spent a few minutes thinking about how we have been intentional this week. We listened to the story of the runaway (Genesis 31) and listened to how Esau forgave his brother, something we know is not always easy.
