Year 3
Welcome to Year 3
We have had a great start to Year 3, all of the students have settled in well and are embracing all our new systems in school. We have been learning about our class saint, Saint John Paul II and we are looking forward to an exciting year when many in the class will be receiving their First Holy Communion. We hope that everyone will continue to enjoy a successful term!

Our Learning
Father Charles visited Year 3 as part of our topic on The Christian Family. We were able to ask him some very interesting questions and we now know lots about him, including how many brothers and sisters he has, how many countries he has visited and when he became a priest. He also talked to us about what it means to receive Jesus at Holy Communion and why it is an important part of being part of The Christian Family.
Visit from Portals to the Past. Our visitor taught us all about The Stone Age and we got to touch some amazing things like a tusk from a woolly mammoth, a tooth from a sabre tooth tiger and a fossilised hyena 'dropping'! It was a fantastic day and the children were wonderful, they listened very carefully and asked some interesting questions.
"I learned that there was an age called the Copper Age between the Stone Age and the Bronze Age."
"I enjoyed learning about the man who was found in the ice 5000 years after he died."
"I learned lots about what life was like in the Stone Age."
"I learned that in the Stone Age they used flint to make weapons as well as tools."
Year 3 were asked to research our class saint, Saint John Paul II for homework. Here are some of their PowerPoints.
