Measuring Metres in Maths

Look at what we did in Maths today. We both estimate and measured using a metre stick. We can also convert cm in m. Why not ask us?

We will use this in RE

Look at our Christmas shoeboxes being collected!!

Well done to everyone. We collected 102 boxes which broke our record of 85 from last year. What a fantastic effort. Thank you! Our boxes will be transported to Bosnia in time for Christmas.

Our Class Council Meeting

Today Year 3 talked about how we organise lunch at our school. We voted to change the order in which we go in to eat our meal. This is the result of our vote. It was a landslide!!!

Mass on Sunday

We are looking forward to seeing you all at mass on Sunday. Here you will present yourselves and sing

very clearly before the rest of the Parish.

Don't forget to be at church at 9:45 for a 10:00 am start.
