On Friday we will think about prayer.
We will talk about times when we pray, how we pray and where we pray. This is what Year 3 last year said about prayer. What do you think?

Younis said, 'prayer is an opportunity to tell God about our life'.
Sadie said,' prayer is when we spend time on our own with god'.
Piera said ' speak to God in our own special time'.
Campbell said, ' when you feel sad and lonely, speak to God and you will probably feel better!'

This week we have been thinking about being time travellers and made our own Tardis.

We wrote instructions and helped each other to make them. Good work Year 3!

Well done to everyone who took part in our Pentecost mass and picnic today. All the readers and flag bearers did a wonderful job. The singing in the choir was also brilliant. It was lovely to see so many Year 3 children there!

You’re a special friend to me.
Welcome, Lord Jesus, O welcome
Thank you for coming to me.

2. Thank you, Lord Jesus, O thank you
For giving yourself to me!
Make me strong to show your love
Wherever I may be

3. Be near me Lord Jesus,
I ask you to stay
Close by me for ever
And love me I pray.
Bless all of the children
In your loving care
And bring us to Heaven
To live with you there.
