Sacrament of Reconciliation

On Saturday morning the Catholic members of Year 3 celebrated the Sacrament of Reconciliation at Sacred Heart and Holy Souls Parish Church. This marked the end of our preparation programme which the Lost Sheep video below played a large part in.

A short prayer service led by Father David was followed by the children making their first confession and receiving God's forgiveness.

It was a spiritual occasion which was beautifully observed by all who were there.

Enrolment Mass

Today we gathered at Sacred Heart and Holy Souls church to enrole upon our preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and the Blessed Eucharist.
Well done to all those who were there and a special mention of thanks to the readers who read well and the two children who had to stand in at the last moment. (You know who you are.)

Don't forget we have a meeting upon Thursday which will be led by Father David. This will explore the Sacrament of Reconciliation in preparation for our receiving the Sacrament on Saturday 22nd November.

Book Week

Last week we had our annual book week. Various activites took place during the week and culminated (ten house points to first who can tell me what that means) with a fancy dress day on Friday where we all came as our favourite book character.
The book fair also raised over £1000 which means school can claim over £600 worth of books for school.

Firework display

Today in class we had a silent firework display. We created calligrams of fireworks, such as rockets, sparklers and Catherine wheels. We discussed what noise they made and we put together with our friends a display of several fireworks going off at once.

Do plants need leaves?

Today we set up our investigation into whether plants need leaves in order to survive.

We have two plants, they will recieve the same amount of water, the same amount of warmth and will be placed in the same part of the classroom. The only thing that is different between them is that one plant has been striped of its leaves.

We have predicted that the plant with leaves will do well but the one with no leaves will struggle. We will check to see if this prediction comes true over the next few weeks.

Plants Provide Food

Today we looked at the role that plants play in providing us with food. We listed lots of different fruit and vegetables that we like (or dislike) and we created a poster to show how many plants (fruit and vegetables) we can eat.
