Book Fair Challenge

WOOHOO! The Book Fair returns to Holy Souls School, straight after half term.  As usual, you will have the opportunity to visit the fair every evening after school with your parents, for a week.  This is a great way to increase your reading skills and a super fundraiser for the school community.

Mrs Kielstra has set us a challenge, details of which have also been sent home.

Do you have any books at home that you no longer want and would like to donate to the school?  Consider which year group it would be appropriate for and write a summary of it.

Bring the book and your written summary into school when we return and Mrs Kielstra will take a look at your entry!

Are you a bookworm?

How do we pray the Rosary? - Mrs Girling's Challenge

OCTOBER IS THE MONTH OF MARY

Mary gave us the gift of this special prayer.
What other names do we know Mary by?  Why is she so special to us?

Mrs Girling has challenged us to find out all about the Rosary.  We have sent home your challenge sheet and look forward to sharing what you have found out.

This is very useful for Year 3's Sacramental preparation, as we ask Mary Our Mother to give us the strength to make the right choices and pray for our wrong choices on our Journey of Faith

sorry it is the wrong way round - a slight technical problem!

Here are some useful websites to help you complete your challenge.

Christmas Card Challenge

The Father Hudson Society is one of our very important charities that we support at Holy Souls School.

All children have been set a Christmas Card Challenge to design your own unique Christmas Card.  We have sent you home with posters with the details and challange you to design a Christmas Card.  All entries need to be returned before 19th November, so that Mrs Girling can send them off to The Father Hudson Society.

GOOD LUCK AND GET CREATIVE!

Half Term Fun Challenges!

Once again, thank you for your hard work so far.

Year 3 have set some maths homework, to do with our shape work, which we would like you to complete over half term and bring back in on Tuesday 5th November.

Mrs Girling and Mrs Kielstra have also set up some whole school fun challenges for you to have a go at!

The details of each challenge can be found on the above blog posts.

WHY NOT GET YOUR PARENTS involved in helping you - the challenges are fun and creative, and remember, THEY COULD WIN YOU A REWARD!

Well done and Happy Half Term!

Well done for all of your hard work this half term.  Have a safe and restful week.

Remember to keep up with your reading, times tables and spellings.

You may want to have a look at these links for a bit of fun too!

Sorting 2D shapes

Today we sorted 2D shapes into a Carroll diagram.

We used a Year 6 piece of equipment called a 'set square' - can you remember what this helped us to find out about a shape?
Can you remember the properties of a quadrilateral?
What other new words did you learn in maths today?

Congratulations Prince George!

Congratulations to William and Kate on the Christening of their handsome Prince George!
