Thank you and well done!

A big thank you to all of our Year3 grown ups today who attended our RE INSPIRE workshop - it was lovely to have the opportunity to see you working with your children.

And another thank you for coming back and attending our SACRAMENTAL MEETING in church after school.  We hope today has given you a better understanding of what your children are working towards over the coming weeks!

Welcome back! INSPIRE and Confession meeting

Welcome back to a new half term!
We hope you are well rested and ready for the exciting half term ahead.

MAY WE REMIND YOU...

Year 3 have a busy day on Thursday 7th November.

We will be holding our Year 3 INSPIRE workshop, where parents are invited to support us in our Sacramental work...

Following this, after school we remind you of our important meeting over at Sacred Heart and Holy Souls Church at 3pm - here we will discuss arrangements for The Enrolment Mass on Sunday 17th November and The First Sacrament of Confession on Saturday 23rd November.  

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT AN ADULT ATTENDS BOTH OF THESE EVENTS!

We look forward to welcoming you all on Thursday 7th November!

Team Year 3

Forgiveness - The Prodigal Son

After half term in RE we will be looking in detail at the Prodigal Son. This story is part of our preparation for First Confession in a few weeks.

Our First Confession meeting is coming up soon. Remember that it is straight after school at 3:00pm (7th November).

To help us with our prepartion for The Sacrament of First Confession, we have been learning about this important story.

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!
