Bird Box Web Cam! - Spring is here!

Spring has sprung and with it, more of God's creatures are growing around us!

Year 3 (and Year 2) are privileged to have live web cam feeds into bird boxes dotted around our school.  We have many eggs laid from our BLUE TITS and already have a few hatched this week!
This is such an exciting time as we watch them grow...

What other animals or plants have you seen grow this season?  We would love you to share any pictures and experiences of God's Wonderful Creations.

Science - Plants

Some children at Holy Souls School have also been planting in our school garden - I wonder what we have growing in there?  Have you helped to grow anything at home?

Year 3 are already conducting our own investigations into plants - what have we found out so far?

Please share any of your SPRINGTIME experiences with us...

Year 3 continue to Grow and Learn!

Just a reminder that the Excitement, Wonder and Awe of learning does not just involve our Sacramental Preparation...

We are still continuing our Maths and Literacy work, as well as Science and Topic work.  We have provided some links for you to look at at home so you can keep your skills in all areas in 'TIP-TOP' condition.

May we take this opportunity to thank you for your support and preparation for this most Blessed Sacrament.

First Holy Communion Meeting - Thank you!

Thank you all for attending our meeting in church, this afternoon.  I hope we managed to answer any queries you may have had; if there is anything you may need to ask over the next few weeks, please do not hesitate to come and speak to a member of Year 3 staff at the end of the school day.

One thing we need to confirm is that professional photos in the school hall will not be available before the 9.30 masses -  I apologise for any confusion I may have caused!

As we stated. the children are preparing well and will be wonderful on the day - please can we encourage you to practise mass responses, prayers and any readings with your children.

We are all very excited as it is now so close!

God Bless,

Miss Wood

Year 3 First Holy Communion - Alton Castle Retreat Day, 2015!

Today, Year 3 attended their Retreat Day at Alton Castle, in preparation for their First Holy Communion.

We were lucky that the weather was kind (even though it was slightly chilly!), which meant we managed to take part in the many team building tasks outside.

We had a fabulous day and would like to thank Father Craig for joining us, and the group leaders of Alton Castle for making our day so memorable.

We feel blessed to have been prepared for this most Holy Sacrament in such an exciting and spiritual way, and feel ready to Share The Lord's Supper within the next few weeks.

If you would like to find out more about Alton Castle, why not log-on to the link below... you can find out more about what the centre has to offer and take a sneaky peak as to what to expect when you attend your Residential Trip in Year 6!...
