The Angelus - May, The Month of Mary

May is the Month of Mary

Next week in RE, Year 3 will be learning about and reciting The Angelus, in readiness for our May Procession/Mary Day on Friday (we will be wearing something blue and raising money for our charity Cafod, who are working to support those who have suffered in the recent earthquakes in Nepal.)


The Angelus reminds us of the Annunciation, when the Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary with great news!
When we pray The Angelus with humility and love, we are sharing Mary's faith in God's goodness. We are blessed that we can ask both God and Our Blessed Mother for their help on our journey towards Eternal Life!

We pray to Mary in a special way...what prayer do we say?  This prayer also forms part of The Angelus.

Good Luck Year 6!

Year 3 would like to wish Good Luck to Our Friends in Year 6 as they work through their Assessments next week!

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.
