What an exciting end to this term Year 3 class have had!

Memory boxes at PSHE

We have been working together to make memory boxes which could be filled with special mementoes to help us cope with losing someone or something. This supported our PSHE learning about ‘grieving’, whether this is through the loss of someone special, a beloved pet or a friend moving to the mainland. We learnt about how to console someone who may be going through such a loss. 

As always, the children showed understanding of the importance of our school values of Love, Courage and Friendship.

Trip To St. Alban Church

We had a great trip to St. Alban church on Tuesday, with our Year 4 class. Father Tony talked about Holy Week, and we saw images of the Stations of the Cross. This certainly helped us with both our R.E. learning and our Orange Write in English as we wrote a newspaper report about Good Friday – and questioned why it is called ‘Good’. We even thought what Jesus’ Mother, Mary may have put in a memory box following the loss of her son.

And finally…

We took home our ‘blooming’ (or not, as the case may be!) broad bean plants! We have really enjoyed our unit on ‘How Plants Grow’ in our Science lessons and we all had ‘green fingers’ in our learning about chlorophyll! 

Our tree display has been up for over a week now and the pictures still smell of the chlorophyll ‘paint’ we used!

However, despite such an amazing week Mrs. Bushell doubts that anything would top finding some hidden Easter eggs amongst some very large rabbits this afternoon!! 

Happy Easter to everyone from all in Tim Peake class and enjoy the holidays (but remember to Doodle!!).
