Welcome to Year 3!

We have now been back for two weeks and are settling in well. We are full of enthusiasm to undertake the challenges ahead this year.

We have established our class rules and we are already working hard. We are very pleased with the attitude towards learning and have been impressed with the improvements we have seen on a daily basis.

In RE, we are learning all about homes. The children beautifully explained what makes a house a home. We talked about Jesus’ home and wrote a prayer thanking God for our homes. We know that God has made a home for us and that we are welcome in his family. We are exploring Psalms, we have sung together, and the children independently wrote their own Psalms, thanking God for his love.

Our focus in Maths so far has been number and place value. The children are now able to successfully identify hundreds, tens, and ones, as well as use different manipulatives to represent place value.

In English, we are learning about instructions and their key features. We have already written our own instructions; we also enjoyed playing our instructions-based picture game. Please ask your children to tell you about this and play with them at home!

We have started our geography lessons this year with the study of volcanoes, which has fascinated the children. Every day we hear questions about if we are learning more about the volcanoes! It is amazing that research about volcanoes is being done at home and not just in school – well done everyone.

Our PE lessons are on Wednesdays and Fridays. This term, we are exploring different types of movement. The children are always very happy when we have PE lessons and understand the benefits of staying physically active.

Mrs Religa and Mr Gauci would like to thank you all for a great start to the year. Please remember to read every day, practice what you have learnt, and always try to do as Jesus taught us. We are looking forward to the upcoming year and know that we will achieve great things together.
