Christians pray to God the father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit. Some special prayers help us remember that God is three in one. We used the Glory be to act out each one to help us to remember. Father (point up to God) Son (Hands out like a cross) Holy Spirit (Wave hands like the wind and make a heart to show God is all around sharing his love).
We used religious words to describe the Christian belief in the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We discussed that Christians believe in one God who is three people. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. We used drama to show, Father (Creating the world stretching arms our wide), Son (Helping, teaching or caring for others) and Holy Spirit (Move like the wind or a flame to show helping people to feel brave and strong).
Members of Junior leadership team, School Council & Rights Respecting ambassadors attended a visit to the Liverpool Civil and Family Court to take part in a mock robbery trail.

“I aspire to be a Fire fighter”.
For Maths day in Year 3, we worked in small groups and one child was blindfolded, the child who was blindfolded was challenged to create a variety of 2D shapes from squares to pentagons, using rope. This was a new challenge but we worked so well in our groups and managed to make lots of different 2D shapes. Well done Year 3!
Year 3 started their music lesson by just using the mouth piece from their instrument, to create different syllables and follow different beats!
In art this week we have been looking at the artist Sarah Sedwick. We have collected different fruit and cutlery to make a similar piece of still art work.
We all took part in a colour run to raise money for CAFOD. We had so much fun!
Year 3 have ensured note C and D are secure when playing their trumpets.
Year 3 took part in three different races today, running, egg and spoon and finally a sack race! We had so much fun, well done everybody!
Today Year 3 and 4 took part in a music concert, they showed their talents playing the ukele and the trumpets.
This week in Year 3, we have taken part in various science experiments. We started with Get Set Jellies and then moved on to Friction fun. Jelly sets over time but we found out that different methods for preparing the jelly, can slow the process down. We used, peaches, mangos and pineapples as our additional foods in the jelly. We then took part in a friction experiment using long grain rice, a pencil and a water bottle. The aim was to see whether the bottle filled with rice could be lifted off the surface area by just holding the pencil. We were amazed at the outcomes and thoroughly enjoyed our experiments!
Reacting to bullying and the implications of being a bystander.
Today we carried out a P4C (Philosophy for Children) session on bullying to share and discuss our thoughts and opinions.
Exploring tuck jumps, star jumps and straight jumps with appropriate landing.
Today we practised our gymnastic shapes by mirroring with a partner. We tried hard to ensure that each shape demonstrated straight lines.
