Year 3
As part of our Prophecy and Promise Religion topic, we visited our Parish Church to share in the Liturgy and after, we looked at the special objects in church and those used in Mass.
During the half term, the children completed a project of sharing special memories of loved ones who have died to make ‘Ofrendas’ in order to remember them by. In school, they wrote special ‘Amor Eterno ‘ prayers and decorated ‘Calaveras Sugar Skulls’ as part of our celebration of the Feasts of All Saints, All Souls and Day of The Dead.
Year 3 children experiencing what it is like to play wheelchair football in their MUFC lesson.
Children enjoying playing together as a reward for achieving ‘Class of the Week.'
Celebration of The Word for Mission Sunday Week. The children reflected on the Gospel of Luke 18: 1-8 and remembered we are all called to share God’s love with everyone. The Pope is asking us to be missionaries of hope. When we pray for each other, we share hope and our prayer can give us the strength and determination to help in practical ways too. We thought about how we can spread hope in places around the world where people are suffering because of war and hunger and how we can share God’s love today with the people we meet at school and home. We made’ hands of hope.’
Unpacking Scripture. We have unpacked Sacred Scripture: Psalm 8 to describe how a psalm studied praises creation and links to the Story of Creation- Genesis 1.
Curriculum RE: Creation and Covenant This half term in the season of Creation we have thought about the Story of Creation and how the earth is God’s precious gift to everyone. We have reflected on Laudato Si, Pope Francis’ letter to everyone on this planet to care for our common home – The Earth. As good Stewards of God’s creation, we are working in partnership with a community project ‘Abundance Manchester’ to harvest and pick apples and pears from our St Alphonsus school orchard to make food and drink for the local community.
Welcome to all our Year 3 family, what a wonderful start to the new academic year! Celebration Of The Word Over the past few weeks children have enjoyed participating in and leading the class in our Celebration of The Word. We have reflected on special chosen pieces of Sacred Scripture linked to the Liturgical Calendar along with children’s individual choices. We have reflected on how this Scripture speaks to us and how it can help us to go forth and live our faith each day.
