Welcome to Year 3! Mrs Harris and Mrs Grierson are looking forward to seeing the children in class.

Mission Day On Friday 8th September we took part in our School Mission Day and celebrated St Mary’s birthday, known as Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We looked closely at our School Prayer as a class and thought carefully about what the words mean to us at St Mary’s. Focusing on CAFOD’s Catholic Social Teaching for the Common Good, we wrote our own ideas about how we could ensure everyone’s voices are heard at school and around the world. We also began to look at information about Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, who is our class saint. On her feast day in October, we will look at this in more detail throughout that week. We thought about the virtues of this half term – Grateful and Generous and read the story of the Widow’s Mite, we will be exploring this in more detail during RE lessons. We finalised the day by celebrating Saint Mary’s birthday with special cakes and saying a Hail Mary to remember how important she is in our lives today.
