R.E
In RE we will be learning all about the promises made by parents and godparents at Baptism, and how this sacrament welcomes us all into God's family. During Advent, we will discuss the joys, (and sometimes demands!) of visitors and relate this to the very special visitors that the baby Jesus received at Christmas.
English
'How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth' will be our first focus text this half term where we will be writing a set of instructions for this mammoth task!! Then we will move on to the beautifully written and illustrated 'The Lost Happy Endings' and the class will write their own magical story!
Geography
We switch from History to Geography this half term, focusing on the different regions of the UK. We will be using maps and atlases, learning what keys are for and comparing different areas of the UK with each other, and over time.
Science
In our Science work, we will start by looking at nutrition and healthy eating before moving on to the main function of our skeleton and muscles. The children will have the opportunity to ask their own scientific questions, look for patterns and carry out research.
Our Work...
HELLOW YELLOW DAY 09.10.20
To mark Mental Health Day, everyone at St Joseph's dressed in yellow and brought in a donation to support the charity 'Young Minds'.
In 3SS we started the day with some relaxing 'colour breathing', which we can use if ever we feel stressed, worried or scared to try and calm us down.
We then wrote one nice thing about everyone in the class which will be made into a bookmark for us, so if we ever feel sad we can read it and be reminded of how special we are.
We also made our very own worry dolls to take home! It was an incredible day and the children all looked fantastic in their yellow clothes.
Worry dolls!

ROCKS! (Autumn 1)
3SS have been learning about rocks in Science! We started by looking at some rocks in class, comparing them and identifying some of their properties. We then took a walk around the school grounds to look for examples of natural and man made rocks that we could see.
