Today P3 had a Topic Day where we did lots of activities to do with Living Things. Lots of learning took place with loads of discussion and a good helping of fun!

Reconciliation Retreat
On Thursday, the Primary 3 class dedicated a day to preparing for their First Reconciliation. We went over to the church hall and took part in dramas, meditations, arts and crafts and games. Here are some photos from the day.
P3 Outdoor Learning – Art
We gathered leaves from all the different plants we could find and arranged them in size order. Next we used sketching pencils to try to draw accurate representations by looking carefully at size and pattern.

Holy Family wants your Holey Socks!
The Eco Team have an idea up their sleeves to cut down on plastic waste. What’s that got to do with socks? Well, let me tell you. Currently we use plastic sponges to clean our whiteboards but these rip and disintegrate and don’t last very long. They are bad for the planet.
We have the solution at our fingertips (or rather, our toes!): old socks that are destined for the bin can instead be given a new purpose! We are looking for holey socks AND socks searching for a “sole”mate (odd socks)!
Please start collecting together your odd and holey socks and bring them in to Holey (I mean HOLY) Family! (We will wash them on HOT and make sure they are safe and clean to use – don’t worry: no smelly socks here!)

P3/2 Pattern Work
P3/2 explored pattern using a range of concrete materials, drawing picture patterns and finding number patterns in 100-squares, linking to multiplication.
There was lots of interesting discussion and some great teamwork. The children had lots of fun and learned a lot along the way. Their Learning Lion and Successful Spider were thrilled with the children’s progress!
Carlo Acutis Exhibition
P3/2 enjoyed a fascinating talk and video all about Carlo Acutis at Holy Family parish last week. The children were so engaged and the ladies presenting were extremely knowledgeable. A big thank you to them and to Fr Krzysztof for welcoming us.
Reconciliation
These children made their first reconciliations this evening. It was a beautiful celebration and we are all very proud of you.
