This half term Class 3 got ready for their first class assembly. They retold the story of Mr Gumpy’s Outing.
The children showed their paintings of the setting and characters from the story and sang songs. We also showed
videos we had taken of children retelling the story.
Our topic this half term was ‘Festivals’. Children enjoyed finding out about the Jewish religion. They learnt that
Jewish people believe in one God. They also found out about the importance of the Torah and a Synagogue. They then
used all of this information to create a non-fiction book. We also found out about Christianity and were able to discuss
many similarities and differences between Christianity and Judaism.
The children thoroughly enjoyed learning this year’s Christmas Nativity. We quickly learnt all the fun songs and enjoyed
making up dances to go with the songs. We had great fun getting into our costumes and performing to all the guests who came
to watch our many performances. We hope you enjoyed the show!
We also had time to take a quick break from all the rehearsals to go ice-skating. This was a trip thoroughly enjoyed by all (adults and children). See the events page for further information about this trip.

Class 3 are continuing to make a great effort to complete their homework. We need to continue working on reading
every night and completing our Reading Diaries. Remember there are prizes for children who read every night.
The topic we will be covering next half term is ‘Florence Nightingale’. Look out for letters containing further information.
