Wishing all our children and families a very Happy New Year filled with good health and positive times.
We hope you had an enjoyable festive break.
We would like to say a huge thank you for the beautiful cards and generous gifts we received at Christmas. Your kindness and thoughtfulness are greatly appreciated.
It has been wonderful welcoming the children back to school this week. There has been an abundance of chat about the holidays and lots of fun being back together. It is always a bit of a change/challenge getting back into the routines and demands of the school day after time at home (especially with cold, dark mornings) but P3 are adjusting well. Good work everyone!
Home Learning
As we enter term 2 of the school year, we will return to weekly home learning posted here on our P3 page. This will include reading from Monday 12th January. Look out for a 2026 calendar coming home on Monday to support the Maths task for next week.
Sacramental Preparation: Reconciliation
A P3 Mass will be celebrated at St John’s Church at 9.30am on Sunday 11th January.
We hope that all children preparing for the Sacrament will have completed lesson 3 (Baptism) in their purple booklets by Friday 16th January. We will continue to prepare the children in class and move forward with home tasks in the coming weeks. Many thanks for your support at home.
Beyblades
As you will know, a number of our children are loving Beyblades.
As part of our STEM learning and in response to the children’s interest, we have been making our own for use in school. These creations are marvellous and proving very successful!
In class this week, we have been reflecting on the old year of 2025 and all it brought us while looking forward to the promise of a new start in 2026.
Our giant Ancient Egyptian wall display has been much enjoyed but we get ready now to move on to our new learning focus…
We are all very excited by the prospect of 2026 and the opportunities it will bring.
We look forward to a productive term working together.
Kind regards.
The P3 Team
