Our Year 3 pupils were delighted to welcome their families today for two wonderful family assemblies. Both events were very well attended and provided a valuable opportunity for the children to share their learning, celebrate their faith and showcase their confidence and enthusiasm. We are incredibly proud of all the pupils for the thoughtful way they delivered their messages and engaged with everyone present.

3G – Pentecost: The Coming of the Holy Spirit

Class 3G explored the significance of Pentecost, when Christians celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples and the birth of the Church. Through prayers, readings and reflections, the children shared how the disciples were transformed from feeling frightened and uncertain into courageous followers of Jesus, empowered to spread the Good News to people from many different nations.

The assembly encouraged everyone to consider how the Holy Spirit continues to guide Christians today, helping them to show love, compassion, courage and understanding in their daily lives. The children reminded us that, just as the disciples were called to share God's message with others, we too can use our words and actions to make a positive difference in the world around us.

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses... to the ends of the earth."
(Acts 1:8)

3R – Let Your Light Shine

Class 3R reflected on Jesus' teaching that each person has unique gifts and talents that can be used to bring light, hope and kindness to others. Through their assembly, the children explored what it means to be a positive influence within our school community and beyond, demonstrating values such as respect, compassion, generosity and perseverance.

The children encouraged everyone to recognise their own strengths and to use them in service of others, whether through acts of kindness, supporting friends, working hard in their learning or standing up for what is right. Their message was a powerful reminder that even small actions can have a significant impact when carried out with love and care.

"In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
(Matthew 5:16)

We would like to thank all of our families for joining us and supporting the children on these special occasions. Well done to all of Year 3 for two uplifting and memorable assemblies that truly reflected the values and spirit of our school community.
