Faith Diary
As we continue our Lenten journey, this Sunday’s Gospel recounts the experience of three of the disciples on their journey to Jerusalem. Jesus leads them up to a high mountain to pray, but while he prays, the disciples fall asleep. They wake to find Jesus totally transfigured. His face and clothing are a dazzling white and they see a vision of him conversing with Moses and Elijah. The true glory of their familiar Jesus is revealed to them in that moment and they hear God’s voice saying ‘This is my Son, the Chosen One, listen to him’. This gospel challenges all the easy labels that many people use to dismiss Jesus as merely an inspiring teacher, a prophet, a compassionate healer, a friend of the poor…. He is of course all these things, but through this experience, the disciples come to understand, as we must, that he is much, much more than we could ever comprehend, define or even imagine. He is no less than the Son of God himself, whose full glory will be revealed to them and all the world at Easter.

Year 3
Literacy: Year 3 pupils used the recipe for Frobscottle as inspiration for writing their own BFG recipes. Ingredients for ‘The Fizzy Pie’ consisted of 50 teeth, 10 lips, 7 eyes, 4 litres of blood and 2 Snozzcumbers. Mix altogether and then sprinkle with crushed bones. Cook in the oven for 9 hours and voila – your fizzy pie is ready. How magnificently disgusting!
Geography: Year 3 have been learning about how to survive a volcanic eruption as part of their Geography work on Volcanoes. The class talked about different types of eruptions, and they learned about harmful substances that escape when a volcano erupts. We looked at images of a town near a volcano and discussed the issues the people in this town would face if the volcano erupted. Survival tips included making a disaster plan, having a bag packed with some clothes to keep skin covered and saving water in your bath or basin.
