Hi
parents,
Welcome
back to Term 2. We have a very busy term ahead for the Year 3’s. First up will
be NAPLAN in Week 3 and in Week 5, the children will receive the Sacrament of
Reconciliation. A very exciting time for any child as they begin their faith
journey.

LITERACY

This week, we will be doing our final preparations
for NAPLAN. This means we will be writing a narrative and a persuasive text
this week. We will also be covering some language convention style questions.
NUMERACY
FOCUS
This
week, our numeracy lessons will take on an ‘investigation rotation’ feel. This
