Hi
parents,
Welcome
to Week 6! I hope you had a fantastic weekend. I can’t believe how quickly this
term is flying by. A big congratulations to all the Year 3’s that received the
Sacrament of Reconciliation last week and a huge thank you to the prayer
buddies for their support.

the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent

LITERACY
FOCUS
This
week, our reading focus is ‘inferring’. Inferring is when we read between the
lines to create a meaning that is not necessarily stated explicitly in the
text.
Last
week, we began examining the structure of procedures. This week, we will be
writing a procedure on receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
NUMERACY FOCUS
This
week, we will be learning about ‘angles’.
