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 wrote a procedure on receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation. This week, the children will be writing a procedure on a game that they like to play.
NUMERACY FOCUS
This
week, we will be learning about ‘slides, flips and turns’.
