ASSEMBLY
The
Year 3’s will be hosting the prayer assembly this coming Friday. We would love
to see you there. We will be performing a pantomime on the story of Zacchaeus.
All children have a copy of the pantomime in their homework folders and I have
included practising it each night as part of their homework. The children will
be dressed in their normal Friday sport uniform.

This
week, our reading focus is ‘asking questions’. Questioning is when readers ask
questions before, during and after reading to clarify meaning, make
predictions, and identify what is important.
We
are continuing with procedures.
