PARENT
ROSTER
The
parent roster or Term 3 is up on the whiteboard. Thank you in advance.
LITERACY
FOCUS
This
week, our reading focus is ‘determining importance’. Determining importance is
important because it’s impossible to remember every word we read. By thinking
only about the facts or messages that are important, we can remember the ‘big
idea’ of the text.
For
the next few weeks, we will be learning about the structure and language
features of information reports.
NUMERACY FOCUS
This
week, we will be learning about ‘multiplication and division facts’.
