LITERACY
FOCUS
This
week, our reading focus is ‘summarising. Summarising helps identify the main
idea and eliminate unnecessary information. It also enables us to put what we’ve
read in to our own words so that we can remember it more easily.
We
will continue to learn about the structure and language features of information
reports. This week, we will be completing our information reports about
Dunsborough.
NUMERACY FOCUS
This
week, we will be learning about ‘inverse operations’. For example, if we know
that 10 + 5 = 15, then we that 15 – 5 = 10.
