Hi
parents,
I
hope you had a great weekend with the little rays of sunshine bursting through
yesterday! If the yellow flowers on the side of the road are anything to go by,
Spring is just around the corner.

LITERACY
FOCUS
This
week, our reading focus is ‘synthesising’. Synthesising is about adding what
you’ve read, to all the knowledge that’s already in your brain and coming up
with a better understanding of a particular topic. We most often synthesise
when we read non-fiction texts.
We
are busy using the ‘hamburger analogy’ to help us write the different paragraphs
on our planet information report.
NUMERACY FOCUS
This
week, we will be learning about ‘graphs’. When we collect data, we can present
that data in the form of a graph.
