OF THE WEEK

look up to no matter how tall you grow.”
FATHER’S DAY BREAKFAST
Just
a reminder that the Father’s Day Breakfast is this Friday. It would be great to
see as many dads as possible. If you can’t make it, rest easy knowing that I
will take good care of your bacon and egg roll!

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.
The
children are currently writing the final copy of their information report.
NUMERACY FOCUS
This
week, we will be learning about ‘interpreting data’.
