What a contrast between this week’s weather and the weather we had
over the weekend! Hopefully, this is the last of the rain and we can finally
settle into some Springtime weather!

DESIGN HUB
The Year 3 Design Hub will be up and running for weeks 5 to 9. If
you could save any suitable building materials from the recycling bin and drop
them into the class, that would be great!
YEAR 3 ASSEMBLY
The year 3 assembly is scheduled for Friday Week 6. Hopefully,
many of you will be able to make it on the day. I will let you all know if
anything is needed from home.
LITERACY FOCUS
This week, our reading focus is ‘questioning. Questioning before,
during and after reading should help the reader to:
· Clarify and
review what has happened so far
· Confirm or
create new predictions
· Monitor reading
for meaning and accuracy
· Make connections
between what they know and the content of the text
The students will
continue to explore narrative writing this week. We will focus on language
features, narrative paragraphs and creating a setting and a character.
NUMERACY FOCUS
This week, the students will be learning about ‘money’.
