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 ‘inferring’. Inferring is when
readers combine what is read with relevant prior knowledge. When we infer, we use our background
knowledge to help us work out unknown words, and we use picture and word clues
to help us understand what is happening in the text.
The students will
continue to explore narrative writing this week. We will focus on creating a
character, quotation marks and developing a plot.
NUMERACY FOCUS
This week, the students will be learning about ‘mass’.
