DESIGN HUB
The Design Hub will be back this Wednesday afternoon. If you could bring in any recyclable items to the classroom, the Year 3’s will be greatly appreciative.

IPAD FORMS
Just a quick reminder to return your iPad forms and return to either myself or Mrs Johnson ASAP. Cheers!

LITERACY FOCUS
Our comprehension focus for this week is ‘comparing’. Comparing is when readers think about how two or more things are the same. When readers are able to compare, it helps them to see similarities so they can connect ideas together and get a deeper understanding of what they are reading.

NUMERACY FOCUS
This week, the students will be continuing to review the concept of ‘time’.
We will also begin to explore volume.

 HOME LEARNING WEEK 7
The following tasks should be completed each night:

1.     Reading (readers) - 10mins
2.    Maths Activities – 1 section per night

1.    Physical activity (includes team or club sport, dancing etc) - 15mins

When a task has been completed, your child is required to tick it off in the diary.


Enjoy the week,

Mr. Jones
