Literacy

Writing

Our children will be moving onto Persuasive writing for the next three weeks. They will be working on developing their opinions on a topic and giving reasons why they feel that way.

Reading

Learning new words increases reading comprehension drastically. We know that children store new words in their long term memory by being exposed to them in many ways and examples.

Continue to introduce new words to your child and give a child friendly meaning. A way to introduce new vocabulary to your child is by:

Does anyone know the meaning of __________ ?"

Providing a definition - "It means _________ ."

Providing a synonym - "Another word for this is _________ ."

Providing an example - "An example of this is __________ ."

Faith

Some of our Year 3 children are celebrating their First Reconciliation on Friday 2 June.. We pray for them during this special time.

Everything has a place in creation, all related to each other – None can exist without the other. There is goodness in relationships. Reconciliation is an opportunity for healing and strengthening our relationships.
