Term 3 Topic Studies
Toys- we will be looking at the following topics in Term 3: 

• Explain different types of toys
• Explain how toys move (Push and Pull, roll and bounce)
• Explain push and pull forces
• Sort toys depending on the materials they are made from (soft and hard, electronic and non-electronic)

Daily home reading
We highly recommend establishing a daily routine for your daily home reading. A regular time and place will help you and your child to remember and enjoy the reading. This is an extremely important part of your child’s education. We have found that the most effective learning occurs with an effective home – school partnership. 

Some of the CAFE Reading Strategies that we are focusing on this term are:

1. Jabber the Reteller (sequencing)
2. Rocky the Racoon (visualising)
3. Spinner the Spider
4. Digger the Dog
5. Chunky Monkey
6. Tryin’ Lion
7. Questioning Owl

Rainbow Words
Keep practicing your child's Rainbow Words each night at home. Students will be tested once per week on these words.
