School Rugby League Team Congratulations to our school rugby league team who defeated Emmanuel Catholic College on Wednesday to finish third in the local John Paap Shield competition. At half-time our Northview team were up 10-4 following tries to Kooper Shears and Wilhelm Wienert. With five minutes to go in the game Emmanuel had skipped to a 14-10 lead but a try to Nyzell Sauney and a pressure conversion from the sideline by Lucas Wayman (remember the Cowboys 2015 grand final win) sealed a 16-14 win. Thanks to our players and parents for their support over the season. Staffing Miss Agnew has taken on the role of Mackay District School Sport administrator from next week

From the Master Teacher

Reading Comprehension Strategy – Questioning Here at Northview we use the Question-Answer-Relationship (QAR) to help students understand

the level of question being asked. There are four types of questions examined in the QAR

model: • Right There Questions: Literal questions whose answers can be found in the text.

Often the words used in the question are the same words found in the text. • Think and Search Questions: Answers are gathered from several parts of the text and

put together to make meaning. • Author and You: These questions are based on information provided in the text but the

student is required to relate it to their own experience. Although the answer does not lie directly

in the text, the student must have read it in order to answer the question. On My Own: These questions do not require the student to have read the passage but he/

she must use their background or prior knowledge to answer the question. While your child is reading at home you can ask questions about the text (before, during and

after) to see how much they are learning from the text. Below are some question starters that

may help you when coming up with questions:
