Week 4, Term 1

Cooling Off!                                  We are lucky to have a swim most days at school. All of the Renwick 3 champions are able to put their heads under the water and blow bubbles! Some of us are learning to float like a starfish. Pirate Fun! On Friday we had some Pirate Fun. We were learning about the 'p' sound and read a funny pirate book.  We made hats, telescopes and maps. Our pirate ships look very similar to our desks!!  Some children were lucky enough to find treasure to store away on their ships! Next week... Our sounds will be c/k or b/ai. Our tricky words will be for/see or said/down. During maths our class focus is counting backwards. We aim to start our new Inquiry topic 'Is it an animal?' We will begin identifying the difference between living and non living things. Our focus will be on animals and their groupings. We will really be ale to get our teeth into this topic when swimming has finished for the year. On Monday evening we will be having our Family Picnic night. This will be on the front field starting at 5.30pm. Friday is our library day. Please help your child to return their book so that they are able to have a new one issued. In Renwick 3 we are consistently working on our social skills and how to be a good friend. This week I have asked the children to be mindful of the nice things they are doing for their friends so that we can learn and share from each other. It is very heart warming to observe the children caring and looking out for each other. Thank you for your support. Have a happy and safe week!
