Our Week!

This photo slideshow personalized with Smilebox

We started our week with a Family picnic on Monday night. It was a picture perfect summers evening to share a picnic with friends and family.

We have been working very hard to get into our routines during our reading, writing and maths times. We have lots of opportunities to practice our social skills, particularly co-operating and sharing.

During painting this week we painted our fruits to make a fruit colour wheel. Keep you eye out on the walls next week!

Next week...

Our sounds are e/h or j/oa.
Our tricky words are like/are or some/put.
During maths we will continue on backwards counting.
During painting time we will be looking at complimentary colours.
A reminder that this Thursday is school photo day.
Next Friday is Purple Cake Day. The school will be raising money for children less fortunate than ourselves in India and Haiti. Each syndicate will be doing something different.
The seniors are hosting a 'Wheels Day' on Wednesday for a gold coin donation. Children can bring their scooter, bike, roller blades etc and during lunch time will be able to ride on the front field concreted area.
Our syndicate have decided to have Face Painting for $2 for the Kowhai children (3 classes).... but there is a small catch! We need some parents to volunteer their skills to help out. We plan to withdraw children from class in small groups.
So if you are available to help this Friday please let me know. 
This week Caroline will be teaching in Renwick 3 on Wednesday and Thursday as I have class release time for assessment and professional development.

Have a happy and safe week!
