Week 5, Term 3

After lunch we come in for quiet reading (quiet...ish!). Last week Neroli caught lots of us doing the right thing.

Simple Machines
We have been having some fun learning about Simple Machines this week. We looked at a wheelbarrow and how it consists of a wheel and axle, inclined plane and acts as a lever to lift a load. We found out we could lift Neroli in a wheelbarrow! We explored the fulcrum on a plank of wood. We noticed that when the fulcrum was placed closer to the load it was easier to lift up. We could actually lift our friends using just one hand!

Masked Parade
The Masked Parade is fast approaching and Kowhai Syndicate are underway in getting our masks made. Thank you to all those who have offered to help.
The Masked Parade is Friday 18th October. More information regarding costumes, times and meeting points for the night will come home closer to the time.

In Renwick 3 at the moment we have chicken pox and head lice so please keep an eye out for these.

Next week... 
We will be looking at short vowels.
Our tricky words will be only and very.
During maths time we will be reading and understanding simple equations.

Have a happy and safe week.
