Week 3, Term 4

This week we had some very special visitors to Renwick 3. We really enjoyed these soft fluffy balls of fun coming to entertain us!

Make your own free picture slideshow On Friday afternoon as we were busy doing our work we noticed it had turned cold and had started to rain. Neroli shut the door. All of a sudden the rain sounded quite heavy. We looked out the window to see hail falling onto the deck and paths! Next week... Our sounds will be ow/c. Our tricky words will be now/nice. During maths we will continue to work with numbers with and within 5/10. Please remember that Calendar Art orders are due back by the 8th of November. On Tuesday evening at 5.30pm we are having a family picnic tea for Parihaka. There will be lots of fabulous entertainment. It would be great to see you there. Have a happy and safe week!

Week 2, Term 4

This week during Discovery Time we were working on our school wide social skill of including others. We all had a wonderful time. During reflection time everyone said they had felt included and part of the work and play.

Week 1, Term 4

Well what a busy start to Term 4! We worked hard all week in preparation for the annual Nelson Masked Parade. We looked fabulous in our masks and costumes.
A big thank you to all the parents that helped us put it all together.
Neroli was so very proud of us on the night. We waited very patiently in the car park until it was our turn to start walking. We sang and danced our way through the streets of Nelson.

On Wednesday we had a cricket coaching skills session with Daniel. We played some games hitting and running after the ball. It was quite tricky and some of us had butterflies in our tummies but in true Renwick 3 style we just had a go. We actually really enjoyed ourselves having lots of laughs and giggles!

Next week....

Our printing letters will be y/b.
Our tricky words will be two/their.
During maths we will be looking at patterns with and within 5 or 10.
Thank you for all the boxes and items donated for Discovery Time. Keep them coming as the children are 'eating' them up. I am sure you can tell by your child's enthusiasm that Discovery Time on Friday is going extremely well. For me it is incredibly rewarding to observe the children's creativity, perseverance and social skills developing as they take direct their own learning. The problem solving and negotiation that takes place is quite something!
As the weather is heating up please help your child to remember their sunhat. Wide brimmed hats must be worn in Term 4. A no hat no play rule is in place.
Have a happy and safe week!
