This week we had two hockey skill sessions with Craig. It was pretty tricky stuff but we persevered and had lots of fun playing 'Rob the Nest' and 'Creep Up Craig'!

Week 7, Term 1

This week we went to the Suter Art Gallery. We walked through the Queens Gardens and had a lovely surprise when we spotted a mother duck and her ducklings. We stopped to watch and admire them for a while. Upon arriving at the Suter Esther the teacher met us outside. After a quick chat we went inside quietly. We had a wonderful time looking at lots of really colourful paintings. We got to make our own by selecting similar coloured pastels.

Week 6, Term 1

Another busy week has flown by in Renwick 3!

During writing time we often use the white boards to practise our writing. We have been working very hard on forming our letters correctly. This is important because it helps us write faster! We can already beat Neroli writing lots of words we know!



This week Ruzgar read us one of his favourite books. We really enjoyed it because the King got flown into the air. We had a good giggle.


Discovery Time is always so much fun! After Ruzgar read us his book we thought about how we could be tossed into the air and what we might need to land safely. A parachute seemed like a very good idea so we attempted to make our own out of old plastic bags and string. We used old crayons to weight it down.

Next week...

Our sounds will be m/d.
Our tricky words will be we/see.
During maths we are working on ordering numbers.
Parent/Teacher meetings are next week. If you have not made a booking please come and see me so we can arrange a time.
On Wednesday we have our trip to the Suter. If you are free and able to come with us I would very much appreciate it.

Have a happy and safe week!

Week 5, Term 1

On Tuesday Jane came to our school to talk to us about Purple Cake Day and what we are raising money for. We felt a bit sad hearing about the lives of children that live in such poverty. We talked about needs and wants. Many of these children don't even have the basic needs such as, clean water, food or shelter. We are going to raise money to help these children.


































Purple Cake Day was a lot of fun. We had our faces painted, bought cup cakes and lemonade, played on our scooters at lunch time and listened to the beautiful voices of Nelson Central Choir.
