Week 8, Term 2

Over the last few weeks we have been learning about and celebrating Matariki.
In Renwick 3 we have been singing waiata, dramatizing some legends, creating art work and dancing. On Friday we celebrated as a whole school at the front field. Each syndicate performed an item. We did the Matariki Macarena!

Sadly due to the wet weather our trip to the Museum for Maori Myths and Legends has been postponed until next term.

Next week...

Our sound will be short 'a'.
Our tricky words will be like/have.
During maths we will be looking at weight.
On Wednesday we are having a shared kai to celebrate the end of our Healthy Eating learning. Please send your child to school with a plate of healthy food to share for lunch.
This term seems to have raced by! Thank you for your support. The children have made huge progress over the term and as always I am so very proud of them. Last Friday was a prime example during our Matariki celebrations. On more than one occasion I noted Dr. Potaka commenting how Kowhai children were leading the way for behaviour and respect for others. I must also applaud the children on the courage they demonstrated to perform in front of the entire school. I never cease to be amazed of the strengths of our children.

Have a happy and safe week!
