Week 6 Term 3

This week was our last week with Ben and FUTSAL. We had a great time. Ben was very impressed with our skills!










On Wednesday Jane came to see us from The Department of Conservation to talk to us about the Great White Butterfly. We found out that this butterfly is endangering our environment and we need to get rid of them! Jane gave us some butterfly nets and some useful tips on how to catch them.



Next week....

Our sound will be the magic 'e'.
Our tricky words will be do/does.
During maths we will be reading equations.
On Thursday I will be away on a course and Michelle will be relieving in Renwick 3.
The School Community Group have reduced the price of our school cook book to $20. For each cook book that is sold the money will go directly to the class nominated. If you haven't got one I strongly urge you to buy one as they are fantastic. They also make great birthday, Christmas or even Father's Day presents!
Have a happy and safe week!

This week some of us had some fun breaking up some ice in the water trough! We tried using pencils to break it up to save our fingers from getting cold...but in the end we couldn't resist the temptation!




Friday Funday was a great day in to be inside or outside during Discovery Time. We have and will continue to be working on how to make positive comments to our friends. We want to ensure that everyone feels like their efforts and contributions are valued and respected.

Week 2 Term 3



The Shoe Fairy has been! During the winter months when the grass is wet and muddy we generally have to take our shoes off before coming into the class. Luckily we have some super helpers in Renwick 3 who have taken it upon themselves to keep our area tidy.

We love to have a big of a giggle and some fun in Renwick 3 so on Tuesday we are planning to have a P.J. day. We can bring our favourite toy to school to share for news but it will stay in the class for the day.

Next week....

Our sounds will be wh/e.
Our tricky words are where/what.
During maths we will be working with the number 10.
Tuesday is P.J. dress up day.
Wednesday we start FUTSAL training . This will run each Wednesday for 4 weeks, half hour sessions.
We have parent/teacher interviews. Thank you to everyone who has made an appointment.

Have a happy and safe week!
