Week Ten, Term One

We have been working hard on our balancing skills in Renwick 3 this term. We have also been working hard on recognising number patterns in maths. We put the two together and came up with a fun game.
We rolled the big dice and whatever number it landed on we had to put that many body parts on the ground. Tricky stuff you might be thinking ...but not for the champions of Renwick 3!!

At the end of the term we said goodbye to Luca who has returned to Tonga with his family. We will miss Luca such a lot as he was a very warm and cheerful member of our class.

Thank you to all the parents who came for our 'virtual' picnic at the Botanical Gardens. Hopefully the weather will be kinder to us next time. The children enjoyed their television picnic all the same!

First week...

The majority of the class have nearly completed the Jolly Phonic sounds program. We will assess what we know and work on filling the gaps over the next few weeks.
Our tricky words will be mother/father.
During maths time we will continue with number as well as topic maths which is length, weight and capacity.
This Friday is our school cross country event. Please keep your eye out for the notice coming home with details. It is important on the day that your child is wearing appropriate shoes for running. The school day will end as usual at 3pm.

Hope you are all having a safe and happy holiday and I look forward to your return on Monday 2nd of May!

Week 8, Term 1

We are getting super fit in Renwick 3 for our cross country. We train every day apart from Friday. We have been training in the front field at school but we know that cross country races are usually ran over a variety of environments and surfaces. Take a look at our paintings in the class!


This week in Renwick 3 we have been making our own dinosaur fossils. First we made the special dough using flour, salt and coffee grounds. It smelt lovely! We rolled it into balls and then pressed in our dinosaurs. Neroli took them home to bake in her oven.


Next week...
Our sounds will be x, ch, sh, th or ai, j, oa, ie
Our words will be use, want or are, this
During maths time will be focussing on number knowledge to 20….numbers before and after a given number.
Thank you to all those parents who came to parent interviews. I really enjoyed sharing your children’s successes with you all.
On Tuesday afternoon Lynley will be teaching in Renwick 3 as I am on a Fundamental Skills course.

Have a happy and safe week!
