Week 1, Term 3

Welcome back to Term 3! I hope you all had a restful holiday.
This week we started our topic 'Castle Connections'. We are looking at the properties of materials. We had to rescue Humphrey from the fort using only the materials we could find in the playground. After much discussion and testing we decided to use Oliver's idea of making a parachute out of rubbish bags and flax.

Folk dancing has been a big hit with everyone. We have danced nearly every day! We are planning to put on a display for parents, family and friends at the end of the term so we will keep you posted.

During maths we have been learning about time. We have made our own clocks and next week we will be learning how to tell the time using an analogue clock.

Well done to all those children who are doing 'Food for Thought'. It is not too late to get involved if you haven't done so yet. This is a great cause. The children in the orphanage benefit greatly from our support.

Next week...

Our sounds will be ee and ea.
We will be recapping on the words like and that.
During maths time we will be learning to tell the time (hour/half hour).
Sam will be teaching in Renwick 3 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Please remember that parent interviews will be next week. If you haven't made an appointment please come and see me to arrange a convenient time or email me on nerolis@nelsoncentral.school.nz

Have a happy and safe week!
