Week 5, Term 3

Wow! We are half way through the term already!

This week we put together our Junkyard Dragon! This was a fantastic learning experience for the children. In groups of 3 the children had to plan and create various body parts of the dragon which we joined together. After we had completed the process I asked the children what they found the most difficult. While some children found working with the materials difficult the majority agreed that communicating with each other to be the most challenging!




Congratulations to all those children who completed the Food for Thought challenge.
Oliver raised an amazing amount of $161. Tracy was sooooo happy!



We thought we needed a pat on the back for all the brilliant work we have been doing in Renwick 3!



Next week...
Our sounds will be igh/i - e.
Our words will be many/night.
During maths our class focus will be doubles to 10.
On Monday I have a classroom release day so Caroline will be teaching in Renwick 3 for the day.
On Thursday we have a dress up day for the Rugby World Cup. Children can dress up in their favourite team's colours. There is a gold coin donation which is being donated to a school in Christchurch.
Have a happy and safe weekend and Happy Father's Day to all you wonderful dads!
