Week 8, Term3

As a grand finale to our Castle Connection Inquiry Topic we had a Medieval Day at school. We all dressed up accordingly and had a shared kai for lunch. What a feast! We were still eating at 2.55pm! We had a terrific day. Thank you to all our mums and das for helping us with our costumes and for providing such wonderful food.

Another highlight for the week was our involvement in the Rugby Parade for the re-enactment of the first game of rugby in Nelson. We raced down to the front field to enjoy the extravaganza!

We have been pressing on with the preparation for the mask parade. Our bits and pieces are coming together. We will need some parent help towards the end of next week to help putting the masks together.

Next week...

Our sounds will be u/oo.
Our words will be put/because.
During maths our focus will be the number before any given number.
We have our folk dancing display on Monday at 2.30pm in Trinity Hall. It would be lovely to see as many parents, friends and family there to enjoy the children's learning and success.
Thank you to all those parents who purchased calendars, cards or diaries. This is an excellent fundraiser for the school so your support is very much appreciated.
As those summer rays are hitting upon us it is a timely reminder that sunhats will be required for term 4. I note that some children are already starting to wear their sunhats which is fabulous.
Our social skill we are currently working on is courtesy. I have to say that the children in Renwick 3 have impeccable manners which I can not fault. It is very rare that I hear unkind words being spoken by the children. Well done all!
Have a happy and safe week.
