Week 2, Term 2

This week in Renwick 3 we have been learning about capacity during maths time. We listened to the story 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'. We looked at the different sized bowls of porridge and estimated how much each would hold to see which bowl belonged to Father Bear.
In groups of 3 we got out our own lunchboxes and drink bottles and imagined they belong to the 3 bears who were going on a picnic. We had lots of discussion on what lunchbox and drink bottle would hold the most food and therefore belong to Father Bear, then Mother Bear and finally Baby Bear.

As part of our learning about the letter 'J' we made some jelly! The smell was delicious....and it tasted great. It was a wonderful treat for Friday Fun-day.

Next week...

Our sounds will be t,i or oa,ie. Our words will be, in, it / little, put.
For maths we have finished our measurement topic and will be now focussing on number for the remainder of the term.
Our Inquiry topic, 'Splash', is going well. We have been busy identifying the difference between a natural resource and man made resource. We have acknowledged that we need to take care of and use our natural resources efficiently. Our trip to the Maitai Dam on Wednesday will support our learning in this area.
Our class is now full with 18 delightful and energetic children. We are having lots of fun learning how to use our new interactive whiteboard. It is a fabulous tool that engages and excites the children with their learning.
Have a happy and safe week!
