Week 3, Term 2

This week we had a big adventure with a trip to the Maitai Dam. We have been learning how precious our water is. We went to see where our water comes from. Lachie's Grandad showed us around the dam.

We have had a very physical week in Renwick 3. We have started our Cross Country training. Every day, Monday through to Thursday, we meet at the front field after lunch time. All our Kowhai and Te Pouahi friends come and we run an entire lap of the front field!
We have also been throwing and catching large balls (which also involves quite a bit of running!!). Over the last couple of weeks we have improved a huge amount.

Next Week...

Our sounds will be n, p or ee, or.
Our words will be no, a or this, she.
During maths time our class focus will be the number that comes before any given number.
A reminder that this Tuesday I will be attending a Teacher Paid Union Meeting. You can collect your child from school at 2.15pm. Some staff will be on duty to provide supervision only.
We are continuing to focus on co-operation as our social skill. I am encouraging children not only to share and take turns but also to take care of each other. We have talked about the fact it is our right to feel happy and safe at school. Therefore, it is our responsibility to ensure everybody feels included, safe and happy.
On that note .... have a happy and safe week!
