Week 5, Term 2

This week we had a very colourful visitor to Renwick 3. Blue, Hayz's bird, came to see us. Blue was very gentle and friendly. He comes from the parrot family and is a vegetarian. Although he did enjoy nibbling Hayz's ear!

On Friday we got together with our buddies and did some printmaking using our hands. We used orange to symbolise 'Hands up for Learning'.

Next week...
Our sounds will be h/r or ng/v.
Our words will be are/down or where/they.
During maths time our class focus is reading and writing numerals.
This Wednesday we are off to the Suter Art Gallery to view an exhibition. I will require parent help to make this trip successful as there is a hands on component which the children will need assistance with. Please let me know if you are able to help.
We are now completing 2 laps of the front field for our cross country training. This is our final 'build up' for the big day! The children are and doing very well. I am aware we have a few reluctant runners. I encourage the children to take part and be proud of what they have achieved. The race is only ever about challenging yourself not always others.
As the winter months are upon us I am asking the children to remove muddy shoes before entering the class room. It is very helpful for me if they are able to independently put their shoes back on before going outside again. If your child wears lace up shoes can you please assist by helping them learn how to tie laces. Alternatively you can purchase 'stretchy' laces that will hold the shoe on without having to tie laces.
Have a happy and safe week!
