Week 5, Term 3

Our friends from the Fire Department came to visit us this week with their fire engine. We got to look in all the cupboards and climb on board.


This week we went to the Museum to look and talk about precious things. We were learning to use describing words. Nicki had a friend's old pocket watch which we were able to come up with lots of wonderful describing words for.


During P.E. we are learning to skip. We are able to jump quite high using two feet!



Next Week...
Our sounds will be ch, sh, dge
Our words will be she, should and goes.
During maths time we are looking at fractions, 1/2's & 1/4's.
This week we will be starting our new Inquiry Topic 'What's the Matter?'. We will be looking at common materials to observe changes that occur when heated or cooled.
On Tuesday I am on a professional development course for maths. Sam will be teaching in Renwick 3 for the day.
On Thursday we have a class trip to the Nelson Elma Turner Library. If your child has a library card they are able to bring it with them to take out books. The session should last for about an hour. We will be leaving at 10.45am and will return by 12.15pm. Please complete and return the consent form sent home earlier this week.
We are having a big school focus on no play fighting. We have discussed it at length in the classroom and at assemblies. I want to ensure that the children's environment is safe both inside and outside the classroom.
Have a happy and safe week!
