Week 10, Term 3

To celebrate the end of term we had a 'Lemonade Party'. We made our own bottled lemonade last week...attempting to create 'gas'. We were extremely successful!! When we first made the lemonade the bottles were soft and squelchy but after leaving them in a warm place for a week they had turned rock hard! As we opened the bottle we could hear the sneaky gas escaping with a hissing sound. It tasted delicious with many of us returning for second and third helpings. We finished our tasting session with a scrumptious shared kai.

Our folk dancing display was absolutely stupendous. We had a wonderful time demonstrating all the skills we had been learning through the term. Thank you so much to all the parents, family and friends who were able to come and support us.

Next term...
Term 4 always seems to start with a tinge of sadness for me as this is the last term we will be together. I am so very proud of what the children have achieved this year. They have all come such a long way and I feel honoured to have been a part of that journey with them. Thank you for all your support.
On Monday we are delighted to welcome a new friend to Renwick 3, Ayla Davis. Ayla has recently returned from the U.K. with her family.
A little bird also told me that we now have two six year olds in Renwick 3! Where does the time go??
Over the next few weeks we will be looking at long vowel sounds during reading time. Our tricky words will be any & before.
During maths we will be focusing on number knowledge.
We have a busy term topic wise. We start by looking at being Sun Smart. This is a timely reminder for children to remember sunhats and to stay safe in the sun. We then go onto Keeping Ourselves Safe. More information will follow on this topic. We end the term by studying Night and Day/Shadows.
Our P.E. focus is run, jump and throw. We have timetabled swimming but this depends on the weather and temperature of the water in the pool.
I hope you have all had a wonderful break and I look forward to seeing everyone happy faces on Monday.
