Week 2, Term 4

To begin the term we have been learning how to be Sunsmart. The children have very sound knowledge on the harmful effects that the sun can have on us. We created some colourful hats by weaving paper.


This week we had our second tennis coaching session. It was tricky stuff! But true to form we didn't give up we just kept on trying.

As you may have heard we had 5 children 'graduate' to Renwick 2 last Friday! It is not the normal practise of the Kowhai syndicate to move children part way through the year and this decision was not made lightly. We are in the tricky situation where the amount of children enrolled to start school this term does not warrant another class. We considered a number of options and felt this was the least disruptive for the majority of children.

Next week...
Our words will be a/the or walk/want. Our sounds will be 'e' or the long u vowel.
During maths we are recapping on patterns to 5 and 10.
This week we will start our Keeping Ourselves Safe. We will start off the program ensuring children know their address and phone number, followed by discussing feelings. On Thursday Constable John will join us to take a session on touch. If you have any questions or queries please do not hesitate to see me.
We have our final Grasshopper tennis session on Wednesday with the coach. From there on in it will be me taking the sessions.
At the end of the year we will be having a Kowhai production at the School of Music. We have started learning songs and actions so prepare yourselves for an extravaganza!
Have a happy and safe week.
