Week 3 Term 4

On Friday of this week we had a dress up day to raise money for the 'Make a Wish Foundation'. The school had a fun day while raising over $250 for a great cause.

On Thursday we were treated a performance by the Te Pouahi group who are traveling to the North Island for a Kapa Haka competition. It was held in the St Josephs's school hall. They were simply amazing! We have listened to them practise tirelessly on the back field for a number of months now. We admire their commitment and dedication. We feel proud of them.
On Thursday evening there was another dress rehearsal at the boy’s college. Again there were many more spine tingling moments and lots of very 'sweaty eyes'! We wish them well but to be honest they are already winners in our eyes!

Over the last couple of weeks we have been having tennis skills sessions with Andre and Ben. We have thoroughly enjoyed these. We have one more session to go and Neroli is going to try hard to remember her camera!

Next week... 

During literacy time we are focusing on word endings, ed, ing and s.
Our tricky words are does/everyone.
We will continue with skip counting in 5's.
Thank you to those parents who have responded to our survey in regard to fundraising activities. we really appreciate your feedback and input.

Go the All Blacks!

Have a happy and safe week!

Week 1 Term 4

Welcome Back to Term 4!
We have had a fabulous first week back at school!
At the beginning of the week we welcomed our new principal Whaea Pip with a powhiri. In Renwick 3 we have also welcomed a new friend Felix.

On Tuesday we had Fundamental Skills with our new teacher Brodie. We were learning how to land properly when we are doing long jump. It is called the 'motorbike position'.





 During Discovery Time this week we made some cool tents out of sheets and the tables!




The highlight of the week would have to have been the Masked Parade! We were very excited to be there after all our hard work. On the actual evening it was very hot and we had to wait a very long time before we started walking but as you would imagine we were awesome! Neroli was super proud of us.

 


Next week...
Our sound will be kn.
Our tricky words will be more/new.
During maths we will continue with counting back from 20.
On Tuesday we welcome ERO to our school with a powhiri. They will be with us until Thursday.
We have tennis lessons on Wednesday and Thursday.

Have a happy and safe week!
