Merry Christmas!

Thank you so much for a fantastic year in Room 13. I am so proud of how far the children have come and how much they have achieved! 

The photos below are from Room 13's first day of school and then their last day of school. It's so lovely to see how much they have changed!

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Stay safe and I hope to see you all around school next year. 

Koru Whanau Celebration Assembly

Last week we had the Koru Whanau celebration assembly. Every class performed an item and there were some special certificates given out. 

Ashley and Harry both received Learning for Life
Awards and Callum and Iyra both received a GEMS Values Award. 

Room 13 also performed a Christmas song in the assembly. I didn't get a video of it on the day but they got to perform again at the end of last week and Miss Fullard took a video of it. 

I was so proud of how well they did!

Certificates!

Earlier in the week Samantha, Emily, Elsa and Harry received certificates for finishing Quick 60!

At our whole school assembly on Friday Jerry was given a certificate for his Yearbook design. He was the Year 1 winner!

Miranda received a Principal's Award for the Empathy she shows towards her friends. Amazing!

Well done to all of you! 

Athletics Day

Last Friday we had our Junior Athletics Day. It was such a fun day in the sun. 

We had lots of different activities to do such as running races, hurdles, long jump and skipping. 

Check out the photos below to see us in action!

Hula Hoop Fun

Yesterday we went out in the sun with our buddy class. We all had a hula hoop and were showing each other the cool tricks we could do.

Some Room 13 children were so good at doing the hula hoop and so they were teaching Miss Stulhmann and Miss Bycroft how to do it!

We had a lot of fun!

Congratulations Jackson!

At our last whole school assembly, Jackson received the Principal's award for always showing empathy towards his friends. 

Well done Jackson!

A Fantastic Assembly

Last Friday Samantha and Kayden received certificates at the Koru Whanau assembly. They have been working so hard with everything they do!

Room 13 also showed their firework art to everyone. Some children read their stories out. We have been trying to add adjectives to our writing and we were able to use so many when writing about fireworks! 

Bike Track Fun!

Last week we got to have our first try on the new bike track! 
We had such an awesome time on our bikes and scooters. 

Today it was the official opening of our bike track. Jackson was chosen to ride around the track behind Mrs Venville after she cut the ribbon. It was so exciting!

We Went to The Auckland Zoo!

On Thursday the Koru Whanau went to The Auckland Zoo.

We were so excited to see the tuatara and the kiwi as we had learned lots about them in class before the trip.
We all did lots of walking and searching for the animals that were trying to hide from us. 
We loved the zoo!

This Weeks Certificate

This week at the whole school assembly Emme received a certificate for the empathy she shows her peers.

Keep shining Emme!

Book Character Day

In the last week of Term 3, Sunnyhills celebrated Literacy Week. 

At the end of the week we had a Book Character Parade. Here is a photo of us in our amazing costumes.

Check out the photos below to see what else we got up to on Book Character Day.

Literacy Week was so much fun!

Look at Harry taking the rubbish out as part of Service September. 

Keep up the great work!

Poetry Festival

Today we had the Koru Whanau Poetry Festival. 

Three children from each class were picked to say their poem in the hall. 

Callum, Yasmin and Ashley did such a fantastic job saying their poems in front of all those people!

At the end they all received their certificates.

Service September

Wow look at all the work Maddox has been putting in for Service September! 

You rock!!

Making Pizza

On Friday we made pizza with our buddy class. 

In the morning we made the pizza dough. Our buddies helped us measure out all the ingredients and mix them together to make the dough. 

Then after morning tea we rolled out the dough and put our toppings on. 

Our Room 6 buddies were amazing and they even delivered our pizzas to our classroom ready for lunch! 

We noticed that some of our pizza had been cut into quarters and we talked about how it would have been cut into halves first. 
What a fun way to learn about fractions!

Thanks Miss Stulhmann and Room 6 for an awesome day!

Congratulations William!

Well done to William who has completed the Quick 60 programme this year. 

You've done so well!

Drawing Shapes

This week for buddy class we went outside with some chalk and drew some shapes. 

Our big buddies helped us write the names of the shapes as well. 

We had a wonderful time drawing on the concrete!

Certificates!

Last Friday Yasmin and Harry received certificates. They have both been putting in so much effort and achieving their goals!

Well done Yasmin and Harry!

Buddy Class Fun!

Last Friday we spent some time practising our large ball skills. 

We got together with our buddies and tried to throw, catch, kick and bounce the balls.

Our big buddies were such good helpers and we had so much fun!

Days of the Week in Te Reo Māori

For the past two weeks, we have been learning the days of the week in Te Reo Māori. 

Mrs Harding taught us a song to help us remember the days. 

Check out the video of us singing. We are so awesome!

Assembly Certificates

This week at the Koru Whanau assembly Annabelle and Kiyaan received certificates for all the effort they've been putting into their Reading and Writing. 

Well done!

Buddy Class Science Experiment

This week for buddy class we went to Room 6 to watch them do a science experiment. 

They put skittles around the edge of a bowl and then added water. We were so amazed at how all the colours went into the middle of the bowl. 

After that, we all read one of our books to our buddies. 

What a fun Friday we had with our buddies!

Koru Whanau Disco

On Friday we had the Koru Whanau disco. 

We had so much fun dancing along to all the songs. 

Room 13 had some fantastic dance moves!
