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!

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!

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!

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!

Fine Motor Friday

On Friday we spent the afternoon practising our fine motor skills. We do this to help make the muscles in our fingers and hands nice and strong which helps with Writing, drawing and many other daily activities. 

To do this we had to use tongs or pegs to pick up and move small objects, we threaded string through little holes, we joined paper clips together to make a long line, we used cotton buds to paint dots and we played with playdough. 

Room 13 had so much fun. We want to do this all the time!

Buddy Class with Room 6

This term we had our first buddy class with Room 6. We all got matched up with a buddy and spent some time getting to know each other. 

We then chose a colouring page each and talked to each other while we were colouring. 

Our big buddies did such a good job of looking after us and getting to know us!

Our Lucky Last Day!

Room 13 had an awesome last day of Term 2! 

Jerry received the Self Belief Principal's Award. Well done Jerry!

We found out that Room 13 raised the most money in the Koru whanau for the Wheelathon so we all got given a special prize which was very exciting!

Harry got a prize for raising over $200 and Jackson raised over $100! 

We also ended up winning the class award and Arta and Miranda got to stand up the front and hold up the trophy. Go us!

Certificates

On Friday, Iyra and Callum both received certificates for all the effort they have been putting into their learning. Well done!

Jammies in June

On Thursday we had Jammies in June day so we all came to school in our pyjamas!

Sunnyhills collected over 300 pairs of pyjamas and raised $1255.50 for Middlemore Hospital. What a fantastic effort from the Sunnyhills community!

Certificates

This week William and Elsa received certificates. 

They have both been working hard towards their goals. 

Well done to both of you!

A Wonderful Assembly

On Friday room 13 shared their artwork at the Koru whanau assembly. 

Emme and Maddox received certificates for all the hard work they have been doing lately. 

Room 13 also won the class award for being amazing at assembly. Go us!

Te Tahawai Marae Trip

Yesterday Room 13 went to Te Tahawai Marae with Room 21. 

Room 13 also had a go at the poi dance. We have not done this in our class this year but they did an incredible job! Thanks to Room 21 for helping us out!
Have a look at the video below showing their poi dance.

Singing

Today our student teacher Dia brought her guitar into school. 

We have been learning about mood monsters so Dia changed the song to match these moods.

Have a look at the video of us below. 

First Day of 2019!

Our first day of school was wonderful! We read stories, did some singing, dancing and some drawing! 

Here are some photos of us from today.
