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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

Ball Skills

Yesterday Room 13 went outside to work on our ball skills. 

We practised throwing the ball up into the air and catching it. 

We also tried bouncing the ball to our partner. 

We had a lot of fun out in the sunshine!

Oral Language - Brown Bags

This week all the children in Room 13 brought in five items that were special to them. 

Each day we have been practising our oral language skills by speaking to each other about our special item.

We used our listening skills by making sure we were looking at our partner and some of us even asked some questions. 

We did a wonderful job at sharing our items! 

2D Shapes

Yesterday we started learning about 2D shapes. 

We looked at circles, squares, triangles and rectangles. 

Here awe are drawing around these shapes and labelling them. 

Greedy Cat

For the past two weeks Room 13 have been reading different Greedy Cat books. 

We were so surprised at all the different foods that he ate!

We made our own Greedy Cat pictures and drew some yummy foods that we thought he would like. 

Here are some pictures of us painting our Greedy Cats. 

Make sure to come and have a look at them in our classroom!

Maths Games

This week we had a go at playing some Maths games. We had to count, recognise and order numbers and use dice.

Here are some photos of us working together to play the games.
