Communication Twins

Within our Inquiry topic of Communication we have been practicing how to communicate clearly with each other. 

We had a go at sitting back to back with a buddy and giving them instructions to follow. We called this Communication Twins.

We used coloured rods and simple pictures which one person described to their buddy. The buddy then had to follow the instructions on how to create the same image without seeing it. 

When we had compared images we had a chat about whether our communication was clear enough and also how we could improve.

It was lots of fun!

Talking on a telephone is communicating

We made telephones, we cut them out and added some ribbon for the cord. 

 

Try calling a friend and having a conversation during the holidays.

Lockdown fun in Olivia A's house

 Olivia has been doing tricky puzzles! Check out her 2 photos with the Olaf puzzle, if you look from different angles he has moved! Lucky Olivia has a great eye for puzzles.

She also baked a carrot cake and wrote out the instructions.

Olivia has also been doing dance lessons via zoom which is also great for some P.E! 

Lilly has some awesome new learning and Olivia A has a challenge for the class.

Lilly and her Mum were both interested to find out that a giraffe's horns are called ossicones!

Wow Lilly! Mrs Burge did not know that giraffes horns are called ossicones either! Emily and Lydia didn't know either! Thank you for teaching us something new!

Olivia A has a challenge for her classmates...

You are good at running your tummy and patting your head Olivia. Mrs Burge tried it and could do it but she has a challenge for you too! Can you pat your tummy and rub your head???

That is very hard!!!!! Mrs Burge couldn't do it.

Can any of you guys do wither of those things??? 

Leave a comment below to tell us how you got on. 

Can you guess what Olivia's favourite animal/insect is?

 

I think your clues are telling me it is a butterfly Olivia!

Welcome to Room 9a - Day 1 February 3rd 2020!

We had lots of fun in Room 9a today. 

First of all we sang some songs. We really enjoyed Tufa Tafa! That is a class favourite.

We walked around the school to find the important things like the toilets, the field and the boat playground.

We got to know all of the Year 1 and 2 teachers during our Koru Whanau assembly in the Koru courtyard. 

We did the letter s in phonics and made some awesome sun art.

 We have Mrs Burge and Miss Robertson as our teachers.

Miss Moa is a 3rd Year student teacher who will be with us for 3 weeks, then 2 more weeks in June, then 5 weeks in September!

We are so lucky to have so many wonderful teachers. Mr Smith worked with us today too! 

Look at how proud we are to get a First Day at Sunnyhills School certificate!
