Week 8 in Room 9 and 9a

We had a busy week last week. Here is what we got up to.

 

Lily and Olivia received Mana certificates in the assembly. Well done girls!

We had a great time in the pool on Monday.

On Thursday Room 9 did some Santa crafts with our pre-school visitors who will be starting school at the beginning of next year.

Awesome beard curling on your Santa, Caleb!

On Friday Room 9's Year 6 Buddies surprised them with handmade Christmas cards and letters!!

We are so lucky to have such kind, caring and creative role models in the school. We will miss you next year Buddies!!

 

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's house

Olivia's Dad is a great baker and has been teaching Olivia how to bake. This week they made a delicious chocolate cake and decorated it with lots of treats. It was very tasty!

Olivia did a taste test with her Dad, where she tried different foods blind folded and had to guess what they were. She had a piece of carrot, cheese, maple syrup and a skittle. The maple syrup was her favourite. 

Olivia also drew a picture and wrote about What am I?

I am fluffy, I meow. I am a cat called Mia. 

Olivia also drew a picture of Sunnyhills School which she misses very much. 

The last pictures are of the avocado seeds that Olivia planted during the first Lockdown! As you can see they have started to sprout. We think we will plant some more avocado seeds this Lockdown too!

You have been very busy Olivia but you look like you've had lots of fun too.

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!
