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!!

 

The Giant Walk

On Friday the whole school enjoyed the Giant Walk to the Snakes and Ladders park.

 

Room 9 had their Room 1 Buddies and Room 9a had their Room 13 Buddies to walk with as well as lots of parents and grandparents.

It was awesome having the Police dog and Wanda the school bus walk with us!

We did really well walking all that way with our little legs!

Lucky we had Mrs Venville shining bright in the front with her fluro safety vest to guide the way!

Thank you to all the helpers on the day, it was lots of fun!

Room 9 have been busy in Enviro with Mrs Daniel

Sunnyhills School Environmental Blog: Room 9 Exploring our Spring Garden: Room 9 have been exploring our Spring garden and the importance of garden creepy crawlies. Do you have a vege patch and compost at home?

Room 9 makes face masks out of socks!

On Monday Room 9 were learning about good germs and bad germs. Sometimes we might need to wear a mask to keep us away from the bad germs so we made face masks!

We didn't need a sewing machine or even any fabric! We used socks and scissors to make these! 

Mrs Harding kindly donated a whole bag full of odd socks that had lost their other half and don't worry they were all clean!! 😁

Lucy had a go at retelling the story of the Wishgranter. Lucy found this a bit challenging but she perservered and has done a fantasic job!

Noah has been doing some reading and story telling at home.

When the weather was brighter Noah and his family headed to the beach to look for crabs. That looks like a fun outing Noah!

 He told his mum some facts about monkeys and then he wrote them down.

Indigo has been learning about volcanoes and paper mache! Check out this awesome volcano she made with her Dad!

Yummy! How do you eat your grapefruit Aelene?

Fiona has been using the reading website Starfall at home.

Friday 21st August

 Ata marie from Miss Robertson.

Have a great weekend everyone! 

Home learning and school bubble learning

Issy has been working from the GEMS slide. She has been helping at home by collecting the newspapers and letters from the letter box.

Issy has made a poster showing all the things she likes about school. I am very happy to see that Miss Robertson is featured!

Lucy has made this awesome game with her Dad. Its called "Tilt to win". You have to tilt the box to try and roll the ball into the tubes and see how many points you can get in one minute. Lucy's record is 257 points!!! Woah that is awesome Lucy. Very inventive!

Lucy has been practising her phonics and reading each day and she wrote a card to post to her Nana. That is such a good idea Lucy, I bet your Nana will LOVE receiving it!!

Tohu has been practising his skip counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. Check out his awesome efforts this morning working all by himself!

Eve had a bit of a sad beginning to her week saying goodbye to her Au pair. But Eve has a new Nanny now and look at these delicious treats they have made together!!

I will be sure to follow this recipe for Afghans Eve! They look so yummy and I must say the decorations are especially amazing!!

💫

Issy has been making daffodil flowers out of a Lego bag!

Good thinking Issy. What a wonderful way to recycle your Lego bag! Such a beautiful daffodil, all ready for Daffodil Day!

Guess what?! I was at school today supervising the school bubble and we made daffodils too!

It was so lovely to see Luca again! He made a daffodil with Charlie, Theo and Yasmin today. 

We made them out of yellow and orange crepe paper and skewer sticks wrapped in green crepe paper.

Maybe you would like to have a go at making some at home?

Here is the link to teach you how.

Thank you for all the awesome work today everyone! See you tomorrow!

Miss Robertson😺

 

Home and School Learning from Indigo, Issy, Aelene, Noah, Tohu and Luca

When the sun was shinning Indigo was out on her scooter doing some clever balancing tricks!

Indigo has enjoyed working on the Reading Eggs app on her iPad too!

Indigo has also been playing pretend. Here she is pretending to be her Mum working from home and taking video calls! Indigo you almost had me fooled for you Mum!

Issy has used the GEMS slide growth to become an inventor and create a new machine!

Can you see what kind of machine Issy has invented??

I think Room 9 could do with having a "Tidy Tainui 2000" in our class! What do you think??

Issy has used the writing slide to make a recipe for her favourite food. Mmmmm pancakes they are one of my favourites too!

Aelene has been practising her maths at home.

Wow! You are so clever Aelene, those are some tricky problems!

Noah has been busy at home learning about aroha and practising his writing.

He has chosen the writing slide to describe his favourite animal. Can you guess what it is??

Noah has been practising his reading too. Watch the video below to see how he is using the back of his word cards.

Tohu has been working hard everyday on his reading, writing and maths. Watch the video below to see him read his own writing from today!

Luca has been at school today with Yasmin. 

Together they worked on some puzzles. They found it best to use the flat sided pieces first then the ones with corners.

Wow! I am so proud of you all for working really hard at home (and school). Give yourself a pat on the back and say.... "Marvelous me!"
