Busy Bees in Room 9a

This week we went down to our 

Sunnyhills Bee house to look at the hives and the busy bees in action. Then we learnt about how the bees make the honey. Did you know they literally vomit up the nectar from bee to bee until it is sticky and syrupy. Eeeeeew gross!

Mr Smith was even kind enough to dress up in his bee keeper suit for us to look at. 

He looked like he was about to head into space! 

The honey from our school hives has recently been harvested and made into our very own 'Sunny Honey'. 

Aren't we all clever....bees included!

Mrs Daniel is super proud of the honey our bees produce. 

We even did some awesome writing about the bees. 

Check out this piece by William which he did all by himself.

Swimming Carnival

On Wednesday we had our Swimming Carnival!

We have been practising very hard for the past few weeks  getting in and out of the pool and moving safely through the water.

We waited patiently for the loud clappers before we ran through the water.

We even pushed the ball with our nose without using our hands!!!

We had such a fun time in the pool and loved having our family watching and cheering us all on!

Writing

On Tuesday we did Writing for the very first time. 

We worked with Mrs Burge and used the butterfly cards to find words and letters to make a simple sentence. 

We found the words 'I can' on the butterfly card then sounded out the next word 'fs' for flowers etc.  

We are looking forward to the next time we write. 

Fun Friday

Jordan and Cheryl delivered the ice block orders to the office.

Ali, Lucas and William made some amazing robots from the construction toys!

Harry and Olivia F had fun playing with the dinosaurs.

Dean made Mrs Burge lots of food to eat!

We had ice blocks too! Yummy!

We had such an awesome time in the pool!

We practiced some races ready for our Koru Swimming Carnival!

Fridays are the best days!

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!
