Kiwi Tennis starts coaching the Middle Syndicate today!

Gabriel from Kiwi Tennis arrived today and started teaching us tennis skills.

 He will coach us for the next 4 weeks so remember your PE uniform on Thursdays please!
Gabriel is one of the experienced coaches that also coach at Sunnyhills Tennis Club. Gabriel is all the way from Spain so we hope to teach him about our country too.

2016 Sports Day at Sunnyhills! The weather behaved and we all had a super day!

8 year olds lining up!

7 year olds lining up!

So glad you have remembered your hats!

Ready to jump, run and try our best!

Such energy girls!

At the end of the day there were finals for all of the sprint races and there were lots of Room 20 children in those races! Fantastic fitness and such a great mindset for competitive racing today!

Hoiho is Mrs Trembath's House and we all cheered our loudest! The Senior relays were so exciting to watch. I know there were nervous runners out there.

Hoiho Senior Girls came 1st and we were so proud!

The boys' relay was very competitive and Hoiho came 3rd - well done boys for stepping up to represent us, I know you practiced a lot during the days leading up to the Sports Day.

Room 20 really enjoyed their day - they were excited and energised. Congratulations to you all for being great sports people and encouraging each other at all times!

Drum Roll Please! Our Stadium is complete! Now to use it!

The secret material has been revealed - Bubble Wrap! To create the Water effect we saw in our study of the Water Cube and to let light into our space, bubble wrap seemed to be the best material - all 30 metres of it! So the maths, technology and group problem solving skills have now been extended this week and we have a new and interesting space to work in.

Rollercoaster rides on Google Cardboard

A Moment in Time (Writing)

How can you imagine something if you haven't been there yourself?
Using the Google Cardboard app each child has had the opportunity to experience a ride on a roller coaster through virtual reality on a Smart Phone!

The Sunnyhills Star News! The Weather!

Today we had Weather Reports using our Interactive Whiteboard.

Chloe T and Chloe C and Krish wrote the day, date and year on the laptop and then a few people had a first go at choosing the weather on the slide show.

 

Olivia and Jacob dressed up a bit to get into 'character'! Do you agree with Weather Reporters today? Did they get it right? 

Room 20 see if you can find out what the weather report will be for Tuesday and share it with us tomorrow.

When we have had time to practice what to say and what to include in our Weather Reports we will record them for you. Watch out TVNZ!!

Next we made delicious versions of Marvellous Medicine with Soda, Vanilla Ice Cream and a sprinkling of marshmallows!

A drop of yellow or green food colouring for that extra sparkle!

Delicious!!

Literacy Week Begins!

Roald Dahl wrote many children's story books which have been read all over the world. We have been reading George's Marvellous Medicine. Today we made our own "medicine" with the help of Brodie's Mum, Ms Medland and Jessica's Dad, Mr Armstrong. Thank you both for giving Mrs Trembath a hand!

What do you see we have used to make George's Medicine for his Grandma?
