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!

Happy Divali to all!

Did you notice we have changed our wall paper?
There is a Rangoli pattern there now. Do you know what that is?
Where would you find one at this time of year?
They are very beautiful and are part of the Divali celebrations some Sunnyhills' School families will be taking part in this weekend.
We are going to make some Rangoli patterns of our own in the next week - they will beautify our classroom!

Vera's Dad Tim works for Waste Management!

Tim trains drivers for these trucks. He talked to us about the trucks and their jobs. 

The children from R14 invited us to come and share in the talk and watch how the truck lifts the bin.

These trucks pick up 22 tonnes a day and there are 12 trucks plus all the other commercial bins. Some of the rubbish can be recycled like wood for playgrounds, compost for gardens. 

And away we go

Such excitement!

Creative designers!

Fashion parade last minute touches!

Pakuranga Library Roadshow

The Librarians from Pakuranga Library came to school today to inspire us to use all of the wonderful library services that are free for us all to use and just down the road! 

They demonstrated how to use books with augamented reality like i-dinosaur where the book comes alive by projecting images from the book in front of you using your camera on your iPad. 

Also there are lots of activities at the Libraries in the holidays so check out their programme. 

If you have a favourite author tell a Librarian and they will find similar authors for you to try out!

Jacob participated in acting and reading a part in a play. He was called Slim! 

Sunnyhills Kapahaka rocks at the Koanga Festival at BBI!

Timothy and Olivia represented our school with great enthusiasm and we are so proud of you 2! You have practised your waiata and kanikani with the Kapahaka group all year and are amongst the youngest of our performers! 

Whaea Tearani, Tiana, Kylie and Matua Jimmy have led our tamariki beautifully and thank you to our whanau for getting us to school for our practices.
