Zoo Trip

Room 24 had a wonderful Zoo trip. Thank-you to the Mum's of Ashton, Indie and Brian for accompanying us. Most of these photos are of Mrs Dijkstra's group.  The Educator talked to us about the Kiwi, Gecko, Skink and Tuatara.

Our Amazing Bedrooms

Mr Scott asked us to design an Amazing Bedroom. We were given a challenge to include at least three items eg: something for a pet, something to entertain, something to light the room. We began by brainstorming ideas with a buddy. We then drew a plan. We then learned how to attach various shapes like a spiral and a cylinder to paper by cutting tabs and using a glue stick. lastly we used these skills and our imagination to construct a 3D model. Mr Scott supplied us with a pizza box each from his work and surprised us with a variety of contents in the box like a small square of blue tac, a pipe cleaner etc.
Here we are presenting our completed rooms to Room 22. They were all truly AMAZING!!
Thank-you Mr Scott and Well Done room 24 for demonstrating the Sunnyhills School Gem - Growth- by being creative!!!

Fraction Pizza

As part of learning about Fractions, Mr Scott asked us to design a pizza made from paper. Some of us covered the whole base with sauce and cheese. Some placed ham filling on half and others had a much more random, all in together approach. They all looked yummy!

Paper Shoes

At this week's Friday Challenge Miss H read a new home reader "Mum's Shoes" In the book Mum ends up making a shoe out of paper. So we decided we would try to also. Mrs Dijkstra got some advertising fliers given to her so we used those together with masking tape, pipe cleaners and some squares of coloured paper. It was a great problem solving activity. Some children used their school shoes as an outline to  get some shape and size. We made a wide variety of styles and shapes- from boots, to slip ons to toe peepers. Miss H and Mrs Dijkstra loved our creativity, imagination and problem solving. Wonderful self belief Room 24!

Pink Shirt Day

Here are some of our class dressed in Pink on Pink Shirt Day We watched the video "Oat the Goat" who reminded us to make good choices and be kind to others.

Spaghetti and Marshmallow Structures

 Our Friday challenge this week was to work with a buddy to make a cube and pyramid using marshmallows and spaghetti noodles. The idea was to create a stable structure. Next time we hope to have more marshmallows so that we can design and build taller and bigger structures whilst keeping them stable.
