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!!!

Gingerbread Baking

At the end of the term we made Gingerbread with the help of Beth Morris as a follow up to the theatre group that visited the school.

Friday Challenge - paper planes

Mrs Dijkstra picked up a Smiggles Paper Plane Kit for $2 at the op shop. Our challenge was to construct a plane and decorate it. We tried flying them, but as we launched them into the wind, some of the planes landed in a tree. Whilst not altogether successful, there were lessons for the learning.

Mrs Dijkstra hopes that they fly better at home!

Celebrating Chinese New Year at Sunnyhills School

 We had visitors come to the school to tell us about and demonstrate "The Lion Dance"  It was really interesting and skillful. Some children including Hayley were given the opportunity to play the cymbals. Mrs Dijkstra loved the drums. They reminded her of the Olympics opening ceremony in Beijing where there were one thousand of those drums. They were AMAZING!

Mrs Dijkstra was very proud of these children who wore their Traditional costume to school to celebrate their culture. Everyone in the class made an origami pig to take home.

 We had a special day!

We went on to make our own dragons. Check out the display in our classrrom!

A Cup Challenge

Last Friday we worked in a group of four pulling on our string to stretch the rubber band so that we could move the cups from the floor to the top of the stool. We had to work as a team and problem solve to get the job done. There was some smart thinking.
