Traditional Costume

During Literacy Week children had the opportunity to come dressed in a traditional costume.
Here we have Paul, Hayley, Yihang and Mrs Zhu - all looking wonderful and celebrating their heritage.

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!

Anzac and Easter

For Easter we drew different patterns on a bunny outline. What amazing detail Molly!

For Anzac we constructed a poppy and glued it in the corner of our poem.

 We illustrated a paper bag to take home our baking in.

Mrs McElwee helped us measure out the ingredients in the morning. Here we are rolling and flattening our Anzac Biscuits. A big thank-you to Beth who took our cookies home to bake and package after discovering the oven no longer worked. They tasted delicious!!!

Nature Scavenger Hunt

                                    Here is the list of things to find and the cup to put them into

                                                        Finding three blades of grass

                                                            Finding a purple flower

                                                            Finding a glossy leaf

                                         About to find a white stone or a smooth grey stone

                                 The only pair to find a snail's shell and the snail was still inside.

On Friday after morning tea, in the beautiful weather, we had an outside Challenge. It was a Nature Scavenger Hunt. It was a fun, non academic activity. We had to find things like a sprinkle of sand and a small stick. It was a great thing to do on a gorgeous sunny day!

Friday Challenge - working with ice.

 On Friday Mrs Dijkstra gave us a challenge. We were given a cup of frozen water that had a key in it. Our challenge was to bring the key to Mrs Dijkstra and to complete the sentence " This is the key to......" Most of Room 24 smashed the ice by dropping it on the ground but some melted it using water from the tap. It was COOL!

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!
