Visiting the chicks in Room 3 - Year 5 and 6 with Mrs Fowler

Here are the cute tiny little chicks who have just hatched this week in Room 3!

The lovely Mrs Fowler and Room 3 talked to R20 about how they had taken care of the eggs in the incubator. Now they are taking care of the newly hatched chicks.

Here are the last 2 eggs ready to hatch. They are keeping warm inside an incubator.

The children in Room 3 shared their knowledge and understanding of how to care for the eggs and chicks. We really enjoyed looking at their digital presentations which they have been working on independently. 

Thank you everyone for sharing your learning and your wonderful chicks. The chicks are tired out now and need a nap!

Musicians in the Making!

Eric played his violin for us. He has only been learning for 7 months and he played Twinkle twinkle little star.

Eric enjoys playing the violin and we loved hearing him play, thank you Eric's Mum for bringing it in to school!

Ceska is about to start learning how to play the violin. She showed us how to hold the instrument. Ceska and Eric told us what the different parts of the violin are called.

ANZAC Day 25th April 2015 How is Sunnyhills School remembering the soldiers who were ANZAC Soldiers many years ago?

Room 20 are standing next to 30 White Crosses representing some of the New Zealand Soldiers who were very brave and fought with other Soldiers from Australia in a Battle at Gallipoli a long time ago in 1915. These crosses are next to our school's office and you can come and see them. Other schools in Auckland are doing the same. At school we can learn about New Zealand's history and ANZAC Day is a very important part of our history.

 Please talk about this day at home so that the children can understand a little about why we have a Holiday for
 ANZAC Day.

We made our own poppies as a way of remembering ANZAC Day. They are hanging in our classroom as our own field of Poppies.

Can you answer these questions? 

Why do people wear poppies this week?

What does ANZAC stand for?

What do you know about ANZAC Day? Is anyone going to attend an ANZAC parade or Dawn Ceremony? If so please  tell us about it next week.

Congratulations Antony on your Junior Assembly Award!

Super shapes maths Antony!

Congratulations to our Principal's Award student this week!

A super start this term to your story writing Finlay!!

Celebrating Chinese New Year with our Buddy Class Room 16.

Room 16 are a Year 3 class. They are our buddies in the Middle School. We have spent some time with them reading books, singing new songs, and making tangram pictures for Chinese New Year.

Celebrating Filling Our Bucketful of Happiness!

We have been thinking about how we can be kind and caring towards one another. Every time someone does something to show how they care for a classmate a special card is put into our 'Bucket' at the front of the classroom. This week Room 20 filled the bucket up and Mrs Trembath was so proud of them that she took Room 20 outside to play in the shade with lots of bubbles!
