More Certificates!

 Room 13 had some more certificates given out on Friday! 

These children have all been using their GEMS in their learning and they have now completed the Quick60 programme. Well done everyone!

Room 13 Superstars

We had some superstars in Room 13 last week! 

Since we are not having any assemblies right now, we had our own little celebration in our classroom to recognise some students who have been working super hard over the past few weeks. 

Jeremy, Zoey and Nuveena all received certificates for using their Sunnyhills GEMS!

Keep up the fantastic work!

Days of the Week in Te Reo Maori

 This week is Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori - Maori Language Week. 

Room 13 have been learning the days of the week using this song. We are also trying to learn the sign language that goes along with it. 

We Are Back!

 We are back at school this week after another lockdown. 

Room 13 have enjoyed getting back into our learning and seeing all our friends again!

Another Superstar!

Congratulations to Dina who got a Principal's Award last week at assembly!

She always demonstrates the Growth GEM by being positive and asking lots of questions.

Go Dina!

Our First Week Back!

Have a look through the slides below to see some of the things we got up to this week!

Kowhai Whanau Assembly Week 6

Last Friday Room 13 presented some of our learning at the Kowhai Whanau assembly. 

Our inquiry topic is about the ocean so we all chose a sea animal to research. 

We used a couple of different websites to search, read information and watch videos to find interesting facts about our chosen animal. 

We then painted a blue background and cut out our animal to create the artwork. 

Have a look at a few of them below.

We also had some superstars receive certificates at the assembly. 

Well done to Olive, Jacob and Senumi for all their hard work and positive attitudes over the past few weeks.

Our First Buddy Class

On Friday we had our first buddy class for the year. We are super lucky this year and we have two buddy classes! We have buddies from Room 1 (year 6) and Room 9a (year 1). 

We met our buddies and spent some time getting to know each other and drawing some pictures together. 

We are super excited to spend time with our buddies more throughout the year! 

STEM Challenge

Last week we did our first STEM challenge for the year. Our challenge was to construct a table that could hold a pencil for at least 15 seconds. 

We were only allowed one piece of A4 paper, scissors, and glue. 

We started out by planning our design with our team. 

Once we had an idea of how we were going to create it, we got started. 

We found that it was very tricky to get the paper to stand up like a table but we all got there in the end! 

Here are the photos of our final products. 

Our First Kowhai Assembly

Last Friday morning, the Kowhai Whanau had their first assembly. 

It was wonderful to have some of the other Year 3 and Year 4 classes share their learning with us. 

Well done to Eric and Kavya who both received certificates. Keep up the awesome work!

Our First Day!

Today was our first day in Room 13.

We had a wonderful day getting to know each other, meeting the teachers in the Kowhai Whanau and going for a swim in the pool!

Here are pictures of us on our first day of Year 3!
