Kowhai Whanau Assembly

 On Friday we had a Kowhai Whanau assembly.

Room 13 was able to share some of their art and writing. 

Here is a photo of us with our cats and our character descriptions. 

Mrs Steel was so impressed with our work that she came down after the assembly and gave us all some special award stickers! 

We also had some super learners who received certificates this week. 

Well done to Yi Hang, Dylan and Elliot.

Growing Our Own Plants!

 Room 13 were lucky enough to become members of a secret club called the Little Garden League. Our mission was to plant seeds and care for them in order for them to grow. 

We need to remember to keep watering them over the school holidays so they can keep growing!

Scooter Skills

 Yesterday Room 13 had a lesson with Auckland Transport to learn some scooter skills. 

Before we even got our scooter we had to check that our helmets were safe using the 2, 4, 1 rule. 

Once our helmets were safe, we had to check that our scooter was safe to ride. 

We learned how to do emergency stops, how to use our brakes, and that we need to stop, look both ways and walk across a zebra crossing. 

We also learnt about all the things we need to be careful of when we are riding our scooters along a footpath. A really important one is to look out for sneaky driveways!

We had lots of fun learning how to ride our scooters safely.

Monday 17th August - Day 1 of Distance Learning Year 3.

Watch this video to see how to get to your new distance learning slides!

 

Distance Learning - What it will look like!

Starting Monday the 17th August we will be doing distance learning.

Please check the class blog every morning to see what I have put up. It might be a video or message from me, or some of your classmate’s work to comment on.

I will email your parents later as to when you are having a Google Meet this week with the login code, most likely Wednesday mid-morning or Thursday afternoon.

I have shared a copy of the Distance Learning slides to your Google drive in your Inquiry folder.  This is where you will do all your schoolwork. Distance Learning Slides are under the 'Learning At Home' tab, now on this blog and the Sunnyhills School website. 

You can share the work with me when it is finished and I will look at it. I will comment on some of your work and give you feedback. 

I expect you to do some of the Reading, Maths, Writing and Toys Inquiry activities on these slides by the end of the week. You can do it in any order you like. A little bit each day is fine.

You all have devices and know how to use them very well because we have learned a lot this year already. If you need help reading the instructions, ask an adult or older sister or brother to help. It does not have to be perfect but always try your best. 

If for some reason you have forgotten your google drive email or password your parents can email me and I will send it to them. Remember all of you can access your school drive on any device with this email and password. 

Enjoy doing your learning at home and have fun. Remember your GEMS and I will see you soon online. Take care.

The Howick Historical Village

 On Tuesday Room 13 went with Room 11 to the Howick Historical Village.

We had such a great time exploring activities and games that were played in the past!

Thank you so much to our parent helpers who came along for the day. 

Day 4 Distance Learning

Have a look at this super learning from Room 13 on Day 4 of our distance learning. 

Please make sure you are sending through any work you have done. I would love to see what you are getting up to at home!

Share and Shine - Day 3 Learning

I have been sent some fantastic work over the past couple of days. Room 13 have been working so hard with their distance learning! 

I will continue to post the learning I receive each day on the blog. Please remember to share your learning with me as you complete it. You can either email it to me or click on the share button at the top of your google doc or google slide. 

If you're unsure, please look at the video further down the blog which explains how to do this.

Day 3 - Friday 17th April

How to make a new file in your Google Drive and insert a photo.

Hi everyone! I have made a video to show you how to create a new file in your google drive and how to take and insert a photo into your document. If you have done some art, writing or created something else at home, you might want to use this to take a photo of your work. I have also shown you how to share your document with me when you have finished it. 

I hope this helps!

Day 2 - Thursday 16th April

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.

Structure of a Recount

In Writing, we have been learning to write recounts. To help us with structuring our recounts, we did an activity. 

First, we looked at what goes into a recount. We used this poster to help us learn the structure. 

We were then put into groups and given a recount that was all mixed up. We had to work as a team to put the piece of writing into the correct order based on what we had learnt about the structure of a recount. 

It was a bit tricky but we all got there in the end!
