Bob the Pineapple does the gardening!

Last days of school! And the new new!

Here is Charlie using the old bike boxes with some of the other children of Essential Workers at our school on the last couple of days. They made a fort then a very intricate maze - it was fantastic!

Are these your drawings William? There are some lovely messages out there if you happen to see any take a pic and email me them to me! I've seen lots of bears in windows which cheers people up in your street! If you are doing that can you please take a picture and email it to me too?

Have a go and challenge yourself! What has been happening in R11 during this last fortnight?

Swimming with the whole Kowhai Carnival!

 Our Oceans Inquiry wall starts to take shape! Can you see which creatures we THINK live in each layer of the ocean? We are going to be doing some research about this soon. Right now we are exploring and starting to make meaning and connections.

 To help us get thinking and explore the Oceans, Riley from Young Ocean Explorers gave a talk about her role in filming and sharing our unique New Zealand sea life right outside our city in the Hauraki Gulf! 

 Mrs Harding has been teaching us Te Reo and we have been practicing our vowels sounds, greetings and recapping knowledge from last year.

 Evelyn was our CEO today which we all take turns at being and did a great job of taking the roll for Mrs Trembath.

 Maths games and place value games to 1000 are keeping us busy in our Number work. Here Jayden is so excited to win his 3 digit dice game where you move 3 dice around to make numbers fit before or after each other. 

Inquiry in Reading - Using our own Learning Pathway

 We are thinking about our Sunnyhills Learning Pathway 

Here we are Reading with the Get Thinking part of the pathway
Reading a book together - we all talk about the story and listen to eachother's ideas.

Now we are Exploring a Non Fiction text - Camouflage.

The children can read the book by themselves or with a buddy. They can listen to the text read aloud via an audio link on the Drive. This helps those who need to decode the new vocabulary.

Now using the same book, we are reading the text to find out facts about endemic species in New Zealand. Making Meaning and Connections! 
Next we will share our findings on the drive in the slides - hope you have checked out our work, parents! Let us Share and Shine with you!

Fabulous Room 11! What more do we need to say!

Worm Bin Monitors In R11.

Look at these fantastic Worm Bin monitors! After lunch they empty the bins from Koru, Kowhai and Kauri areas to top up the school worm farm. We know that there hasn't been a lot of rain so we are topping up the farm with water and card to keep moisture in. 

Don't worry we drink our water first and then refill the drink bottles and even use the garden hose!
