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. 

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!

This is Mrs Willmoth with me today! She is teaching R11 when I am on Leadership time. Sometimes it will be a morning and sometimes an afternoon. 

This is Team 3 from Left to right:
Miss Robertson teaches in R12 on Wednesday
Mrs Turner teaches R12 on all the other days
ME
Miss Bycroft teaches R13 everyday!

Welcome to R11 and Team 3 in the Kowhai Whanau!

Hello everyone I hope you have had a wonderful holiday and are all ready for the beginning of 2020! Can I please ask that you put the Sunnyhills etap app on your mobile phones and check the Kowhai notices each evening so that you know what is happening each day at school for us. I try to put it all in there in advance.

Here are the core teachers of each Year 3 class - Myself, Mrs Trembath, R12 Mrs Turner and R13 Miss Bycroft.

Swimming is Tuesday and Thursday - please bring togs, rash shirt, cap, goggles, towel in a swimming bag and remove earrings . Watches can be left in the classroom.

Bike track day is Wednesday for R11.
