Badminton

Yesterday we teamed up with Room 12 and tried our hand at badminton. We listened very carefully to instructions and showed fabulous balance, co-ordination and persistence.

What did your child like the best about this experience?

Hungry Caterpillars and Finding our Feet in Room 11

Last week Room 11 combined with Room 12 to learn all about 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' by Eric Carle. Thanks to Mrs Nelson (who is very crafty) we had a HUGE range of awesome learning experiences.

We made cool caterpillar hats.  Here we are wearing them...

Then we made our very own hungry caterpillar. They are now hanging out in Room 11. We have to remember to feed (water) them every day so that they start to grow their fur. It was so much fun and we listened very carefully to instructions.

Throughout the week, we had to D.E.A.R (Drop Everything And Read) every time we heard the special 'ding-dong' over the loud speaker. Room 11 are fantastic readers and had a great time exploring new genre.

In amongst it all Stu Duval (our 'author in residence') gave us some tips on how to draw. Now we can be illustrators of our very own stories. 

Mrs Harding helped us with our Art. Here we are dying our T.Shirts. Have a look next time you come into the classroom. They are hanging up and look totally awesome.

We are getting pretty good at forming our letters properly. Here we are doing some sensory handwriting with shaving foam. Not only are we doing great learning, but we are cleaning the tables and making the class smell great at the same time. Ha ha.

My gosh! So much done in just one week.

Great job Room 11!

Welcome to Room 11

What a fantastic first week we have had in Room 11. A special welcome to Yi Hang, Theo and Oscar who are brand new to Sunnyhills School. We hope you love it here as much as we do!

This is them getting ready to go for a walk around the school

On Monday we met Mrs Turner (our teacher on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) until the end of term, and our R12 friends who will be hanging with us for 5 weeks; Olive, Sophie, Jeremy, Jacob, Michelle and Leona. We were also very lucky to meet our Teacher Mrs Divers who will be joining us Term 4.

On Thursday we met the beautiful Mrs Harding. She is teaching us Thursday and Fridays.

We did sooooo much learning in just ONE week!

Our sound of the week was 'b'. Here we are practising how to form the letter 'b' correctly. It is important to start from the top. We are proud of how persistent Team 11 were at trying to get it right!

Can you think of any words that have the 'b' sound in them?

We familiarised ourselves with the classroom. 

Here we are creating words and sentences with the magnetic letters.

Yi Hang is testing the consistency of the play-dough

Oscar and Theo are learning how to play the Alphabet game - they are pretty clever at matching the sound to the picture.

Here we all are eating our lunch inside because of the rain. Luckily it stopped for a bit so we all got outside to play in the fresh air.

Ka Pai on your first week Room 11!
