The days of the week in te reo Māori - Waiata Mai

Try out our days of the week song and play a game of bingo with your friends as Mrs Harding taught us in Te Reo today!

Team work today!

What do you think we were learning today? We had lots of fun learning a new game. It involved planning ahead and directionality. There was plenty of cheering and support from the teams to be heard!

And we are all online - Hooray!

Our subject was a Tree Hut design based on the story The Tree Hut Treaty. Mrs Trembath has been teaching us how to login to our Google Drive and this is our first activity to practice our ICT skills. Mrs Trembath is really impressed with how we persevered and believed we could do it without her help. Ka pai tamariki! You have really shown your Mana this time!

This is our first try at using Google Draw. We have played around with the tools of the app and look what we have created all by ourselves.

Get New Zealand Writing! Today a mysterious box arrived in Room 14!! What are the 13 items inside the tiny tin?

A brown box arrived for us! We are taking part in a School Kit programme involving the writing of 96 000 poems this month across New Zealand Primary Schools.

Inside a collection of writing tools and a letter suggesting what we need to do! In the box was a stack of postcards too. Our instructions are to write creative poems to send to a class in Khandallah in Wellington. Then they are going to send us something back! 

Curiouser and curiouser - a large class poster with all sorts of challenges and ideas for writing snippets of information from Sunnyhills School to Khandallah.

And finally a tiny tin with 13 items in it for sparking our creativity. But first Mrs T challenged us to guess what could be inside and tomorrow we will open the tin and see what could be in it! We can't wait!!

Music with Mrs Dowden - can you recognise the tune?

Room 14 have only had two lessons with Mrs Dowden and can already play 3 notes and follow the beat and rhythm together. Great listening and careful movement is required. Can you name the instruments they are playing too?

Playing stuck in the mud with the sprinkler! And water relays!

Our hats were getting wet so we took them off for 5 minutes and let the water rain down! Mrs Cammell got wet too. Thanks to all the Year 3 Team for setting up such a fun afternoon - and Mr Lesley for lending us the hoses.

Water play on a hot and humid afternoon!

Whaea asked: How many cups can YOUR team transfer from the bucket to the water tray without spilling it?!

Mrs Grant lines everyone up for a game of octopus - with real water!!
