Buddy class Mannequin Challenge

On Friday Room 12 got together with their Buddy class Room 8 and did the Mannequin Challenge.

It was tricky to stay still but we rocked it and had lots of fun doing it!!

Check us out below! 

Skittle Rainbow

Room 12 made a Skittle rainbow today!


We put yellow, red, orange, green and purple Skittles in a circle on a plate. 

Then Mrs Nelson gently poured some cold water onto the Skittles.

Then we waited and watched the colours 'melt' together to make a rainbow!

In the end, the colours mixed together and made the water brown.

It was exciting to watch!

Mixing colours

Room 12 has been learning about Primary colours. 
We know that they are blue, yellow and red and you can't make these colours.

We did an experiment called 'Crawling colours'. 
We put red, blue and yellow dye into 3 jars and plain water into 
another two jars.

Next, we scrunched up tissues and placed one end into the jar with the 

coloured dye and the other end into the jar of plain water and then we 

watched and waited...

We watched as the primary colours 'crawled' from one jar into another 

and made secondary colours!

It was really cool watching the colours crawl.

We learnt that yellow and red make orange and that red and blue make purple!

Do Whacky Do!

Room 12 performed a play called 'Do Whacky Do' in our Junior Assembly 

this week. We practiced our parts for nearly two weeks and did a great job on the day. Mrs Nelson was very proud!

We had lots of Mums, Dads, Grandparents and family come to watch us.

Watch us perform below...

Flying high

This week Room 12 read a poem about kites flying high in the bright sky, so we decided to make and fly a kite of our own out on the school field.

The wind was just right so off we went!

Here we with our kites before we flew them on the field.

We ran around on the field with our kites soaring behind us!

Some got tangled and twisted.

We had fun running around on the field with our kites.

And some got wet on the dewy grass!

Fun and Games!

Room 12 has been learning about how to play safely in our playground.

We have also been learning how to play games and how to 

share and take turns with others in our group.

On Friday, Mrs Nelson took us outside and placed us into 4 groups. 

We were given 3 cones and 1 ball and had to work together and come up 

with a new game to play and teach our classmates.

Caitlin, Isaac, Bharun and Tenny taught us how to kick the ball between the cones. If you hit the cone, you got out.

Next, Aaron, Toia, Caprice and Sonia taught us how to kick the ball at the wall. If you kicked the cone then were out and the next person had a go.

 Then Geena, Iris, Spencer and Etienne taught us how to kick the ball at the cones. The more cones you knocked over, the more points you won.

Lastly, Jujhar, Indigo, Milana and Isla taught us how to place the ball into the cone, then throw the ball from the cone to the people in your group. If you caught the ball then you got to have a turn.

We learn't so many new games and how to share and take turns with our friends. We also learn't how to make rules and play games so that they were fair and we got to teach and play our new games together. 

What a great afternoon!

Onesies Mufti Day

It was Onesie Mufti Day on Friday. Children and Teachers came dressed 

as all sorts of strange and colourful animals!

Room 12 looking good in their Onesies.

Jump Jamming in the hall in our onesies! 

It was hot!!

Ice Magic!

Raining in Room 12...

Room 12 has been learning about 'Water' and how it 

changes from liquid to solid. 

Today we read a book about Rain and the different sounds it makes 

and this inspired us to make our own rain sounds.

...So, sit back, close your eyes and listen to 

Room 12's rain song!

Champion Class Award!

Room 12 won the Champion Class Award at the junior assembly.

We sat nicely during the whole assembly and we were super quiet. Shhhh....

We are very proud of ourselves!

Room 12 Olympics

Room 12 Olympics with our buddy class!

On Friday, Room 12 and Room 8 got together to do some Olympic events together.

We talked about sportsmanship, trying our best, helping our buddies and most of all 

- having FUN!

Getting together with our Room 8 buddies.

Lining up for our Hurdles relay event - this was fun hopping, going over and
around all the different obstacles.

Bean bag toss - we had to aim and throw bean bags into 3 hoops
that were placed at various distances.

Frisbee toss - we had to try and toss the Frisbee into a hoop.
This was tricky!

Javelin throw - this was cool fun! We got to see how far we could throw our javelin.

What a fun day and a great afternoon spent with our buddy class Room 8. Thanks for helping us and encouraging us to be our best.

Huff n, Puff-athon!

The Sunnyhills Huff n, Puff-athon!

On Friday the 12th August 2016, Room 12 and the whole of Sunnyhills school participated in the Huff n, Puff-athon to help raise money for the senior courtyard.

We came to school dressed in our house colours and ready to run! 

The sun was shining, parents and caregivers came to watch us, people were cheering 

and even some of the Teachers dressed up!

We tried our best, ran lots of laps around the courtyard and had a FUN day.

Check us out below!

ASB Getwise

Room 12 and Room 10 had a Superhero from ASB visit us 

at Sunnyhills today.

He came in to teach us all about Dollars, notes and coins!

We learn't about the different dollar notes. 

...and coins!

We also learn't what we can do with money, what's a 'need' and what's a 'want' and we learn't a good saying...

'Speed to your needs and 

wait for your wants.'

Thanks ASB Getwise!!!

Ronald McDonald visits Sunnyhills!

Sunnyhills was very lucky to have a visit from Ronald McDonald.

He came to talk us about being safe around roads and in the car. 

He was very funny!

Ronald told us how he lost his red and white, medium striped, made to measure sock! 

So Ronald went looking for it on his way to Sunnyhills School.

He told us to look our for 'sneaky driveways'. 

We need to STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN before we cross the driveway.

Then Ronald showed us how to cross at the crossing.

Katie came to show us how the Sunnyhills Road Patrol help to keep us safe 

and cross the road. 

Then Ronald showed us how to cross at the crossing with Katie's help.

And lastly, Ronald found his red and white, medium striped, made to measure sock. 

Can you guess where it was...?

Thanks Ronald for showing us how to walk on the footpath and cross the road safely. 

We are now Roadwise!
