Mandarin Lessons

The Senior Syndicate have been lucky enough to have Jim come into our classes to teach us how to speak and write in Mandarin. We have so far learned how to say hello, count up to 99 and our birth dates. We can't wait for Lesson 3 next Monday!

2016 Sunnyhills Senior School Travel Expo

Throughout the term, each student in the Senior School earned 'Hills Bills' for being awesome Sunnyhills students. During our inquiry time over the last few weeks, we got to channel our inner travel agent and design holiday packages (with different budgets), for various countries in Asia. This week was the Senior School Travel Expo, where each student got to choose a holiday package to spend their Hills Bills on. Check out our photos and stay tuned to find out which holiday package got the most votes.

Strike Percussion

Sunnyhills School was lucky enough to have three people from Strike Percussion to come and perform for us. They were incredible!  Room 5 made a Padlet showing our favourite parts of the show. Check it out here or watch the clips below.

Breakout

Today Room 5 had the challenge of using clues hidden around our classroom to help us to prevent a jewel heist. Everyone had to work together to solve puzzles and open locks. We even earned 2,000 Hills Bills each for using our problem-solving skills to 'Breakout'!

Y6 Campers

Hi everyone - our Year 6 pupils left for camp this morning with big smiles on their faces. We are sure they will have the most AMAZING time! This week Mrs Dowden is lucky to have her own year 5 pupils, plus those from Room 6 and half of the Room 7 Year 5's. We are looking at Surf Safety this week, in preparation for our trip to Piha on Thursday.

Below are some of our name acrostic poems which we wrote in week one. Hope you enjoy reading them!
