WALT - Use speech marks

Last week we had some special guests come into Team 15. 

Gnomeo and Doug.

Gnomeo and Doug are two gnomes that the Sunnyhills teachers have been taking on adventures.

When they came to Team 15, the children used them to help us write some conversations between 2 or more people using correct punctuation.

We were super successful in creating conversations. It was a little tricky to put the punctuation in the correct places. We are learning fast though!

See Chloe's writing below.

Gnomeo & Doug

By Chloe

It all began on a sunny Sunday morning when a delivery truck rumbled down past my house, when suddenly…The doorbell rang and it was ear-splitting, it never stopped! I finally was able to dash to the door and outside stood Doug and Gnomeo!

“Hey there Chloe!” cried Doug.

“Um hi” I replied confused. After a while I suddenly realised! “Now, I  know what you want to do, you want to play at the park!” I exclaimed.

“Let’s go!” cried Gnomeo. When we got there we had a picnic and played until we were exhausted.

Happy Mothers Day

Here is Team 15 signing 'Happy Mothers Day' in New Zealand Sign Language:

Hope you all have an awesome day on Sunday!

 Sunnyhills GEMS Learning Power - Self Belief

Last week we started to look at and discuss the Term 2 GEMS learning power of Self Belief. 

Mrs Grant told us this was the learning power for this term. We worked in groups to brainstorm what we thought this learning power might look like, feel like and sound like. If we saw or heard someone using this learning power what might they look like or sound like.

Here a a few pictures sharing us collaborating and brainstorming these ideas. 

Make sure you check our blog again soon to see more about this wonderful Sunnyhills GEM learning power!

Let's Play Rippa Rugby

On Tuesday afternoon all the Year 3 and 4 children participate in sport. 

This week Team 15 were learning the skills of and playing Rippa Rugby.

We learnt that we must pass the rugby ball backwards and we all have to work as a team to get the ball up the field to score a try.

The Rippa Rugby rips are pretty hard to rip off.

We all had a load of fun in the sunshine playing Rippa Rugby with Mrs Grant

Here we are practising our passing.

Ask us to show you how to play and how to pass a rugby ball. We are all experts now!
