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.

Sunnyhills GEMS

 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!

Parts of Speech - Could You Sort Them?

Hey there parents and other adults,

Team 15 have been working hard on learning the difference between Nouns, Verbs and Adjectives. We are pretty sure we can explain it to you at home. Go on... test us!

Check out this vid to see the work we have put into learning about these parts of speech.

We are pretty proud.

Leave us your comments and tell us what you think.

Get N.Z. Writing

Get New Zealand Writing.

Team 15 are part of the Get N.Z writing project. 

We got a special delivery with lots of goodies that are going to help us write an amazing poem

One of the special goodies was a little tin fill with some exciting treasures that are going to inspire our poem writing.

At this stage we don't know what is in there.

We shook it and made a list in our writing books on what we think might be in there. 

Some of the suggestions were;

money

mini statues 

mini instructions

hamburgers

paper clips

nails

gems

Keep looking at our blog to see how we are going with our poem.. and to see what is in the box.

This is the special treasure box

Ice Breaking

Happy first week Team 15!

Mrs Grant and Mrs Turner are so excited to have you all in our class. We are super proud of your good manners and the way you have showed a growth mindset this week.

Here are some pictures of us getting to know each other. This occasion called for us to step out of our comfort zone and 'interview' other people in the class. We had to find out things that we didn't know about each other. Did you know that no-one in Team 15 likes the colour pink, lots of people have pets, and quite a few of us have travelled on an aeroplane?

We are looking forward to lots more collaborative activities like this one.
