Making music with Ti Rakau sticks

Room 11 spent the afternoon learning to follow the song 
and patterns using ti rakau sticks.

First we made the ti rakau sticks by rolling newspaper or magazines tightly 

and sellotaping them together.

Next we had to break the song down into patterns and learn each pattern separately before them altogether to perform the song. Some patterns were harder 

than others, but we got there!

Watch our awesome performance below.

Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple visit

The Sunnyhills Senior School were invited to the Fo Guang Shan Temple in Flat Bush.

There were lots of activities and amazing things to do and see such as;

Chinese Calligraphy

The Wishing Wall

Bathing the Buddha

Ringing the Wishing Bell

Police Community talk

 

        

 

We had a great day and thank you to Pete and Vina for coming along an being our parent and Nana helpers. We couldn't have gone without you!

Our Class Mihimihi's

Room 11 has been busy in Term 1 making a Google Tour of their Mihimihi 
using Tour Builder.

What is Google Tour Builder?

Tour Builder is a new way to show our Mihimihi on as it shows the places around the world and where we come from using Google Earth. It let us pick our locations right on the map, add in photos, text, and video, and then share your creation.


We had to learn lots of new digital skills such as taking photo's, searching up images 
and taking screenshots on our devices, saving and uploading them onto Tour Builder 
plus many more!

Check out our awesome Mihimihi's

Just click on the box at the top right hand side (as per image below) and click 

'Play full screen' to view the Google Tour. Now sit back and enjoy!

Year 5 EOTC trips

In Week 4 of Term 1, the Year 5's went on their EOTC trip to Eastern Beach and to Tree Adventures.

We had a great time on both days and were lucky to have the support of lots of parents and family on both days. Luckily the weather held out and was pretty close to perfect on both days.

There was lots of learning and pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone, 

as well as fun, laughter from ALL involved!

Check out our trip to Eastern Beach below.

Check out our trip to Tree Adventures below.

Breezy Summer days...

During this hot humid weather we've been having, we decided that because we couldn't go to the beach, then we'd bring the beach to Room 11!

We used mixed media to give our art a 3D effect. First we ripped coloured 

paper and layered it up like waves and then we did the same to textured 

paper to imitate sand.

Next we designed and coloured in our 'Kiwi Summer Jandals', then we glued then onto corrugated card. Lastly we glued the sandals on to the 'sand'.

Look at our materpieces!
