Beeswax lunch wraps

During term 3, Room 11 and their buddy class; Team 8 discussed how we could 
make a difference and help our environment. 

After much discussion, we decided that we could help by stopping using plastic 
wrap in our lunchboxes and use an alternative like a Beeswax lunch wrap.

We had to research how to make them and find out what we needed.
Mrs Nelson ordered the beeswax pellets all the way from Geraldine and Mrs Turner sourced the material and pinking shears.

Next we had to work out what size the lunch wrap needed to be and measure them 
out on the material - this was trickier than we thought!

After using the pinking shears to cut out the lunch wraps we got busy making them with our buddies - this was the fun part!

Watch our slideshow to see how we made them.

Science Week @ Sunnyhills!

It's Science Week at Sunnyhills School and we were lucky to have Science in Van come along and show us some amazing things!

Room 11's Kiwiana Masks

For Arts week Room 11 looked at the work of New Zealand born artist Lester Hall as  inspiration for our art.

We used the Tiki and Kiwiana patterns and designs for our multi-media masterpieces.

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!

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!
