SVA Community Guardians

This term, Team 5 are volunteering their services by taking part in a community project. We are in the 'Get Thinking' stage of the inquiry process, where we need to FIND the perfect project we can go forth and make a change in a community with.

We are interested in hearing from our families and friends and the wider community to find out what they think would be a good project for us to do for our community.

Please feel free to comment with any ideas you or your family come up with below. Let's make a change together!

Science Week @ Sunnyhills!

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.

Lest we forget

Room 11 spent the week learning about and commemorating ANZAC day.
Mrs Waite bought in some special items that belonged to her husbands grandfather who fought in a war.

They were really interesting, and it was great to hear a real war story.

 

This a cup that had lots of engraving about the war on it.

  

This was a certificate that the soldier received after the war and a shaving kit that soldiers had to carry with them during the war. It even still had the soap!

Next... we made ANZAC biscuits. Yum!

We had to work in small groups and work out the quantities by

halving each ingredient. 

This turned out to be tricky and some biscuits tasted a little bit better than others, but we still enjoyed them!

Delicious!!

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

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!
