Baking Bread the traditional way! Technology we can always use.

 Mixing the yeast/ sugar/ warm water concoction with the first lot of flour and salt and leaving to rise.

Alex and Karlia ready the trays.

Lauren and Rose start to mix in the flour.


Time to get kneading!


Another group's batch is ready to rise on top of the warm stove.

Erin and Franca have started the next bowl of yeast and sugar. Now Athena, Tiffany, Leena and Felicia are ready to mix flour into a bowl with salt.


 Golden, brown, hot bread rolls ready to eat!

Making maths strategy decisions as a group

Sometimes I can solve a problem in my head by moving numbers around by imagining what they look like. Sometimes I need a strategy to solve a complex problem.

Which strategy do you use to solve a problem? Is it the most efficient? Let's compare to others. The Hexagons Group had a variety of word problems to solve using different operations. They used their own strategies and then worked with others to compare what they had done. They decided on the best strategy between them and recorded it here.

Always moving at Sunnyhills School - keeping fit and having fun in Spring weather!


First up we have Max M's Teach the teacher - where he shared some very complicated but fun soccer moves and we all had a really good growth mindset and had a go! None of us sprained an ankle!






We have continued our running training and are thinking of the Huff n puff early next term! Most of us can now easily do 3 laps and pushing towards 4 laps now. Remember to bring your PE uniform and running shoes to protect those little growing bones every Tue and Thur.






Badminton Auckland sent Dhanny to teach us how to play this fun indoor sport. We learned lots of fun warm ups followed by the different grips and ways to hit the shuttle across the net. Once again a really great mindset from everyone and we are keen to have another go next term. Mrs Fowler has bought some more badminton equipment for our PE shed so we can continue playing.

Friday Fun Times

Rehearsing our Maori Legends with R6 as our audience. They were a great group and gave us lots of positive feedback and then some feed forward to help us improve for next time.


R6 has 2 international students in their class from China. They accompanied and sang a song to the tune of You Are My Sunshine which they had taught R6 to sing in Chinese, it was a beautiful song boys!



Dylan's Teach the Teacher up next! A clever boy who can make things out of balloons! Dylan and his Mum, Mrs Fowler, provided the balloons, pumps and some colourful string and sticks to make a leash and collar for our fantastic dogs. 



This was so much fun and we only popped a few!

Makey Makey

Today more children explored using the Makey Makey kit and using Scratch. Great thinking Ruby, Diamon, Leena, Alex, Jack and Dylan.
Alex and Dylan had a super idea to ask the whole class to make a circuit and we were able to create a HUGE circuit!
