And the switch went on and - hey presto! - the light bulbs lit up - woo hoo!

Mr Muir explains a simple circuit to us today, as part of our Inquiry into electrical technology.

Success!

Using a philips screwdriver to tighten the screws - great job girls!

Who would like to be an Electrician?

Here is the circuit ready to go. Mr Muir has set the main parts up for us already. Can you see the switch, lamp fitting, battery fitting and the wires?

We are all really excited to be making a circuit. We are learning to put the wires in the correct place, under a screw, under a metal plate. We have to trace the line of the circuit with our finger to figure out if the circuit is complete. If it is not the bulb will not light up when we turn the switch on.

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!

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.

Franca's Teach the Teacher - Bird Feeding balls - great environmental teaching!

Thank you to Franca's Mum, Beth, for doing so much organising with Franca. We had a wonderful day and showed Mrs Daniel, our Enviro teacher, what we had learned. She was super impressed!
