Opposites in technology - Teach the teacher - Karol and Robert

Robert taught us to extend our thinking with Scratch and design a Spooky Halloween game!

He had a slideshow presentation ready to go and was a super teacher. We were addicted very fast and wanted to keep adding onto our games!

Karol had a really intricate game to play which challenged our minds just like the coding - except this time it was with string and making puzzles with our hands and fingers. We really enjoyed our morning with Karol and Robert!

Lucas demonstrates soccer skills at Teach the Teacher!

Lucas, along with Assistant Coaches Max and Quinn, taught us some great moves ad we had a really good go! Unfortunately the field was far too wet to walk, let along run on, so we had to make do with the play surface around the adventure playground. But it was a great running game and we all had fun!

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.

Tinker time this week!

Patience and fine motor skills have been necessary this week for beading! Patterning and planning and a little help from our friends too.!

STEM challenge this week!

Can you design a container for holding popcorn at the movies that can stand up and prevents spillage?

1st - we made an origami prototype to hook us in! In groups of 3 we listed the pros and cons of this simple design.
2nd - Then we brainstormed and made a prototype of a container from paper which tried to use the pros and change the cons!
3rd - we made a final design and were able to use sellotape or staples as well as folding to hold it together.

Here are our designs - spot the handles, flat surfaces, curved surfaces
spot the fill holes, the lids, the folded shapes

Today Mrs T brought some popcorn to truly test our designs - Great Mindset everyone this week. It was interesting to see how different your ideas were which showed me how creative you are. There was lots of collaboration and patience displayed. You maintained a positive manner which meant you could state how your design worked and what improvements could be made next time.

Thank you to Karlia for being out photographer.
