Walk the Length of New Zealand?!!

By Anonymous -
This term, for maths, we are looking into measurement and fractions. We have signed up for a wonderful School Kit unit called "Walk the Length of New Zealand". This kit allows us to explore all of the different units of measurement and how to convert them into each other.

So far, we have found out our own personal average step lengths so that we can see how many steps we would have to take to walk the length of New Zealand. 

Next we are going to explore perimeters and how to calculate these. We will then convert the perimeter calculations into our own personal steps. For instance; how many steps will it take Jenuli to walk around the netball courts compared to Johnathan?

What do you think? Have a guess and type it into the comments. How many steps will Jenuli need to take to walk around our netball courts and how many steps will Johnathan need to take? Who will take the most steps?

Chinese Lion Dance

By Anonymous -
A huge thank you to the AMAZING E-Pacs Lion & Dance Group for coming to Sunnyhills to show and teach us about the Chinese Lion Dance. We had so much fun listening to you and now know so much more about Chinese New Year. I really loved when Tracey the lion dancer put on the costume and showed us how to do some of the lion dance steps. Which part did you like? Please check out the videos below:

Safe and Strong Online

Continuing on from our amazing lesson with Mrs Lee in the Exploration Station, we have been working on our projects to share our knowledge on how to be safe and strong online. It is so important that we are aware of the dangers that could happen and what we can do if we don't feel safe. We really love coming into the Exploration Station where we can create games online with Scratch, film videos with our friends and make wonderful models and game boards. Rebecca and Danielle have already created and completed a video showing what they know about being safe and strong online. Check it out below. And here are some action shots with projects in the making.
