We are so excited to be working on our cultural cushions to display during week 9. We have done a lot of research into cultural patterns and good luck symbols from around the world. We also worked on our sketching skills designing what our cushions will look like when we are finished. We are learning how to sew to be able to make our cushions. The basic stitches that we have learnt are; back stitch, cross stitch, running stitch, blanket stitch and whip stitch. We will definitely be able to help with sewing buttons onto shirts after this! Check out some of the cushions we are working on.        

This week we have started looking at 2D shapes. We have been learning new shapes, discussing the angles within them and using some geometrical language to talk about them. Then, to apply our new knowledge, we have started to create shape comics! Check out how we are going.

In room 6 for the last four weeks we have been using an amazing kit to help us develop our knowledge about Statistics and Measurement. We have researched what it takes to create a world record, created our own records and now we are testing and challenging them. While we are testing our records we are using lots of mathematical language, measuring things using the metric system, converting measurements, collecting data, organising data, analysing data and soon we will be presenting and displaying data. We are having so much fun working with friends and using our Sunnyhills GEMS to help us create our world records. Check out some of the photos from today!                

Room 6 is a class filled with students who all work hard to live with Mana and display the Mana GEM. We strive to make positive contributions to class, group and play time discussions, we represent Sunnyhills with pride when we use our manners and wear our uniform correctly, we always celebrate our own and each others achievements no matter how small and we always endeavor to do our best in everything we do.  Today we were excited to celebrate Pasindu's success in modelling these values of the Mana gem and last whole school assembly we were very proud of Brodie and celebrated her success in displaying this too!

This morning Mrs Madden email the Sunnyhills teachers a mathematical challenge to try with our students. At first, we though the answer was straight forward but after calculating and re-calculating we realised it would not be as easy as we thought.  We pulled out lots of materials (plastic cubes, blocks, counters and tens blocks) to help us try to understand and solve this challenge. After much brainpower and with the help of our classmates (and teacher) we managed to solve the challenge. So now, WE CHALLENGE YOU! See if you are able to find the numbers to go in each square and comment your answers below. We will let you know if you are right or if you need to try again.
