Grandparents Reading to Us.

A special treat we had for Literacy Week was when some of our grandparents came to read to us. We listened very carefully and enjoyed listening to stories we hadn't heard before.

Book Character Parade

The highlight of Literacy Week was the Book Character Parade. Here we are in our fantastic costumes.

Literacy Week

What a wonderful week have had for Literacy Week. We did lots reading and responding to books and enjoyed some special events.
Here are some of our highlights.


Miss King read us the story about Rainbow Fish and then we wrote about it. We also drew these lovely pictures.

On Tuesday, Frida, Laith and Monique presented their poems at the Poetry Festival. They were amazing standing up in front of the whole Koru Whanau. 

Well done!

Blackout Day

On Friday we came to school dressed in black to support the All Blacks at the Rugby World Cup. 

GO THE ALL BLACKS!

Calendar Art

At Sunnyhills School we have the Sunnyhills shine, so we created sunrise and sunset pictures for our calendar art. We used warm colours for the sunrays and cool colours for the sea and land. 

We loved painting these pictures, so we hope our parents will support the PTA and buy a calendar with our gorgeous artwork on it. Then they will get to enjoy the Sunnyhills shine every day of the year.

Granville Came to Visit

The big book we have been reading this week is called Davy D's Dog, written by Jill Eggleton. 

Davy D. has a big, big dog in a teeny, tiny house. 
When his tail goes flick, flick, flick, things start to crash and smash.




Mrs Waite has a big dog as well. His name is Granville and he came to visit us today. Granville's tail went flick, flick, flick too but he didn't crash or smash anything. We let him lick our hands. Then we fed him a treat and gave him a pat. He felt soft. Thanks for visiting us, Granville. 

Koru Whanau Assembly

On Friday Room 10 was very proud to be presenting the Koru Whanau Assembly.

Mila and Laith did an awesome job as announcers and everyone performed the story about Grumpy Bear.
Here are some photos of us in action .
