The Best Class!!

Congratulations Room 12 for being chosen as the best class at School Assembly for Term 4 Week 5!

This means that you were sitting with your arms and legs in the right places, eyes on the speaker and with super listening ears ready.

What beautiful audience members you are. Keep up the awesome choices! : ) Miss S.

We are number 1!

Room 12's Learning Assistant Mrs Jackman

Room 12 has been very fortunate to have the lovely Mrs Jackman to assist with the learning this year.

Mrs Jackman's kind words and encouraging smile has helped us to take risks with our learning. She tests our ABCs, high frequency words and maths profiles every month. Miss S uses this information to help inform future teaching. Mrs Jackman tops up our high frequency word pockets. She also takes small groups of students for Patch Play- which encourages Oral Language interaction, high frequency words groups, ABC groups and fine motor skills groups.

We thank Mrs Jackman and wish her and her family a safe and happy holiday season.

Mrs Jackman and all the Learning Assistants at Sunnyhills School are a great asset to the foundation learning that takes place in the Junior School. We thank the Board of Trustees and Ms Small for making it possible for us to have our wonderful Learning Assistants!!

Junior Syndicate Athletics Day!

Room 12 has been thinking good thoughts for a perfect day with a bit of sun and a few clouds. On Wednesday 11th of November we were all so lucky to have that perfect day for our Junior Syndicate Athletics Day!

We started the event with running races on the track. We enjoyed the challenge of listening to the instructions "take your marks, set ,bang!" that's when we did our best to run in our own lane and go as fast as we could. Miss S. thought that we were so fast! We never gave up and we gave our best!

Then we rotated around different activities like: potato and spoon races, Snag Golf, sack races, high jump, skipping and moon hoppers.

Thank you to all the friends of the class that came to support us. We were so happy to see lots of parents and siblings cheering us on throughout the sessions. A special thank you to the lovely Mrs Barden for carrying our drink bottle box and Mrs Long for carrying our drink bottle box and taking photos for our blog.

A BIG THANK YOU TO MRS RINCKES FOR ORGAINISING AN AWESOME DAY!!
