Wow, what a year it has been for all of the children in Room 21! We have certainly learnt a lot about ourselves, the world around us and each other.
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Thank you for all of your warmth and kindness,
From Room 21 2020
Today we had a visit from Auckland Transport. We were taught how to check our helmet is fitted properly and how to be safe on our scooter.
Yesterday we were lucky to have a visit from Constable Ian Willett. He spoke to us about safe walking and how to cross the road carefully. We especially have to watch out for sneaky driveways when walking.
Congratulations Lucia on receiving a certificate today at assembly. You are showing our 'Mana' GEM by making good choices about your learning.
This week we were able to get out in the sun and enjoy the pool. It was so much fun diving under the water to collect pool toys, having swimming races and splashing around.
We also had a handstand competition, a floating competition and tried to see if we could roll from our backs to our tummies and back again.
We can't wait to go swimming again next week!
What a terrific morning we had walking to the snakes and ladders park. We loved walking with our Year 5 buddies. Thank you to Richie Chen, Choco Shen and Alison Bear for helping out on the walk!
Well done to Monique, Wesley, Raphael and Ashley who all received certificates at Koru Assembly today!
Where have all the children gone?
This morning Room 21 participated in the nationwide Shakeout Day.
We practised how to 'DROP, COVER and HOLD' if ever we were in an earthquake!
Well done Room 21. As always, you were awesome!

For learning this week, watch out for the daily message from me on the blog. If you would like to do some learning at home you can access the previous slide decks as there are plenty of activities that can still be used. And of course it is Maths week and the website is full of fabulous activities that your child might like to have a go at. This link will be on the blog https://www.mathsweek.co.nz/ Remember to read, read, read!
Should we be in Level 3 for a prolonged period new distance learning from home slide decks will be accessible from Monday 17th August.
You know at Sunnyhills we value the well being of our GEMS and whanau, so please do not feel pressured to complete any academic tasks.
The school will continue to communicate with you via email and the blogs.
We will be in touch as we know more.
We were lucky enough to have a special workshop from Neverland Dance Studio. Check out our great dance moves below.
