Mindfulness

This term, we are completing a Mindfulness course with Gabriela. We sit in a circle, close our eyes and focus on our breathing, while enjoying the present moment. We also have a journal where we record our thoughts, feelings and goals from the week.

Road Safety Week

Road Safety week saw lots of students and teachers from Sunnybrae battling the wet weather conditions to walk to school! It was fun walking to school with our teachers (even though we got wet). We also enjoyed wearing our bright clothing to school - 'be bright, be seen'

Drive Time - origami project

Allan, Maile and Nuri have been busy creating origami masterpieces! Here is them presenting a few of their pieces of work to the class. They used Youtube clips as motivation - have you tried doing origami lately? It's loads of fun and keeps kids entertained for HOURS :)

Art project: Quilling

Jacqueline, Hiba and Te Awerangi spent a lot of time curling up strips of paper to create this fantastic piece of art. This process is called 'quilling'. Haven't they done a fantastic job?

Science Fun!

We have been learning about science around us and different forces. On the second to last day of Term 1, Mrs Knight set up some materials in the hall and we had a play around. We had to write an 'I wonder' question and a hypothesis before carrying out our science experiment. Check out some of the pictures of us having a go! Thanks Mrs Knight :)
