Learning Mandarin.

We are so lucky here at Sunnyhills.  For a couple of weeks a term we have a lovely lady called Vio to come in and teach us some Mandarin. 

This week we worked hard to say the numbers and write the special characters for the characters. 

Here we are giving it a go.

P.S. Some of us experts in Team 8!

More of Team 8's Special Treasures

In Team 8 we have been sharing our special treasures. Last week Benjamin, Samuel and Theo shared their special treasures.

Benjamin shared his little men. One of his friends gave one to him and then his mum bought him one. They are pretty cool as their heads lift up.

 Theo shared his special motorbike. He showed us how it goes fast.

Samuel and his Dad are Warriors fans. A friend of Samuel's family gave him a cool bag that had a Warriors ball in it too.  (Watch out Samuel Mrs Turner is a huge Warriors fan!)

Thank you to all the parents that have let their children bring in their special treasures to share... we are still waiting for Mrs Driver's special Treasure!

Talking

Hi everyone,

In Team 8 over the next few weeks, we are going to focus on our Oral Language skills. We will be learning how to speak clearly, with expression, to share information about ourselves. We are using the information we collected for our Pepeha. 

Mrs Turner has been teaching some children how to use Puppet Pals on the iPad. We only know a little part of the puzzle and have to work together to piece it all together.

Yesterday, Mason and Zoe learned the first piece of the puzzle and Josephine and Samuel learned the second part. This is Josephine's test. 

Not bad for a first attempt we think!

Can you please leave her some feedback? we'd love to hear what you liked and what you think she could improve on.

We'll keep you posted.... hopefully everyone in Team 8 will be able to create their own Puppet Pals video.

Team 8's Special Treasures

Today some of Team 8 brought in their special treasure.  

Mrs Grant took some photos of Team 8's treasures.

Today Samuel and Jeremy told us why their treasure is important to them.

Samuel told us about his cool motorbike. It is special because the wheels move and so do the handlebars.

Jeremy told us about his 'Winnie the Pooh.'

He got him from Japan and he sleeps with him at night.

We can't wait to see and hear about all the rest of Team 8's special treasures.
