Presenting for one last time... The Amazing Team 11! Goodbye from Team 11 and we wish you a very happy,  safe and Merry Christmas!!

Today the students of Sunnyhills are celebrating the Indian festival of Diwali.  Some students came to school dressed in their traditional Indian outfits. Lakshya and Neerav wearing traditional Indian clothing.  Pretty impressive!

Jai Ho Our clever choreographers of the Year 6 International Food Festival cultural item  - Lakshya, Mia, Lauren, and Naomi. Thanks for your hard work!

It's Literacy Week, and Team 11 have been busy preparing for a visit from Willy Wonka and his Team of Oompa Loompa's and Golden ticket winners. Check out our window and door displays!

On Friday at the Kauri assembly, Lakshya performed an Indian Bollywood-style dance. She was dressed in a traditional kurta outfit, and WOW she looked amazing and danced very gracefully. Thanks Lakshya for sharing your culture!

Team 11 had a fantastic morning in the kitchen making our pizzas and pizza dough.  We had to work out the quantities for the dough and convert some measurements in order to get the correct amount for our group's dough.  We let it sit for over an hour in a warm place before starting to prepare the ingredients for the pizza toppings. We made all sorts of pizzas including; Hawaiian, Margherita, Meat lovers and Vegetarian. We had to make sure that the slices were even and that everyone received an equal amount. They were delicious!

Look at what Team 11 have been learning about in Enviro! So...which lightbulb will you choose?!

Team 11 performed their own version of the Crab Rave at the Kauri Assembly. Check us out!

Last week Hannah and Soyoung taught Team 11 how to make a traditional female and male outfit using some origami paper they bought in.  It was hard work making the outfits, but Hannah and Soyoung made it look soo easy!      Hannah teaching the boys.

There's been a lot of discussion, teamwork, voting and korero  within Team 11, but we are proud to present our classroom Treaty,  or as we call it;  the Team 11 Cleaty!

What is Census At School? A national survey that comprehensively chart children’s views of their own lives. Students were asked a series of questions about issues as wide-ranging as climate change, the amount of time they spend on digital devices, and how they handle interpersonal issues. CensusAtSchool runs every two years, and in 2017, more than 32,000 students took part, representing 534 schools and 1,062 teachers. On Thursday, after filling in a home journal, Team 11 went to the Maths room and spent the afternoon, measuring, weighing, timing and recording our height, schoolbag weight, circumference of fingers, foot length, balance amongst other things. It was a cool way to spend an afternoon!         

Congratulations to all the Team 11 and fellow Year 6 students who put themself out there and applied to be a Leader.  Be very proud of your effort!

What a camp! It's hard to sum up 4 amazing days with amazing students,  awesome adults,  spectacular teachers  and staff,  so I have made this movie for you to sit back,  relax and enjoy. Please feel free to leave a comment!
