Fudge

After reading the poem Fudge! we made fudge with our buddy class.
We co-cooperatively worked together in groups to bring in the ingredients and to make a batch of fudge. We were allowed to taste the condensed milk and have a lick of the spoon and bowl! After the fudge had been left to set in the fridge, it was cut up into pieces. We tried a few pieces and took some home, it was yum!

Olympic Games Rio de Janeiro Brazil

We watched the video below to spark ideas for our Olympic inquiry. We discussed what different kinds of animals are in the video and why. We saw a sloth, crocodiles, jaguar, anteater, and panther and found out that these are a few of the animals found in the Amazon Rainforest. Did you know about 60% of the forest is found  in Brazil where the Olympics are being held.

Holiday Packages

Today the Senior School held the Sunnyhills 2016 Holiday Package Expo in the hall.
We displayed our country's holiday package on a table, they all looked amazing as we have put in a lot of hard work over the past few weeks. We also dressed up in national costumes or in the colours of our country's flag.
We took turns to view all the other classes displays and used our Hills Bills voucher to purchase the holiday package that we would like to go on.
