Cross Country Timelapse

A time lapse from our School Cross Country race at UK Rugby Club. Such a great day. Well done to all those that completed the course. Interschool Cross Country is this week.

Tyissa and Alex the Teachers

Tyissa and Alex took the role of Teachers on last week. They had a google hangout with a school down the line and taught them how to make an animation using google slides. What an awesome way to share their learning. Keep it up girls.

E-Learning Symposium

Homecoming Parade

Some of Room 6 were lucky enough to go to the Homecoming Parade for Blair Tuke and Peter Berling in Kerikeri on Friday. 

Maths Learning

In Room 6 we are learning to talk about what we are learning and why. We are also talking about the things that we are finding hard. Here is our maths ideas from week 5. 

Olympics Day Fun

On Thursday we had our very own Olympics Day at school. Each class had been learning about a selected country that they then represented on the day. We began with our opening parade through the main street in town. For the rest of the day we took part in a range of fun activities at school such as javelin with straws, knee soccer and discuss with plastic plates. It was lots of fun. Here are some photos from Room 6 of the day.

Kia ora Ko Honey Tautari toku ingoa

There’s a new teacher in my class…………

I wonder who she is

I wonder where she came from

I wonder where she lives

I wonder if she’s strict or grumpy like a bear

I wonder if she’s nice

I wonder if she cares

I wonder what she’ll teach us

I wonder what she knows

I guess I’ll have to wait and see

What she has to show

To the Parents/Caregivers of Room 5

My name is Honey Tautari and I will be your child’s teacher for the rest of the year.  I look forward to guiding and supporting your child’s learning experiences.

I am a recent graduate of Te Whare Wananga o Awanuiarangi and have been working as a full-time relief teacher at Moerewa School since the beginning of this year.  I had been a teacher-aide for six years, while studying for my teaching degree and have supported students of all ages and learning abilities.  I care that every student is given all opportunities to participate in education and I am an avid advocate of it.

I was born and bred in Karetu where I currently live with my husband. I am an active member of my hapu and marae and am responsible also for my elderly mother.  I have four awesome children and seven adorable grandchildren.

I look forward to meeting you all and welcome visits to our classroom.

Whaea Honey Tautari
