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
