Heaphy Track - Walking Group

Dear Parents & Caregivers,

In Tautoru there is a group of kids learning about one of the great walks - The Heaphy Track...and entering a competition. We will also be looking/tracking any local walks that we walk during school time and at the weekend. 

If you would like to read more about this please visit this website: http://www.doc.govt.nz/getting-involved/events-and-awards/virtual-great-walker/heaphy-track/

Here they are...and they are excited...




Please ensure that your child is wearing walking shoes each day in case we go on a small walk during school time.

Later on this term we will be planning a longer walk around the peninsula and will require parent help...we will keep you posted on this and when it will be.

HAPPY WALKING EVERYONE!

Tuning Into Our Backyard Inquiry Term 1 2015

Our New Inquiry--What's In My Backyard?


We are exploring what lives in our backyards.  As part of our tuning in stage of the inquiry we would like to encourage the children to take the long weekend to investigate like scientists and capture images with photographs, drawings, videos, writing, etc of our own backyards.  Please bring in any artifacts, objects of interest and images that have been collected over the weekend.  


Thanks.,

The Junior Team
