Mystery Skype with Bailey Road School in Auckland

Some people from Tautoru have been doing some Mystery skype on Monday. We'll tell you all about it!
Isn't it exciting!

How to play Mystery Skype:
First, you have to say to a person that you want to know what your email is, and say that you want to do Mystery Skype.

Mystery Skype is when you skype someone or some people and guess where they live.
You take one question at a time, and ask some proper questions (not silly ones.)
Here are some suggestions:
Are you in New Zealand?
Are you in the South Island?
Do you live in a big city?
And lots more…

The school that we skyped was Bailey Road School in Auckland.

Travelling Tales: Fred the Lonely Teddy

We have been involved in a story project called Travelling Tales. This time we wrote the beginning of the story, then it was sent off to a school in Luxembourg and then to Island Bay School, then to Luxembourg and then back to us. 

This is us working on the beginning of the story. Gina wrote the first 5 slides and Nicola and Scott's base group wrote the last five.

Yay! Brian is back!


Brian is back! He has been to visit Nikoline in Sweden. He has had a great summer (winter for us) and Nikoline will email some pictures soon. These girls were thrilled with their messages and are writing back.

Letter from Aamir, thanking us for our Peace Poems

Dear Chrissy, Nicola, Scott & Shona,

Thank you for this lovely work. Our children really enjoyed it. What is the age group of the children who worked it out? It's amazing. Please say our thanks and love to the children who worked on this. 
We are in the process of printing these poems. We will keep one copy in our school's library and will provide a copy to each child of the poem sent for him or her. We are working on our end to make poems and drawings with our children for yours. It will take a week or two. Is that fine? 
Thank you once again. 

Much love and peace

Regards,
Aamir
