Letter to students

Dear Tautoru,

We are writing to you to let you know a little about ourselves and to find out about you.  We would like you to answer the questions within the letter after discussing them with mum and dad or anybody else that you have at home.

We are looking forward to new things in Tautoru. Our new inquiry is about change. Change is always exciting and sometimes a little scary but we are going to make sure that change is good and even sometimes fun!

Nicola is into running, tramping, gymming, travelling and getting outside. Scott likes making music or noise, collecting toys and records and spending time with family.  Chrissy enjoys Maths, shopping and travelling. She likes to keep fit by trying new things like Barre, Zumba and dancing in the dark! Shona likes running, walking, swimming in the sea, fishing, tramping, reading, cooking and spending time with family.

What do you like? What do you like to learn about?

Please tell us something that you are excited about this year.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Sincerely,

Nicola, Scott, Shona and Chrissy


Some of us will be responding to this letter next week. Please discuss at home. We are interested in what our students like, what they enjoy learning, what they find challenging and what excites them.

Getting To Know Each Other.



Mathematics.
We are getting to know each other by surveying our base group about things they like. In pairs, we chose a question, asked each other what they liked and then we are going to make tally charts and graphs about our results. Come and have a look at our work next week.
