The Storm


Writing

Danny’s literacy group did a  shared writing about the storm. We all added our ideas to the story.

The Storm

I woke in the dead of night, startled by the storm. Crash! Boom! Thudder!

But wait… the storm has passed, it’s still outside.

Then what made that noise?

I got out of bed and carefully opened the door.

I looked up into the sky and saw what was creating the lightening.

A scaly one eyed dragon.

I dived back under the covers.

Bucket Fillers

Bucket Fillers

In Tautoru, we have introduced weekly bucket fillers...these people have been chosen because they have shown that they are real bucket fillers by helping people, caring about people and showing overall empathy towards others. 

Week 8: These students were chosen by their base group teacher


Week 9: These students were chosen by last weeks bucket fillers





We have lots of things to say !!

In Tautoru,  goal setting and reflection are key aspects of our programme.   We are always encouraging students to set personal writing goal...
