Mystery Skype

Today at school some Year 3 and Year 4 children were skyping a mystery school.

What we did is we took turns asked questions to each other, to narrow it down until we got the correct school.

We asked questions like…

1. Are you in NZ?
2. Are you in the south island?
3. Are you a primary school?

And we got a bunch of answers!

We finally got the school!

It was Queenstown!

It took about 3 - 8 minutes to find out who it was...

So… It’s sad but true, They guessed us before we guessed them…

Google Apps for Education- Year Three children will soon have their own accounts

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Google Accounts have been successfully set up for the children in the seniors.  Setting up Google Accounts for Year 3 children now assists with the transition from the juniors to the seniors in 2015.

A major focus that underlies everything is digital citizenship. Students have taken home the WBS Acceptable Use of Technologies, developed by them and their teachers. They will have discussed it with you and it has been signed and returned to school. Safety is paramount and we take this very seriously. Please talk with your child’s teachers if you have questions.

Here is a link to the agreement:

Using technology in the classroom

Year 3 children, who have signed our acceptable use of technologies agreement, will be set up with Google Accounts before the end of Term 2.

We are excited about the opportunities that will prepare our children for a future that will be very different to our own.

Thanks,

Tautoru Team

Planting

This morning we planted carrots into our garden beds. When we were weeding the garden Zach found a baby radish growing in the soil. We also found some baby tomato plants and flower seedlings.
