The Worser Bay Junk Bots are coming...


Nicola's base group have been exploring different sounds on Garage Band. We are really excited about the upcoming Worser Bay music festival. 

We are the "Junk Bots" and will be making our costumes out of junk. 

We have also been experimenting with green screen as we would like to make a music video to go with our performance...

Learner attributes - goal setting & reflection

Postcards for Bukit Timah Primary School in Singapore


Tautoru wrote postcards to Bukit Timah Primary school for Nicola to take with her to Singapore. We bought a Kete and decorated it with feathers to transport them. Nicola will explain to the children what a Kete is when she gives it to the them. Take a look at our photos to see how beautiful they are! Have a great time Nic!

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...
