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.

Today we skyped Chrissy and Nyuala. We were all very excited to see them and had loads of questions to ask.


Tally charts

In maths , we have been learning to use a tally chart to record answers to questions.



Planting: I am curious!

We are planting beans. We wanted to find out what students know and what they would like to find out...

Dress Up Day on Halloween

We had great fun dressing up on Halloween. There were lots of different costumes and we had a parade and dance together at lunchtime.


Thanks to the Social Group of the Student Council for organising this.

Happy Diwali

It is Diwali and we wanted to say Happy Diwali to Bukit Timah Primary School in Singapore. 
Ridley: We were celebrating saying thank you to god and reading a special note. We put flowers, milk and money into the pot. We light candles because it is the festival of lights.


"This is me at Rongatai school celebrating Diwali. We did some performances. People did dances and people sang. Some people did a play and most of it was in Hindi and Bengali. The clothes are traditional Indian clothes. I wore a sari for one of the days".
