Poor Times by Blake

Once there was a lady that was deaf, blind and could not smell anything. There was a very nice lady that tried to help her. She tried to help her by making words on her chest with her hands. She had been doing it for 13 years. She had to go everywhere with her and she had to sleep on the ground beside her. Their names were Charlotte and Katy. Katy was also very poor. Sometimes Charlotte gave her 2 dollars or 3 dollars if she was lucky. After a month and 10 days she wasn’t very poor anymore.

The Incredibles...POWER!

As apart of our Inquiry in Tautoru we watched the Incredibles and then in groups of four we worked collaboratively to answer some questions about the movie and what we would like our powers to be if we were a super-hero...Come to Assembly this week and find out more!

I've got the POWER!

In Tautoru we have been learning about developing good questions as apart of our Inquiry on POWER. Tautoru had a guest last week and we decided that we would develop some great questions around POWER to ask him...here are some great examples of the questions that were asked... - What does power mean to you? - How do you use your power? - Have you ever had power over someone? - Do you have power in your job? - How do you get power? Thanks to our special guest who answered all the students questions and then some more...
