Black Out Day - Support the All Blacks



This Friday, 30th October, we are having a total BLACKOUT at school.
This means that you can wear Black, Black, Black clothing in support of our All Blacks playing in the big final this weekend. 

No money, or donations - just the pride in supporting our 'boys in black'.  

iTime Investigations

Tautoko Pod continues to have iTime Investigations this term.
Children are working in pairs and have selected a Topic/Question of interest, formed sub-questions and completed independent research.  Presentations are coming together.   Check out our 'iTime' tab for more investigations to be added over the next few weeks.
See one example of work below ...

Ag Day Reminder - What you need to bring.

This week we are busy getting our Ag Day Activities done.

This is a reminder for Tuesday to bring in
- A shoebox (if you are doing a shadowbox) and some decorations for this
OR
- Lego/K'nex/construction blocks (for a construction model).

We are supplying a limited amount of decorations for the picture frames, so if you have some that you think your child can create a farm scene/animal ... with, then please send this along too.

Friday:  a muffin is needed (just the one per child), along with some decorations they can create with, for the top.

Remember these are being created in the class, so please don't complete these at home.
We look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday.
