Hi Room 6, I hope your holidays are going well and that you are helping out at home. I on the other hand am attending the Google Apps For Education Summit in Auckland. Every class teacher from Tautoro is attending this Summit with me. And all I can say is WOW!!!!
I've been here for one hour and I'm already thinking... how can I fit all these ideas in one teaching year?

Haere Ra, Mrs Lindsay
Mrs Lindsay,
On behalf of Room 6, we would like to thank you very much for your time you have spent with us.
Thank you for the support and mahi you have done for Tautoro School, over the six years. We will sadly miss you but we congratulate you also on your new journey as the Principal of Paihia School.
I would like to congratulate you on your new mahi at Paihia School.
So once again, thank you very much Mrs Lindsay for being our Principal and not only being Tautoro's Principal but a good teacher too. So for the last time, thank you very much.
Mrs Lindsay,
Throughout all these years of you being our Principal, it has been awesome. You have made lots of changes in our school and brought many opportunities for all the Tautoro tamariki to experience.
Each and everyday you have encouraged us to try our best and that we should always achieve our goals.
Every Monday morning you would spread an inspiring message to all the students, the main message I took in were; to use all the waka values, to have fun and your main motto...
'Whaia te iti kahurangi ki te tuohu koe me he maunga teitei.' This meant to never give up but if you choose to give up, make sure you have given up on something as big as a mountain.
This whakatauki will always inspire the students of this school and it will always encourage us to try our best, especially for our future when our hardest challenges are to come.
We all wish you, Mrs Lindsay, the very best in your new venture at your new school and for your future.
We all hope you keep us in your heart and never forget the special times you have spent with us and we hope you never forget Tautoro School, on of the best schools in New Zealand.

Is there a link between extra work on our classroom sites and students achieving?
Yesterday I tested Room 6 using IKAN assessment tool and I received a very pleasant surprise. Why?...
I have been making daily checks to see who has been accesses IXL, Manga High, Study Ladder and my learning games that focuses on the WALT that I have been teaching that week. I have noted that Demetrius, Chozen and Lizzy (All in my Porohita group at Stage 6) have visited these sites during their homework time.
Today when I collated the IKAN results I found Demetrius, Chozen and Lizzy were higher in Number Knowledge, than the other students in Porohita AND Tapatoro (My beginning Stage 7 group.) These 3 girls are at Stage 7 in IKAN - Number Knowledge, while the rest are still at Stage 6. Well done GIRLS.
Is there a connection? I hope so! If you do have internet at home, please let your child work on my set tasks I have stated on the Room 6 class site.

Our Brave Soldiers
Kia ora Whanau,
This week, Room 6 students are researching information about our brave soldiers who have fought in conflicts through out the world.
We are starting with our brave ANZACs who fought in the Gallipoli campaign in WW1. We will also travel through time and visit websites, readings, audio clips and old videos, that focus on the Maori Battalion in WW2, K-Force in Korea, Vietnam and the Malayan Conflict.
I have set websites on our Room 6 site, this will stop your tamariki from wandering all around the net and gaining nothing in the end.
If you have any information you would like to share with your tamariki, please feel free to pop into our class and share your knowledge.
Through out the week your child will create a presentation around their findings on our brave country men and women who fought, served and some who ultimately sacrificed their lives on the battle fields around the world.
