My special place

Wow!!!! Where do I start.

A place where I feel safe and happy, a place where my teachers help me achieve my goals, a
place where my teachers help me to improve my learning, a place where I enjoy playing with
my friends, a place where I have made many lifelong friends,  a place where I feel successful,

Tautoro School a special place to me.

Tautoro School is a small rural school located outside of Kaikohe within the hapū boundaries of
Ngāti Rangi, Ngāti Moerewa and Ngāti Hine. 

It continues to be a Special place in our community. 

Many staff and whānau have long standing and inter-generational connections with the school. 

Tautoro School promotes the wellbeing of children, staff and whānau, and provides them with a
positive environment for learning and working. 

Tautoro School also caters for children in Years 1 to 8.

Ko au te Waka,  Ko te Waka ko au

Tautoro School implements 12 Waka hoe values that help us in our learning.

These are the Waka hoe values 

Aroha          Ako Kaha              Kaitiakitanga
Rangatiratanga     Mana Manaakitanga Tikanga 
                  Tumaia Wairuatanga 

This is a small fraction of the awesome things that I think make Tautoro School a special place
in our community.

Algorithm's with Scratch Jr

Scratch Jr Extraordinaire

WALT: create a grid and code our characters to move.

First we had to create a grid. Then we had to insert our character into the grid.  I chose to use a winter theme with my man trying to get to his igloo. After that we had to put in obstacles to avoid. We had to use the scratch codes to help our character move through the grid.  I've never used voice recordings before which was interesting and new. It was important that we check with buddy or teacher before we found a quiet space to do a screencast of our mahi. I found it easy to use scratch jr.  Have you tried it? Have a go.  I hope my video has inspired you to give new things a go.
