Duffy the time traveller

Duffy the time traveller

The Duffy show only happens once a year. The three actors, Talia, Veeta and Simon and their kaumatua were at our school to show us what we could do if we read books. 

The Duffy show starts at 11:00 says miss Simeon, straight after play time. Playtime was over so we all lined up and got ready to go to the library. I just couldn't wait to see the performance with my own eyes. As soon as we walked inside I started to laugh  even though they hadn't started their act and because of the funny things they were doing on the stage.

My favorite part was when Duffy saved Ruby's dad from dying in the war and when she learned how to read books.

The end part was when Ruby finally learned how to read her favorite book Alice in wonderland. When she rewarded Duffy he felt happy she got what she wished for.

Thank you Duffy theater for an awesome show.

Art Intensive.

My I am Poem

When it all began.

One hundred and ten years ago a rangatira named ‘Iraia Kuao’ fought for land and a school to be established here in Tautoro.

The  day started out with a powhiri. We welcomed our manuhiri with Papa Joe and Matua Mitai supporting our taumata. The first song Te Matua made the ex students smile when we were singing, some of them were even humming along with us.

The school had to wait for a little while because the hangi was running a bit late, so we decided to start the games of old. We got into our groups and we played several games the students use to play 100 years ago.  The first game we played was marbles and then hopscotch then we played  spinning tops and then skipping.

Finally the hangi arrived to a smell we could not resist. I quickly rushed to receive a big hangi to myself, that tasted almost better than delicious.

I thought that the day was amazing seeing the ex students so happy and having fun.  I am so glad to be a part of this day.
Happy birthday Tautoro School.
