Notes would sync if you are using iCloud Notes. Messages, you need to have iMessage turned on and activated on the iPad and if you wish to get SMS on the iPad, you have to turn on Text Message Forwarding on the iPhone in Settings>Messages. See this for other continuity features. Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support
