Calf and Lamb Day 2014

Not only was it the most important show day at Auroa Primary School this year its probably the event that has generated the most questions and interest from our visitors around the world: Calf and Lamb Day.  To view a recount of the entire day from the perspective of a student entering a calf click on the link to Alice's blog here.  To read about the Championship winning Senior Lamb you can click on the link to Emilys Blog (which will shortly reach the mark of 10,000 pageviews for the year!) here.   You can also see a photo of the reserve (runner up) lamb by clicking on the link to Lucas's blog here.   You can read Izzy's recount about being in the Calf competition here.

The slideshow that you can view below here is of some of the art activities that students from Auroa Primary School were involved in this year.  In each classroom students had to produce four pieces of art for judging.  The 'Snail' picture that you can see on this post is Riley P's prize winning snap.

Electives 2014: Cake Decorating

One of our popular electives that students of Auroa Primary School are able to take part in on Friday is cake decorating. This Friday students were able to produce flowerpots, with a twist, which can be best explained by looking at the slideshow. In Science in Room Two the students created art with a twist - in the paint was placed some baking soda (mixed in with the paint). The paint when the painting was completed was then sprayed with a hand sprayer that had vinegar in it. This caused an reaction to the art which caused a 'splatter' affect. Both these events took place at Auroa Primary School on Friday 20th June 2014.
