MOA Awards 2018 Supreme Winner!

Taranaki Colour Run

This weekend we had the Taranaki Colour Run.   It took place on the Coastal Walkway in New Plymouth.   It was 4.1km.   You had to run or walk from station to station and at each station people would throw cornflour at you mixed with food colouring.  You can see photo's of the event on Ebony's blog here.   McCallum from Room Three is in this picture- you might notice that he is not wearing any eye protection!

Tarnaki Survivor Contestant Announcement: Caro/Ebony

Last year in the 2015 season of the classroom internet competition two compeditors engaged in an epic battle against each other.  During the course of twenty episodes only two players avoided elimination despite their best efforts to eliminate each other.  Online blog polls predicted that they would both be in the final and after an epic confrontation and battle that proved to be the case.

The final vote was eventually won by Harry, with Caro claiming second place.  No-one more immunity challenges than Caro but also no-one was involved in more blind sides or big moves.  Last year she came as close as possible to winning the competition without managing the cross the finish line.  This year she will be aiming to go one better.  Our second confirmed 2016 cast member: Caro.

Then there's this audition tape that came in from someone else who took part in 2016.  Ebony was one of the contestants who was eliminated early, located an immunity idol and made it back into the game.  She exited for a second time just before the semi-finals.  How will she progress in 2016? Can she do better than before? Regardless of this its an amazing application video and she will be contestant number three...

Today in School we held a quick school meeting where the students from across the School who have been nominated for a MOA Kluster Award were recognised. Mr Chittenden, the Auroa School Principal handed out letters to the lucky students for the finals on November the 10th at the Opunake Events Centre. 

We were very proud in Room Three to have a group of students nominated for Middle School Music Video (Paint the Town Green) best Educational Video (Minecraft: Hawera Water Tower) and finally we had a clean sweep in the Y5/6 Student Blog Section - all four finalists from the cluster have come from Room Three, Auroa Primary School!

Digital Photography: Frost by Ebony

As we've moving towards the end of Winter here in New Zealand we've had some interesting weather. One day at school recently we had hail and a strong frost which provided an opportunity for our students to take their iPads and experiment with photography around school using 'Frost' as a theme. This is Ebony's work and you can click on the link to her blog here.
