A Special Visitor from the United Kingdom...

 Today, it might be the holidays here in New Zealand, but we received a special visitor to Auroa Primary School - a 'Flat Stanley' which was sent to us by our friends from Classroom 7,8 and 9 from Hopwood CP School in Heywood, United Kingdom.  You can click on the link to their class blog here!   We will be collaborating with them when we come back to school this coming week.

Mr Webb took some photographs with Piri the Pukekohe, the Auroa School mascot.   We also tried to take some photographs with Mount Taranaki in the background, the major local landmark, however the clouds didn't co-operate, although we will address this once school is back next week.  We've got a list of questions that we are going to work through as we complete collaboration in the classroom.  You can click on the link here in the meantime.

Auroa Primary School arrives in Denmark

Following the arrival of Piri the Pukeko in Ireland, South Africa and Russia we found out this weekend that Piri and Auroa Primary School have also made it to Denmark with our friends at Vonslid School.  You can follow the link to their class page here and view the full post of Piri spending time with the classroom.  

Auroa Schools Piri the Pukeko in Ireland

To celebrate the start of the school year our class sent some packages with information about our School and our area to different locations around the world.

Piri the Pukeko has arrive already in South Africa, this morning we saw that Piri had arrived in Siberia, Russia and last week Piri made it to Ireland.

Piri the Pukeko arrives in South Africa!

When we opened our class page for 2014 packages were sent to different locations around the world that featured information on our area and our school mascot, Piri the Pukeko.   We already had Piri arrive in Ireland mid-week and we received a thank you post on 'If Only the Best Birds Sang' from Ireland.   You can click on the link to that amazing site here.

Today we just found out that Piri the Pukeko has just arrived in Cape Town, South Africa at the class of Miss Tyler Smith.  You can click on the link to this wonderful learning blog here.

We will be sharing the arrival of this information with our students on Monday morning when they return to the classroom.

Auroa Primary School - We're LIVE tomorrow from 9am!

School starts for all students of Auroa Primary School on Monday 3rd of February 2014.

We will be officially opening this blog at that time. (9:00am New Zealand time).

Thanks so much for your visit, we look forward to networking with you and collaborating at some point in the future.

If you received a package that was posted from us, then we'd love to see a post about it on your class page so we could share those with the Room One students on the first day of School.

Thanks again.
Mr Webb and Room One,
