Student Blogging at Auroa Primary School

During Term Four we have the MOA Awards.  There's various digital categories for excellence and we've featured various work from past years.   One of the categories this year is a 'Passion Blog' a specific blog which is related to a passion or special interest that the students have.  At last years awards we had two very special efforts from students at our school - Madaline from Room Two won best student blog, this year she is concentrating on her writing and

has an produced a simply brilliant student blog that features some of her amazing writing work.  It is a student blog of the very highest quality that is featuring some amazing work and may well be featuring later this year.   Not only is Madaline producing some special her sister Jorja, a former member of this classroom.   She won last years award for best student blog and is also producing some fantastic work as well.  These student blogs are simply sensational - genuine work of students (in their own time) who are producing work of a amazing quality.  Please support these wonderful blogs by visiting them and leaving the students a comment.

Keys to My Life Student Blog

We are always looking for amazing connections and work from classrooms around the world.   One of our biggest supporters and a teacher that Mr Webb thinks is pretty amazing is Mrs Yollis who is from Califorina, USA.   She is the best blogger in the entire world.

Today in class we found out about a new student blog from one of Mrs Yollis students, 'Smiley'.  Who has started a new student blog called 'Keys to My Life'.   We spent time this morning as a class looking at the blog, thinking about the information that was posted on it and comparing the answers and the questions to our students in New Zealand.  

We loved the fact that the word 'plethora' was used on the page which was a word we talked about class, what the word meant and how we'd be able to use it.  You can visit the student blog here and Mrs Yollis class page is here.

Its a very busy time of the year for a lot of the students of Auroa Primary School as their families are involved in the calving process.
