Auroa Primary School - Moa Awards Information

Auroa Primary School is very lucky and excited to be part of a cluster of schools working together with our IT work.   As part of this our cluster of schools, the MOA Cluster, are having an awards ceremony during Term Three, at the Opunake Theatre on Thursday 25th September.   There are a large number of categories that the students can be nominated for their digital work.  The full list can be found here on the cluster blog.   We are asking this week that students choose an additional area that they would like to focus on to work towards making a submission for the awards.

We are also fortunate that there are two other Y7/8 classrooms where the students have individual blogs, that can be a source of inspiration and ideas for our students.   This weeks task is to highlight or feature a blog from Opunake Primary School Y7/8 and Matapu Primary School Y7/8.  Students from Auroa Primary School need to:

• select one blog from each location take a screen shot of the blog and post it with hyperlink.
• explain why you have selected that blog and what work you could highlight.
• comment on at least one piece of work from the blog, following the expected guidelines.
• as an extension those of you with blog lists on your own blog are to add the two blogs onto your own list.

Crowley Cup Highlights Vs. Opunake Primary

At Auroa Primary School we've got some exciting competitions coming up.  We are really excited that our Y7/8 Sport has just started and we're going to be attending the NZAIMS tournament in Tauranga, later this year.  At the moment our Y5/6 students are currently competing in the Crowley Cup.  Its a local competition against other Primary Schools from our area in Rugby and Netball.  Our first game took place last Thursday with Auroa Primary School hosting our friends from Opunake Primary.  This video of the Rugby was filmed in Imovie by our students who then edited and published it.  Will had to reshoot the introduction because the day it took place and we had strong winds which eliminated all our  Netball footage! It was not ideal conditions to film, record and present.

Player of the day for Auroa in the Rugby was Matt Clarke, Auroa who are in their purple with orange trim, won the rugby 51-0. Katelyn Hughes was player of the day for Auroa who won 11-8. You can read about it on our school website here.

Our friends at Opunake Primary School beat us to the post in this case.  They've got some great blogs up and running and we enjoyed visiting them often.  Mr Lodge and the students of Room 14 have been posting very regularly and you can view their footage of the sports exchange.
