2014 Moa Awards Highlights

Here is a highlight video from the MOA Awards made by Sonic Vision Studios.

"The 2014 Moa Awards were held on November 11th at the Sandfords Event Center Opunake. I had the privilege of putting the show together and so created a MTV styled Awards Show. Created the Transformers intro and put Mt Taranaki in the shot with Optimus Prime (At the end)."

Well last week was certainly a busy week.  It was great to catch up with a lot of Room 14 parents at the MOA Awards and Gala Day.  It was great to see a large number of people out to support the children at our school.  This week we start the 'Skills for Life' programme run by Sport Taranaki.  This is a once per week lesson where students learn a variety of different offense and defense skills that can be used across a variety of sports.  Don't forget, all of our MOA awards work is on our blog, we have a page dedicated to all of the wonderful work we completed, click on on the page link above and take a look.

Wahine Update

We have been reading 'No Safe Harbour' by Taranaki author David Hill.  It is a story of Stuart and Sandra, 15 year old twin brother and sister and their survival of the Wahine Disaster on the 10th of April 1968.  This has inspired us to look deeper into the events of April the 10th 1968.  We are completing research mini studies, writing newspaper articles, using the green screen to take photos of us there on the day.  We are even writing and presenting newspaper articles using 'Lifecards' as well writing and filming TV news bulletins as if we were there on the scene reporting the news.  Keep checking back to see how we got on.



We have also been using the APP 'Lifecards' to make these newspaper front pages.  This is Jazlins, more will follow...
