Science Fair 2013

On the 23rd of September a Science Fair was taking place in the Stoke Hall. Heaps of kids entered the Nelson Cawthron Science and Technology Fair.



Room 11 from Victory Primary School entered with an amazing entry called Food for the Future. The representatives from Room 11 were Sam, Kyan, Chayenne, Deja and Iris.

Here are a couple comments from the judge's about Room 11's entry: Great presentation. Well done to your teacher for being so inspiring and industrious! Here's another: Clearly a lot of exciting learning has been happening in Room 11 at Victory! A very interesting process, with a lot of scientific understanding demonstrated by our two presenters. Soon Victory School will be feeding all of their school community. :)

The judges will announce the winner on the 15 of October.

Library Upgrade

Victory library has been getting a upgrade. Now you can use the fast-find on the other computers, not just on the library's main computer. You can also use the library iPad to read books. The library has also got a TV. The cool thing about this is that you can connect the iPad to the TV. Anything you do on the iPad shows up on the TV.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dream Coat

On Sunday evening last week the senior syndicate went to the play 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dream Coat' at the Theatre Royal. We all thought that the play was really good and that the singing sounded lovely and strong. Victory were given free tickets to the show. After the play we all went back stage and looked at the scenery and in the orchestra pit. I hope that Victory gets more free tickets to more good shows!

Students give it a Fair Go

Have you ever heard of the Fair Go Ad Awards? If you haven't heard of it, it's a competition where kids make an ad about something unfair. For example Willow, Charlie, Chayenne and CJ made an ad about it not being fair when you have no friends.

CJ was the person with no friends and Chayenne was a little fairy that popped up on her hand and said "To make a friend you have to be a friend." And then she disappears.

Then CJ asks Willow if she wants to play basketball. And they become friends.

They filmed their ad on Matua Craig's iPhone. They used a time-lapse app and a green screen for the special effects.
