Sorry that the blog has not been updated in some time but we have lots of exciting news to tell!
Friday 3rd February- The Mud Run
We all had a BRILLIANT afternoon here at Amano as many gathered together for the ‘Mud Run’; some brave ones running and others being great supporters. The Mud Run was organized and run by the P.T.A with the idea that the young people would get sponsored for the amount of laps that they did of the muddy route to raise funds for a swimming pool.
It was great to see staff and pupils getting stuck in (literally!) and working hard to raise funds for the school.
Friday 24th February- Cross Country
It was great to join together with other schools as Amano hosted the ISAZ primary and Secondary Cross Country Races.
Mr Grove had created a brand new secondary course which was approx 5.7km and the primaries ran approx 3km. Quite a bit further than the pupils are used to but all students did extremely well including the students who cheered so loudly and were so supportive of those running.
It was a great day for us overall as Amano won both the primary and secondary races
Sunday 4th March-Ready Steady Cook
We had our first ever ‘Ready Steady Cook’ competition at Amano! Mr Jarrett and Mrs Rass invited the grade 11&12’s to compete boys against girls in a cookery competition. Both teams got identical ingredients and had to come up with some creative recipes.
The boys cooked at Mr Jarrett’s trailer and the girls cooked at Mrs Rass’ Flat, both teams were given 1.5 hours before all meeting together to eat.
Mr Andressen and Miss Scott came along to be the official judges, judging on taste, presentation and creativity. And at the end of the night the overall winners were the girls!
The judges then threw a surprise on Mr J and Mrs R as they were given the challenge of who could make the quickest omelette which resulted in lots of egg on the table, floor and egg shell being thrown about everywhere! Again the girls were the winners as Mrs Rass won!
