Tauriko Jumping Beans

Natalie van Dijk —

We are super excited to announce that we have had three teams qualify for the North Island Regionals in Tauranga.

A few weeks ago, Mrs van Dijk received an email to tell us that our three Jump Jam teams had been selected to compete at the Jump Jam North Island Regionals on the 27th of October. 

This is a huge achievement for these teams as they were selected from hundreds of video submissions from schools throughout the North Island. 

We have started organising the teams' costumes and teams will start their rehearsals next week.

We received high scores for all three teams and some excellent feedback. 

Thriller (Year 7 and 8 Team) - This team qualified for the Year 7 and 8 Novice Category with a score of 49 out of 60 

Clearly convincing and confident. Excellent technically, very much in sync with good zombie action. Well drilled team. Loved watching them!.

Captain Jack (Year 5 and 6 Team) - This team qualified for the Year 4 - 6 Open Category with a score of 50 out of 60

A very confident and convincing routine. Fabulous vocalisation, with some original chants, thank you. Very impressed with this performance. Excellent level guys.

5 6 7 8 (Year 1 - 4 Team) - This team qualified for the Year 1 - 4 Open Category with a score of 52.25 out of 60

This was a strong confident and convincing team. Well rehearsed with facial expressions. Vocalisation was loud, clear and plenty. Excellent technically, very sharp and well drilled team. Loved watching them!
