Year 2 are studying about festivals and celebrations in different countries. Room 11 had a great day on Friday.Ambria Britt, Na Ra Lee, Gloria You, Yini Choi and Dion Heslop are wearing HANBOK, a traditional Korean dress.A group of Korean parents also came and made this cultural sharing even more special.
Today is Pepero Day in Korea. Pepero is a snack that looks like long thin sticks with a chocolate coating. It is celebrated on 11 November, because the sticks look like four number 1111. They are very yummy. When we go to school on that day, we put Peperos on our friends' desks.
On Friday 24th of October, our friends David and Ella, went to back to Korea. Before they went back to Korea, we had a shared lunch. There were many kinds of food and people to celebrate them and Ms. Hopkirk gave them the certificates and presents.
On Friday the 31st October, we had Halloween. That day was spooky and scary day. There were many knocks on the door followed by "Trick or treat!"and we gave children many lollies. I saw many friends from school and many spooky costumes.
Milford School is located on the shore of Lake Pupuke in Auckland, New Zealand. Our teacher is Mrs.Gordana Stanojevic,but we call her Mrs.S, as her surname is too long. Mrs. S came from Serbia almost twenty years ago. She has taught ESOL for a very long time, both in NZ and in her home country. In our department, we also have two teacher aides, Miss Tracye Eriksen and Mrs.Yiha Kim. From 2016 we have a Chinese speaking teacher for two days a week, Mrs. Lillian Ku.
