Year 6 Visit TNIS

On Tuesday, 6th of September year 6 went to visit TNIS which stands for Takapuna Normal Intermidiat School.When we arrived, the principal of TNIS came to welcome us and then sorted the groups of 15 to do the activities.The activities were: making pens, making candles, baking cookies and making and playing wood flute.I was making pens and then I thought "This is the best thing I have ever done!"Then, at the end we went to the fiction room in the library to say thank you for letting us visit and also to say bye.

Heroes at Milford School


On Tuesday 6 September at 9:30 a parent from Year 2 (who is a police officer) visited room 10, 11, 13 and 14 as part of our Heroes unit.
He talked to us out on the court so we could see (and hear) the police car. He also brought two of his colleagues, dog handlers and two police dogs, Marsh and Pronto to show the children.
At 10am, the police helicopter flew over and landed on the field.
Year 2 went over for a closer look at it. Our students were listening very carefully while the police officers were talking about the Police Helicopter, its equipment and way of operating it.

It was a great visit, as our year two classes had a chance to meet their heroes and ask them lots of questions. Please visit our website for more photos http://www.milford.school.nz/category/image-galleries/our-heroes-polce-officers
