Grandparents Day

This is the writing by our year 2 students:

"At the hall, we sang a Maori song. Then we did a show of Miss Bunny. My grandad came." Etienne, Room 10.

"On Monday, it was our school Grandparents' Day. My grandparents didn't come. I wish they came. It was fun." Vicky, Room 10.

"At assembly, we saw lots of grandparents. We sang a Maori song, the national anthem, and Miss. Bunny. Even the junior choir sang. Some students played the recorder. I feel proud, because we tried very hard to be Milford stars." Jesse, Room 11.

"I felt a little bit nervous because all the grandparents were sitting and looking at us. I didn't want to make a mistake." Neda, Room 11

"I felt happy, but also sad, because my grandparents weren't there." Zara, Room 11

"I felt nervous because my nanna was looking at me. She smiled. We sang to all the grandparents. The people laughed when we put our hands up. My nanna sat with me." Katie, Room 11

"I was sad because my grandparents could not come. They all live in Austria." Ben, Room 11

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
