Farewell for Mrs. Comb

Today, Milford School Librarians had a shared lunch and farewelled their special “Mrs. Comb”. They have been helping Mrs. Comb in the library every day and had a number of opportunities to learn some of the library skills from this awesome lady. They are very sad to say “good bye and good luck with your retirement”, but also very grateful for all the knowledge they gained by helping in our school library, having Mrs. Comb as their tutor.

Disco

Last Friday, there was a Disco at Milford School. It was fun. Most children were wearing black and white clothes. The music was very loud. I was dancing with my friend. We could buy biscuits, drinks, toys and buns. I enjoyed it. For more photos, please visit our website http://www.milford.school.nz/category/image-galleries/disco

Rhythm Interactive

On Monday morning, we went to Rhythm Interactive in the hall. In front of each student there was a drum. We had to copy the rhythm that the people on the stage were playing. It was very loud. Our favourite part of the show was the African instrument called Ngoni. We also liked when the three people on the stage, Lucy, Johnny and Mr Raphael, the room 11 student teacher went YAY! We had lots of fun there. We wish they could come again. For more photos, please visit our website http://www.milford.school.nz/rhythm-interactive-3

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
