On Tuesday, year one, two and three went to the hall to learn how to play the drums. Two people were on the stage. They showed us how to do the drums. I was next to Nara and Craig. We had to copy the people at the stage.

Coco the puppy

Coco, a five month old puppy,came to our school on Monday. Coco is training to be a guide dog. When she wears a red coat, it means that she is training and we should not pat her. Her favourite toy is a flower pot. She loves to walk and swim on Milford beach.
You can't really see her, because she is sooooo black. She has a shiny and soft fur. She is cute. This Friday, all the Milford School children will be wearing red shirts, and bring a gold coin donation to help training guide dogs and blind people.

Doctor's visit

Mr. Brick, who is a surgeon, came to our school to teach us more about a human body, because our topic is all about human body, for example: digestion, nutrition and healthy food. First, when Mr. Brick came to the hall, he told us that healthy food is very good for us and there are some good fats that are needed for our brain. Next, he showed us a life or how he became a surgeon. It was a sort of spooky or scary for me when he showed us a picture of a bone.
Then he told us some things that he needs when he operates on people, for example, goggles, a hat to cover your hair, a mask and gloves. He told us about some other things, but I can not remember them.
Miss Garnett, my teacher, had to choose one person to go on the stage and, she chose me. I don’t know why.
So I went up on the stage. They had to operate on me. Well, it was a fake operation. It was a sort of fun. It felt weird, very weird. At the end of the show, everybody clapped, and of my friends cried, because she was worried about me. It was fun.

we are the world

Here we are, the Milford School students, coming from Japan, Korea, China, Thailand and Chile.

SOCCER COACHING

Rangitoto Island

Last week we went to Rangitoto Island. We got into the ferry. I was at the top of the ferry. When we got to the wharf, I got out and we walked and walked. Sometimes we rested. First we went to the Kidney Fern Glen. I saw some little plants and we saw big trees. Then we came back and we walked again. There were parent helpers, teachers and the principal. It was dangerous. It took almost two hours to get to the summit. I was tired and I was thirsty. When I got to the summit, I was proud to me. There was a beautiful view. When we were eating lunch there were so many bees there. So the boys were screaming. I was scared, too. When we came down, I was hungry, tired and we had to wait for one hour. I was bored. When the ferry came to Rangitoto, I was happy, because I can rest at home. When I got into at home I lay down. It was a fun but tiring day.

EOTC WEEK

Last week I went to the Millennium Centre.
We played water polo.
It was great. I like swimming and playing in the water.
My dad came as a parent helper.
We also did rock-climbing.
I got up to the very top. It was not hard for me.
