Guest Readers

On Monday the 23^rd of May some of the “Blues” players visited Milford School for Literacy Week. They read their favourite books to the classes. Unfortunately they could only visit some classes, but students still enjoyed meeting and greeting them. Elizabeth from Room 1 said “I felt excited because I wanted an autograph from them and it was lots of fun.” It was an opportunity for the students and everyone had a great time.

Muriwai Beach Education Day

On the 21^st, 22^nd and 23^rd of February years 5 and 6 had Beach Education Day at Muriwai Beach. We learnt how to spot rips, how to be sun and water smart and we also learnt the S, S, S, W, S, S, S, and S. It stands for Slip, Slop, Slap, Wrap, Slide, Step, Slurp, and Smear. After that the students went down to the beach and had a little swim with the lifeguards, teachers and parents. Some students practised life-saving skills with a red rescue tube. Laura from Room 2 said, “I think it was really exciting and adventurous and I also learnt lots.”
