The Music Concert

The music school concert was very interesting and a lot of talent was shown. People played the guitar, the keyboard, the piano and the violin. It was exciting to see the number of children play their songs on a musical instrument. All of the children looked like they had practised their special songs a lot to have performed to such a high standard!

The ENVIRO lunchtime club

Every lunchtime the ENVIRO group come together with the rest of the school students who want to help out. They all work really hard to try and make our school a much better and environmentally friendlier place for our school students to be in. The things that the children do

(with adult supervision) are woodwork, painting the drains, building a school forest, and heaps of other things.

                        

                                                                              

Rugby World Cup Final

Last Sunday was THE final of the Rugby World Cup. It was a very exciting game with practically the whole of New Zealand and France cheering it on for their own team to make sure that their team knew that they were behind them the whole time for the duration of the game.

Unfortunately for France (but fortunately for New Zealand) they lost to the All Blacks with a score of 8-7. When the whole of New Zealand and the All Blacks had found out that they had won they all went hysterical and Christchurch completely forgot about the earthquake because they were so happy about winning! 

Netball

At Milford school we have a lot of different sports for students to play and one is Netball. Team 1 and Team 2 are the Year 6 teams. We have just had a prize giving for the Team 2 Netball team. They had it at McDonalds in Akoranga Drive.  The score for the game was 12-12, a draw! The netball team was SO excited! Priya said, “The netball game that we had was the last and it was a great way to end the netball season!”

                                                          

School Team Photos

On 4^th July, our school had its “Team Photos” day.  There were Netball, Cricket, Swimming, Hockey, Gardening Club, School Council photos and many more.  We had lots of photos taken and some people even got 4 or 5 photos taken! We had to remember to wear our school sports uniform and a nice smile. In a few weeks time, we will be able to order photos of our choice.

Milford Idol

Milford Idol is going to be happening in week 7.  Milford Idol is basically like American Idol but it is held at Milford School. Children enter in Milford Idol and then sing their own song that they have chosen to perform. At the moment we are holding Auditions in the school hall on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

I have entered Milford Idol before and trust me, IT’S REALLY AWESOME!

I performed a play with my best friend Elizabeth. Lots of people in our school entered and sang.

Every second year our school holds a Milford Idol for every body to come and see/enter.

Janice from Room One said, “It’s very entertaining for people to watch”.
