Sharing Assembly Singing

Every term, Milford School has 2 or 3 sharing assembly.In a sharing assembly, different groups and class share their skills with the whole school. In these videos you will see the ukulele group playing 2 of their songs, Whole World and Hound Dog, and they sound really good! 

Police Visit

At Milford School, one of Term 4's topics is “Keeping Ourselves Safe (KOS)”.  A police officer came and told us about the 7 abuses; emotional, sexual, family, neglect, cyber, physical and no abuse.   The police officer told us about other abuses that are very harmful for us.  She told us how to keep ourselves safe from other violence and that if we are involved in any of the abuses tell an adult that you trust, for example (parent, teacher and friend).

The Stu Duval show

On Thursday 28^th October, Stu Duval (a famous New Zealand artist and actor) came to our school to put on a show. He told us his very own made up Christmas story called Jingle Bull. He also showed us how he learned to draw at school. He taught us one very important thing- S, 2 dots, a prickle and a line. His show was very entertaining and funny. Rhiana Merota described the show as “cool and interesting”. Janice Lim said the show was “creative and funny”.

Year 6 Speeches

At the end of Term 3 the Year 6 students did a speech competition. All the students had to prepare their own speech independently and present it to the whole class. Lots of them had no experience presenting a speech before and were nervous. The teachers and a buddy marker got to rate students’ speech out of ten in many different kind of skills. The best two speakers from each class got to share their speech in the Year 6 syndicate assembly and all the finalist were boys! Lots of Year 6 students had a great experience and now, lots of them are ready for some more advanced intermediate speeches!

Training like the All Blacks!

Recently, the Year 5/6 has been training for our upcoming athletics event. Everyone’s training really hard like the French rugby team ready for the All Blacks, running, throwing and jumping. Nicole from Room 1 says, “It’s really good for us because if we never did this, then on Athletics Day we probably wouldn’t know what to do. So my last word is …. IT’S REALLY GOOD!” We’ve all enjoyed the time training as we are also doing P.E.

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.
