Grandparents Day

On Wednesday Room 1's Grandparents came to school to share and support in our learning.

They arrived at 9am and were welcomed down at the hall by the Student Council. The Student Council then escorted them up to each class in groups.

Once in the classroom Grandparents sat with their Grandchildren and worked alongside them. Students had a list of possible activities to choose from on the board. It was awesome to see Granddads doing maths, Grandmas learning how to play Minecraft and other family members popping in to see what the students of Room 1 have been up to so far this year.

The Grandparents were then treated to a beautiful morning tea, where they also had the opportunity to walk around the book fair and buy their mokopuna something special. After the morning tea each class performed an item to celebrate the day. Most items were themed around family and ANZAC day. Room 1 performed three songs that the ANZAC soldiers sang when they were away at war.

The day wrapped up at around 12pm and Grandparents were allowed to take their mokopuna off school grounds for the rest of the day to treat them to a nice lunch or outing.

It was an awesome day for students, staff and whanau!
