Grandparents' Day

Grandparents’ Day

Do you know that there is a celebration that HES has? Grandparent’s Day! Ivy asked us to line up nicely and we went to the squishy hall. After that, we sang for our grandparents, then we went to the top courts to eat morning tea.

Yesterday, it was grandparents’ day. I was so excited! Do you want to know who came? I’m guessing you want to know. My granddad and my Nanna and my gran. When they left, I was about to sob because I love them.

Yesterday was grandparents’ day, you can bring your Nanna, poppa, grandma and grandpa to school. I brought my nanna and grandma. My Nanna brought some delicious brownies for the class. My grandma got lost and I thought she had gone without saying “good bye”. But then she came back to the classroom later on. I felt so sad when she went.

Yesterday, we went to the squishy hall. Were you there? Did you know it was grandparents’ day? We sang a song for them. They cheered and clapped for us. Would you like to know what songs we sang? We sang “City Life with I Love the Mountains, Islands, We are Aotearoa”. Then we made flowers with them.

Yesterday, we had grandparents’ day but my grandma is in China. First, we went to the tiny hall. After that we went back to the classroom. My whole class sang them the songs “Islands, We are Aotearoa and I Love the Mountains”.

Kete Aronui Art Exhibit

The Art Exhibit

Me, my mum and dad went to the art exhibit. My mum and dad thought that our artwork was the best. Ours was the tapa cloth. I loved all of them. There were beautiful flowers. All were nice, especially Ivy’s. We sketched some of the artworks, too. I also enjoyed the lemonade that was at the art exhibit, it was yum.
