Ice block Fundraiser

Friday 22nd September 2017 $2 per Ice block It’s that time of year again. Please help us fundraise for the Year 6 graduation. Ice blocks are from Much Moore (No artificial flavours and Made in NZ). All ice block orders and money will be collected at start of class on the 22nd September and delivered to the classroom at morning tea.

Principal’s Message As I write this newsletter I have heard of the tragic events involving students from Westlake Girls and Westlake Boys. I have contacted both schools and offered our support and love as they deal with this situation. It is timely to remember to support and reach out to each other, as many students witnessed the events, some being siblings of our students. We wish all involved a speedy recovery. As I mentioned in last week’s newsletter, the school is short of classroom space, hence the New Entrant class that started this term is in the music room with music being taken mainly in the staffroom. Next term, another New Entrant room opens, which means the Library will be boxed up in anticipation of its move to the new library when it is completed. To this end, as of next Monday the Library will be closed to allow us to box everything and move it to a temporary place in a container. While this is not ideal, the classrooms still have plenty of books and we also encourage you to use the fantastic public libraries in the interim. We are unsure how long the books will be boxed but will have the new Library in action as soon as possible. Those students in Years 1-3 that are due a progress or achievement report will have this come home tomorrow – please check their school bags. Milford School Hall is a polling venue on Saturday, although students in Years 4-6 had their turn at voting earlier this week – see their story later in this newsletter. A reminder that the student-led conferences are on next Thursday. I hope you have booked your conference time so your child can share their learning with you. Please do not bring siblings into the classroom as this is a time for undivided attention with each child. To book, please log on to the following website: www.schoolinterviews.co.nz and type in the school code: h5b4n. Please also ensure you have let the teacher know what your child is doing at 12.30pm that day. We do encourage you to make arrangements for your children to be picked up, although limited supervision in the school hall until 3pm will be available for those who need it. A google form is being sent out for you to complete regarding this. Term 3 seems to have flown by, and it finishes next week on Friday at 3pm. Term 4 starts on Monday 16 October when we look forward to welcoming all the students back from their holidays. Have a great last week of term! Sue Cattell Principal

Milford School eager to vote! By Olivia Moot and Isla Thomson: Room 7 Year 4, 5 and 6 students at Milford school are taking part in the election. When you vote, it’s very simple. All you need to do is say your name to an issuing officer, and tick 2 boxes - one party vote and one electoral vote.

Mandy is a keen issuing officer. We interviewed her and she said “I feel very important”. She might even be an issuing officer for a job she feels so important!

We interviewed Mrs Smith a Year 4 teacher and we asked her how she feels about her class voting. She said “I feel excited that the children are voting”. We asked her what she thinks would happen if you had a vote for children. She thinks that it would probably change the world. We also interviewed Jeremy, a Year 6 student in Room 1. “ I feel that ALL ages should be able to vote” he says. Thank you everyone who participated in kids’ voting. You should feel very proud, because you have had your say. Parents, we encourage you to vote. Everyone should have their say. HAPPY VOTING EVERYONE!
