Grandparent's Day in 'The Hub'.
Well....what a fantastic day we had by all yesterday at Netherton School. It was grandparent's day and we had around 80 grandparents come and spend the day with us. Children had the opportunity to share some of their learning and the grandparents shared games, books and activities that they used to play when they were at school.

ReplyDeleteIt was really fun to have so many grandparents there.
I was bit pooped that my grand parents came for the morning block (with my sister) but then had to go after two minutes with me...
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to hear a story about another grandparents encounter with the strap though. When he was a boy he stole the principals strap. He was asked to return it, it was returned in pieces!
My favourite part of grandparent day was when we were doing the art, I liked doing this because I was blending with the pastels and I really thought it was one of my best pastel pieces of done in the hub.I also liked learning about how it was when they were in primary, One of the things I learnt was was that they called the strap the cane.
ReplyDeleteAt school yesterday I went with Pabby & Duggy and Myra who are Breanna's grandparents I showed them my Morrison family history. We went and played elastics and marbles it was really fun having everybody's grandparents at the school, I really liked when we did the art.!!!!!!

my favourite was play a knuckle game with my pop when you hit there knuckles and they try to doge then the story with Gary about taking the headmasters strap and cutting it up and the artwork when you could do a flower or a family tree the flower you could put words that describe your grandparent in the peddles or come up with something else and the story that my pop told me that my mum and had to put there feet in cow poo in the farm and when my dad walked to the river
ReplyDeletemy fav part of the day was getting to spend time with my grandparent's at school and showing my what they used to play with for example my granddad had a paint can made to holes on each side and stuck a piece of wire through it and then tied string to the wire on each side

At school yesterday (Grandparents Day) my favourite part was making a family tree.seeing all the happy Grandparents enjoying the day we made for them and learning about their past and what they used to do at school and home and learn about their teachers.
ReplyDeleteMy granddad said that when he went to school he wasn't very good @ handwriting, so the teacher got the cane & waked his finger tips so he couldn't write! (he said that teachers where stupid back then)
ReplyDeleteI think that grandparents day was really cool because you got to interact with lots of people while they told you about there past.
I got to spend a lot of time with lots of people @ grandparents day, I had soooooooooo much fun. ;~)
When I was talking to Rhian's Granddad he told us that he got the cane about 23 times I dunno. I did a family tree and I really enjoyed talking to all the grandparents. The grandparents had a lot of funny an interesting stories to tell us I had fun making the family trees. we did some fun art with our grandparents to. It was a great experience.

I liked it when Nana and I made the family tree .
When Nana went to school they had 2 class rooms and if they wanted to have a swim they had to walk over the hill to the creek.
Josh's grandma told us about her child hood in England. She told us that the technology was different because she did not have technology at school like us. She was impresssed with our work.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite part of the day was asking the grandparents questions and listening to stories they had.It was fun making the paper vases with flowers.It was just a really fun day even though I wasn't looking forward to it at first.
ReplyDeletemy favourite part of grandparents day was when we done our art,Liked doing it because I got to blend all the colours .I also liked learning about what they done when they were little one thing, I learnt was that was that they called the strap the cane and Rhians granddad told us that he got the cane lots of times. I bet I would get the cane sometimes but not much because I quite good but that would be if I was at school we grandparent were.
ReplyDeleteMy FAVOURITE part was when my grana brought her skittles.

My favourite part was when Flynn's grandpa brought in the toy that shoots out the marbles. Flynn got 250 points and Jayden got 250 points as well. The toy was made of wood and nails and is about over 70 years old. With the toy the limit is that you are only allowed 15-21 marbles .
ReplyDeleteI had my poppa come and help me i asked him if he had the strap he said 'yes only once' i giggled and he helped me with making my family tree and my pot of flowers i enjoyed spending time with my poppa and after he left i was talking to all the other grandparents and they had some pretty good stories up their sleeves and there were some funny stories and happy stories and some sad and scary stories they had brought some games my favourite part was when they told stories they where super funny and i got to show him around the school

I liked how one of the grand parents named Garry told us about how they hid the strap and cut it up into pieces and the art we did and how they had to stick their feet in cow poop to keep their feet warm.
ReplyDeleteMe, poppa and granny did our artwork and then I showed them my work on my chromebook and they loved it it! It was pretty cool that they came all the way from Taupo to my school.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite part was sharing time with my Nana she said the teachers got a bucket, milk and cocoa she would get a steel cup and she would pretend she had no cocoa and so she got 2 cups of cocoa a day and if the teachers find out she would get the strap she got the strap one time she did` get the strap because her best friend told on her.

My favourite part was when Ruben Shore's granddad played catches with me with the rugby ball and when Ruben 's granddad dropped the ball it was funny.
ReplyDeleteI loved spending time with my Granddad and loved hearing all the stories about in the olden days. I showed him around the school and he said "you are so lucky to have this school- you are lucky you moved. What a wonderful school".
