Welcome to the Middle Schools’ amazing work!
On Saturday, November 21st, the Advanced Ukulele Group went to a Kiwilele Festival. The Kiwilele are a massed orchestra of 1300 ukulele playing school children.
We were going to try to make a world record of having the most people playing ukulele together. We had a competition of which school decorated their gazebos the best. Some schools had pictures, balloons and ENPS had both paintings and balloons. First prize was a free ukulele for every student of the winning school. There were 1300 kiwilele players and their parents, friends and teachers.

We would like to thank everyone who sent along cellphones to school. We have collected 112 cellphones for Starship Childrens’ Hospital! These have been sent off but we are still able to collect any unwanted cellphones and forward them on!
Natasja from Room 5 brought in the most cellphones – 13! Followed by Ana from Room 14 and Jayna from Room 5 who each brought in 7 cellphones!
Thank you to everyone for joining in this great sustainable effort!
Dear Families
Room 5 children have been learning about rubbish. We have found out what types of rubbish can be recycled and what can’t be. We discovered that rubbish that doesn’t go in blue bins can be recycled elsewhere. We found out that unwanted cellphones can be collected and sent to Starship Childrens’ Hospital. Starship Hospital send the cellphones to overseas people. The money they collect helps the children in the hospital.
Auckland Boys Grammar Pipe Band performed in front of Epsom Normal Primary School on Thursday the 14th of May. Bag pipes originally came from Scotland then as people migrated, their music went all around the world. Now we were very lucky to have the bag pipe players from the Auckland Boys Grammar School to come and play for us. They had six bag pipe players, one base drum, four little drums and two medium drums.
