Almost 200 grandparents were treated to morning tea and a chance to join their grandchildren in classrooms at Westmere Primary School yesterday.
Senior students Connor Hawley, Phoenix Grammaticogiannis and Vincent Gil greeted visitors at the gate and guided them to the hall where a morning tea provided by students awaited them.
Asher Hodson 6, hosted all four of his grandparents and showed his grandfather Alan Brider the charcoal portrait he had made of him.
Ruby Brown 6, was hosting her grandparents Keith and Anne Brown who had travelled from Upper Hutt to spend the day with her.
"We used to live up the river when Keith was a teacher at Koriniti," said Mrs Brown.
"It's lovely to come up and spend the day here."
