On Wednesday 26th of August, the Mayor of Manukau City, Mr Len Brown, visited our school as part of the Principal for a Day Programme.
First he came to an assembly and he sang Po Kare Kare Ana for us. Because Daffodil the lamb is a member of Huia 2's class, she came to the assembly also. Look for her in the photo.
After the assembly, Mr Brown came to Mrs Vincent's Maths swap class just in time for a basic facts test. We have to try and get 100% in less than five minutes. The basic facts are in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Some children in our maths class can get 100% in less than three and a half minutes.
Can you find the Mayor, Mr Brown, in this photo?
We won't tell you what Mr Brown got in the test... but he has some homework to do.
Then he went to visit other classes around the school.
Today, we babysat the little lamb Daffodil because she came into our classroom. She wandered around.... and she left something behind on the carpet.....
Mrs Irwin from Huia 2, next to our room, came to talk to us about fund raising for the SPCA on Monday. She asked us to bring money to buy cakes which her class are selling to raise funds for the SPCA. She showed us a photo from a newspaper article about a dog which had not nearly enough food for about three months. The dog had been dumped at the SPCA overnight. It was horrible and cruel.

A note from Mrs Vincent: Check out Daffodil's progress. Check out the photo of her last week and the photo of her this week. She is certainly growing!
(Established 2009) This is the history of our Year 7 and 8 classes in Huia 1 at The Gardens School, NZ. We wrote for ourselves, our families and friends and for anyone who wanted to know what life was like at our school. From 2009 to 2013, Huia 1's teacher was Mrs Vincent. 1n 2014, classes changed and Huia 1 became Miss Murphy's room, with Mrs Vincent teaching on Thursday afternoons in Term 1. This blog has now ceased regular publication but is a record of our time together in Huia 1.
That lamb is just ridiculously gorgeous! And she looks very happy and relaxed too. Saw Len Brown on Sunrise this morning - v impressed that he visited your school! :)

ReplyDeleteCool! It is good that you have a very honorable visitor and a little lamb in addition. I hope they continue visiting your school. Thanks for sharing.
