Today we had a once in a life time opportunity...We met the Prime Minister! She came because she created a policy for schools to get free lunches and we are one of them! Room 21, which is a year 3 and 4 class emailed her about how much they liked the lunches. She loved the emails so much that she decided she wanted to come to our school.
It was such an awesome experience, when she arrived she joined us for an assembly. We sang waiata, said a karakia and listened to her speak. We couldn't believe what she said!
The Prime Minister talked to us about all the letters she get's (She reads all of them!). She said "You don't have to be old for people to care about you opinions". It inspired us because we thought you had to be an adult to speak up! She also told us a bit about her life and asked if their were any issues that worried us. We talked about Covid, the house prices and student access to advices.
After giving her some flowers and the Manaiakalani hook, she came to room four and ate lunch with us. She handed the lunches out one by one to everyone. We got asked question by the Prime Minister like: "What do you think could improve in the lunches?", and "What was your favourite lunch so far?".
The Prime Minister was really considerate when talking to us, she gave everyone a piece of her time. Our school is so grateful for this experience and hoped she enjoyed her visit. Thank you Prime Minister, for everything. We will never forget having lunch with you.
