Today was a very special day for the year 3, 4, and 7&8 because we got a visit from the Prime Minister (Jacinda Ardern) of New Zealand. Since yesterday I was at softball I had no idea this was happening. We started the day off like any other day but then we got informed that the Prime Minister, which is one of the most important people in New Zealand, was coming to have lunch with us. She came here because of an email that some of the students at Pt England wrote to her all about the amazing yummy lunches.
Right when she walked through the doors we were in the middle of singing. Right when we finished that song we sat down in silence with big, happy, and welcoming smiles. She was really inspiring and said a lot of amazing quotes for us. One of them was " You don't have to be old for us to care about what you think, because we do care" another one was " If you think you can't do something think of me" she said this because she didn't think she could do all the work that a Prime Minister goes through but she tried it and ended up doing an outstanding job.
Then after all the amazing speeches from both Mr Burt and the Prime Minister we all said grace then went back to our classes to eat lunch. She rotated around our space and talked about how the lunches were. She came to room 4 and spent most of her time with us which was such a blessing.
