Mayor of Gisborne came on an unexpected visit

Today the Mayor of Gisborne came on a very unexpected visit.We were planning to have an open day at the Hamanatua stream.We had to postpone because of bad weather.The mayor(Meng Foon) was really kind to stop by and  visit us.We told   him why we decided to do all these projects.



Who is he?
Meng Foon is the Mayor of Gisborne as you already know.He can speak fluent cantonese,maori,english. He signs all commissions, licenses, and permits granted by legislative authority, as well as other instruments that require his signature under the law.He takes a very important roll as being a mayor for Gisborne.Here is a picture of my class and me with the mayor.

  

Hamantua project

At our school we are focusing on action speaks louder than words we all did a project to do with actions speak louder than words. Me and my team chose to plant some harakeke near the stream .When people are cycling on the footpath and fall over they won't go tumbling in the stream.

Why plant harakeke(Flax) well that's because harakeke are strong and flexible. Which means if someone was riding their bike and fell over the harakeke would bounce back up and no harm would be done.Here are some pictures.
