Our meeting with the Mayor

This afternoon Room Kowhai were thrilled to meet Gore's mayor Mr Tracey Hicks in person. Mr Hicks came in to discuss the qualities and attributes that makes a special leader. He outlined his roles and responsibilities within the Gore District Council and gave us some good advice to take with us in the future.

It was neat to be able to get a glimpse into the life of a mayor - he is an extremely busy man!! We were also given the opportunity to ask His Worship some questions about his role.

Thanks Mr Hicks for supporting our learning at East Gore (0:

Homework tasks

Check out these creative kids who have worked hard to present their town/city for homework. A special mention must go to Eve & Jordan who have a 3D model of their towns. They look cool ladies!

Britney's Smurf Town is fantastic. She has created her town for us to eat!! Chocolate, marshmellow, jelly and biscuits were used to make this funky town. Very cool - we love it!!
