Welcome back or welcome to my blog!
Today the Prime Minister of New Zealand is visiting Pt England School and me and Nadia get to do an interview with her! She will be coming super soon and me and Nadia will be having our last practise of what we will say and the questions we'll ask. See you guys after the interview and i'll tell you if it goes alright!
EDIT!
We just finished the interview and it went SPECTACULAR! Me and Nadia were mentally screaming when she came and sat next to us and meanwhile a lot of students were gathered outside the fence that we were in. It was so fun and she was so relaxed and easy to talk to! She came to our school because Room 21 Emailed her a video that was about us enjoying the free lunches!
"You don't need to be old for people to care what you think" is one of the things she told us! Here were the questions we asked her and her answers summarised!

"My family is great!"
Nadia: Speaking of your family, we saw Neve on the news from Waitangi Day. How do you manage being a mum and prime minister at the same time?

Kia ora Aye,
ReplyDeleteWow isn't that the experience of a lifetime!? Can you believe that you really got to interview the Prime Minister? I think you did extremely well to appear so calm and collected.
