Firstly we went into an English class and on the wall was a map of the world and down the bottom of this map, was a really weird looking place tucked in neatly under a weird looking Australia. This place barely resembled somewhere I know and had a similar name....I suppose at least the Chathamsaaret will be happy they appear to be a bit closer to Uusi Seelanti. Another really interesting thing was that Finland had built the whole map around themselves being centre of the world. Now I have seen this before, with other countries centring themselves, but I have never actually seen us try to do that. Why?
Next on the wall of the school, we spotted a series of black and white framed photographs (except for the one photograph that actually looked a bit green??) and we thought them to be a series of shots of previous Principals, all looking down in judgement of the students of today. Each one trying to out do the other with looks of distain and loathing and general superiority. Most had that 'I can snap you with a look!' kind of face, so I was pretty convinced I had it right (and was quietly practicing my version of the stare to start our own wall)
Imagine my surprise when it turned out the framed pictures were the countries Prime Ministers for the last little while. I say last little while because this is an old country and surely there must be more? ....and what about the green guy immediately before the door?
If the look they were going for was cranky, they nailed it! Except maybe that last guy.......?
