Democracy Thursday

Good evening,

Just back from buying more calico for the rest of the Chitons, the first of which some of the children wore this afternoon as we had the first taste of Ancient Greek democracy...a vote for class leader between two intrepid volunteers.

First they had to state their case...


"I'll give you all icecream!"


"I'll do whatever you want!"

...which the Polis (the community of a Greek city state) carefully considered...



...and voted upon.


Democracy was the winner on the day!


And once again in the morning Room 2 wrote. It was great seeing Kakariki group helping out Whero group so enthusiastically while Kahurangi beavered away.
