that welcomed Mr Brown at our powhiri.

Mayor's visit
Today Mr Len Brown, the Mayor of Auckland, visited our school! He was invited to visit Arahoe School by a student from Room 13. We had a special powhiri (a Maori welcoming ceremony) in our hall for him. We sang songs for Mr Brown and our principal and some students greeted him with speeches. Mr Brown spoke to us and told us that he was so excited to be visiting our school. He sang us a special song in Maori.
