Simon O´Connor´s visit




Reflect on Simon O'Connor's visit to our school.  
From our brainstorm, choose the 20 most important words.
Rich, MP, His past - Trained 9 years as a priest, Democracy, parliament, Policies, Helped the unfortunate, Fencing, No time to spend with family, Comparing National and Politics, (Mother, family and friends inspired him to become a MP) Lived in Whangarei, In the opposition team in 6 years,


Write a summary to describe what the life as an MP. Use Simon O’Connor as your example.
Living life as a MP would mean that you would sacrifice all the bonding time with your family and dedicate it all to finishing assignments. Also being an MP you have to decide with all the tax money that comes in what is the best thing to use the money on that people really need in their community like more classes in schools because of the houses population is going up. The best quote I think to use if your a MP is “NEvER GIVE UP” because it will always give you encouragement to carry on for when you have bad days or when you miss your family.

Explain to Simon O’Connor one of the biggest problems in our community.
One of the BIGGEST PROBLEMS in our community is our parks and public places. Our parks are old, dirty and are even starting to grow mold on the slides, swing sets and all the other equipment on the park which is why their are hardly any kids in the parks anymore. Also our Public places are getting vandalized and trashed by young teenagers that don't want to obey the law which is making us as a community look bad and I think nobody that lives in our community wants to look bad.

Hi Tane. Great blog post and thanks for sharing your impressions on my talk. I am pleased you liked the 'never give up' aspect of what I shared. I think persevering - be at school or in parliament - is very important. I also share your concerns around the parks in our community. We all want them to be tidy safe places, so good to know that you think a lot of improvement is needed. I will have a chat to the people who look after these. Thanks again for having me visit. Cheers, Simon
