It’s taken me a few days to blog about this, but here it is… I haven’t blogged in a while now. I’ve finally got around to it.
So Wednesday. An average sort of day, you’d guess. Well, not quite.
Arriving at school, we noticed a large group of people walking around with the head teacher. Entering tutor time we were told that “someone important” was visiting our school today, and there would be camera crews around. Went to the first lesson of double maths. Room change. Fine…
Got to the new room and were told by our maths teacher that there were going to be three people coming to our maths lesson. These three people, announced in this order, were:
- Minister for women Harriet Harman
- Education secretary Ed Balls
- And finally, the Prime Minister
Ok then. Sounds like fun! So we continued on with our maths lesson. Quadratics in simultaneous equations. What fun! We even got a presentation on the computer (that’s my maths teacher trying to show off, I expect). During our lesson camera crews and photographers slowly trickled in to the maths room standing at the back. They were even taking pictures, though no one had turned up yet. What’s all that about?
5 minutes later the door opened and out popped Gordon Brown (followed by the other two of course!). Everyone stared at him amazed that it was actually him. He asked a few questions, such as “Is maths your favourite subject?” and “What do you want to do, when you’re older?”. That must’ve been the quietest my class has ever been. After a while, they began to start talking to him, although it was still quiet. He went to go and talk to people individually while the other two came around too. Harriet Harman came and had a look at my maths book, looked confused, and said she was “crap at maths”.
About 15 minutes passed and they were all pulled out again to move on. Once they left, we discussed what we thought of our prime minister. I thought he looked different to how we see him on the TV. He was older and larger (my maths teacher used the term “cuddlier”) than how he seems on Television.
Ok that’s over… Back to maths! What a lot of homework we get…
