the mansion Mansion house facts

Mansion House on Kawau Island was originally
\the residence for the mine superintendent on
the island. In 1862 the island and home were
purchased by Sir George Grey, one of
New Zealand’s most influential and
controversial political figures.

Kawau Island was purchased by Sir George Grey in 1862.
He spent a fortune developing Kawau as his island home
with many exotic and native species. He also converted
the former residence of the mine superintendent into his
home.

Known today as Mansion House, it has been in public
ownership since 1967 and was extensively restored to its
former appearance in 1977-80 after many years of neglect.
It has been furnished with a valuable collection of antique
furnishings largely donated or loaned to DOC, and is open
to the public.

Mansion House Valley

The Mansion House gardens and immediate reserve/lawn
area are known as the Mansion House Valley.

Sir George Grey was an enthusiastic collector of plants
and animals in the tradition of wealthy Victorian gentlemen.
He planted hundreds of different trees and plants in
Mansion House Valley, developed orchards and a 13-acre
olive grove, introduced many exotic and native animal
species, and planted the slopes with conifers to create
a setting for his house and gardens.

The pines and other exotic tree species, peacocks,
weka's and wallabies seen in Mansion House Valley
today are all legacies of Sir George Grey.

Hula-hoop recount

Who: Room 8

What: hula-hoop challenge

When:wednesday 16th october

Where: hard court outside our class.

First we lined up outside and listened to the instructions,
next we headed to the hard court and we held hands and
got in a circle. When we were all settled miss parrant gave us
a purple hula-hoop to go around, so what we did was put our
feet in first then head and pass it to the next person, or it could
go head first then feet in. After we warmed up we split up in
two groups of girls and boys. Well obviously the boys went first
and they thought they won but they got a penalty from my
teacher. Then the girls went and we won fair in square but the
boys got a bit jealous and called us losers but we didn’t mind,
because at the end of the day, they are just a bunch of losers
when they mock the winners but it was just a game and we all
had fun.
