Hi Neighbours, Imagine you were waiting for the promise of the Living Wage to be delivered, but instead got a 20pc pay cut. That's happened to staff employed by contractors to clean Auckland Council premises. Read the story below:
Money had no meaning to the banker
Who was no more than a poor man’s debt
Money makes the world go around
He believed what his teacher had said
Money had meaning to the baker
Who sold baking to make some bread
Money makes the world go around

Who was no more than a poor man’s debt
Money makes the world go around
He believed what his teacher had said
Money had meaning to the baker
Who sold baking to make some bread
Money makes the world go around
And hungry mouths paid to be fed
Money had little meaning to younglings
Who happily exchanged coins for sweets
Money makes the world go around
And rewards spending with a treat
Money had intricate meaning to the developer
Who profited buying land from the crown
Money makes the world go around
For what is exchanged cannot be found
Money had meaning when people had dreams
Now our future is built on currency
Money makes the world go around
It is our lucid dream for our independency

At first, the teachers were a little shy about singing and dancing by themselves in their homes. However the response from our families was so positive, with lots of lovely comments, we were encouraged to keep going! It meant so much to our children and their families that they could see their teachers every day - even on the weekends. As all the teachers are together at Uplands Kindergarten in Level 3, we were able to sing and dance as a group and keep posting more songs, stories and Mother's Day activities.
