D4-A1-SLJ-leading the charge
Principle for a week.
If I were boss for a week, I'd make the park more better and have a cafeteria for staffs and teachers and let the have there own cafeteria. I will have guards around the school to protect the kids, have lots of sports gear so the children don't to fight over the gear. A cooler room so the kids can chill out, and have three different types of pools, 1 for the little kids ,2 for the year 6 and 5's, 3 for the year 8 and 7's. And I'll get a theater for the kids to chill out, I'll get a gym for the children to work and get strong and healthy. I'll get a rest room and get a big fun park, get a water park, I'll get a slushy machine for when ever its hot. And to have more time of school, 9.00 till 4.30.

Term 3 reflection
Term 3 reflection
What I have enjoyed at school this term is Kapa Haka because I expect my actions and singing to be perfect. I did really well at Cross Country. I think my maths could have been better this term because my basic facts was higher than before. One thing I want to change about being in Tui Hub is my basic facts because everyone usually exhausted of running around at lunchtime and everyone doesn't feel like working.

My story about the Luge - The Luge
" Get up lazy bones!" said my uncle Adam
" Yes we do!" said my brother Declan happily!
I didn't really know what the Luge was, so I guess I just had to roll with it.
After we all got ready and had breakfast we all went out to the car and went off to the car and drove off to the Luge. Once we got to Hamilton we went to have lunch. Then went back to the car and got going. We only had an half of hour to get to the Luge. I wondered if it will be fun or boring. It looked really fun on the website my uncle showed me and my brother Declan then. My uncle said that we were going to stop to get some drinks. We stayed in the market for long cause we got more things than drinks. We were so close to the Luge that we only had 15 minutes left. Then we finally got to the Luge.
We saw the Luge when we first got to Rotorua. So we parked in the parking lot and went in. When we payed for the turns we had to wait in line to get on to the skype. It was so scary going up because we were so far up. After we had to get a helmet and get on to our carts. When we got on we had to practice for a bit then go!. It was so fun going down because it was going fast. We got to the end and then we had 2 more turns to go! WOOHOO!.
We are learning how to write a story about the holidays. I found it hard because I couldn't remember what really happened cause I forgot.
Next time I will remember to put more sound words to make it more interesting.

And it does sound like an huge thing, I was getting scared. But I was still looking up on the hill. And it was an volcano explosion!.It told mum “to hurry up and get in to the car before it catches up to us”. She left everything on the sand, she got in the car and started the car and started to drive off.the lava almost hit us. Mum went fast as I almost hit myself on the passenger seat. And then we were close to home. Mum said “ were home now. I said to mum “ can we never go to that beach ever again.
