I Wonder

I wonder how iPads help me learn about new ideas?

If I was a School Principal

I believe that I would be a fantastic school principal for the following reasons.

Firstly I would go to the bank, get some money and buy hot soup and buttered bread for kids who go to school hungry because I know if kids are fed their learning levels go higher.

Secondly, for the company which I set up I would have lots of money and I could build the school a pool. If you are taking your class on a swimming trip and one of your students said they can't swim that’s why I think having a school pool is a useful idea.
Thirdly, I will absolutely make sure that there are no bully's in my school because I will set good rules that most teachers would agree with. One of my rules would be if anyone says a strong put down in front of the teacher they would be sent down to the green seat.

So in conclusion I strongly believe that I would be a great school principal.

If I Was The School Principal

I believe that I would be an awesome school principal because of many different reasons.

Firstly, I would let children buy beef or chicken noodles everyday at first and second break and it would only be $1. The reason why I would be selling them is so that kids with no food can have some. How I would do that is by going to New World and asking them for some free noodles in cups and in return I would let them make an advertisement in my school's newsletter.

Secondly, I would play with the kids so that they know I’m not boring and mean, I’m actually fun and nice. I would try to do that every second break.

Thirdly  I would make the school a big sand pit , so that the kids can have some fun in it and make awesome things. How I would do that is by asking a few people from the community, and in return let them come into the staff room and have some food for free!

In conclusion I think that I would make an awesome school principal for all of those reasons!                                                                                                                                                

 

If I was School Principal

I feel that, I would make a popular school principal and I can tell you all the reasons why.

Specifically, I will make free school breakfasts for all school students to help students learn. I’d ask all parents to please help organise and make a roster.

Secondly, I’d get a pool for school students to refresh up and learn to swim. We will do a garage sale to raise the money to build the pool.

Furthermore, I will separate the junior playground from the senior playground because seniors will push the juniors away. I will send out a notice to let all students know. Furthermore, I’d design a playground like Rainbows End and  I will do a fundraiser to get the money for activities and rides. This would make school students have exciting days and weeks.

As you can see, I’d make a wonderful principal for school students and make them have the dream of their life.

If I Was A Principal

I am strongly sure that I will make a great principal  for many reasons….

Firstly I am a kid so I know what kids would like and I will get them things that they like. I can achieve this by putting a question on Pepweb and children will write what they think they need in their classrooms to learn. The 3 top things they would like I would get for the children to learn, as long as they were sensible.
 

Secondly I would buy a big school pool so children could learn to swim and they would be safe and not drown. I would hire a bodyguard and open up a little stand that sells little swim suits and goggles. Therefore I need to raise money by having a cupcake stall where the cupcakes are made by the kind students who want to help our school.

Thirdly I believe that we should have free lunch and breakfast to help children learn at school by asking all the bakery's in Otara and Papatoetoe to give us food donations. In return I will pick lucky children to interview the bakery's and make an advertisement to persuade the children's parents to buy food from their bakery's.

Finally I'm so proud of our teachers and our children that I don’t just think - I know that they deserve a mini holiday on their birthday. Unless they misbehave before their birthday and they have to pick up rubbish at break times, but I will give them three chances.

I will be the most kind, honest, generous, and the most loyal

principal in Auckland and I will have the most luckiest kids in NZ .

Legend of the Kea

Long before the time of people there was a land far far away that was filled with the colourful plumage of birds and magnificent forest as far as you could see. All the birds shared a beautiful bird song and they lived in peace and harmony. Cheeky Krikta the kea always did mischievous things. Suddenly, birds began to lay more eggs and the time of quarrelling began. They stole food off other birds beaks and their pain made the sky dark. But then the incredible ruler of all the birds appeared Ka! He said "Why have you made a such a mess? For the first time the forest is the most disgusting place I've ever seen, you need to clean this mess up! Meet me in my tree so I may give you a place to live and your punishment then I will give you your beaks, wings and bird songs." But Krikta stole a beak, bird songs and wings. The next day Ka saw Krikta sing to Starling. Ka was horrified he said "who dared to give you a  beautiful bird song." Krikta didn't reply, so Ka left without giving Krikta a place to live. Then Krikta followed Ka into the Sun's light which shone on his wings and stained them an orange colour. Then Ka gave Krikta a comment he said , Krikta you are very smart but you now lose your bird songs.

The Cockatiel

One day last week, a dad wanted to enrol his son at our school. But then suddenly, a cockatiel landed on Mrs Compston's head! The dad grabbed a book and put the book on his head to protect his head. Toby must have scared it off in the library or the VW room. Mrs Osborne found the cockatiel and found it's owner on trade me. But the dad still wanted to enrol his son to our school! And then the cockatiel went back to its owner. The cockatiel had a punk hairstyle and red cheeks.

New Tree Hill

 

I believe we should plant a pohutakawa tree on One Tree Hill.

Firstly the pohutakawa is a symbol of N.Z. and our Christmas tree represents N.Z. and also it reminds us about the joy of Christmas.

Secondly it is a very strong tree and there is very heavy wind blowing on One Tree Hill.

Thirdly a pohutakawa tree can attract native birds who are very important pollinators that can make a great environment.

Finally and most inportantly it can last for 1,000 years so it can be there for ages.

It's obvious that a pohutakawa tree should be planted on One Tree Hill.

What tree should be planted on One Tree Hill?

I believe that we should plant a pohutukawa tree on One Tree Hill.
I think that the bright red pohutukawa is a strong tree and it is very windy up on One Tree Hill so it will survive. It is certain that it would attract beautiful native birds onto the pohutukawa tree. It is a symbol of New Zealand and reminds me about Christmas because red is a Christmas colour and the pohutukawa tree flowers are red.
In my opinion, we should plant a  pohutakawa tree on One Tree Hill.   

What tree should be planted on One Tree Hill?

In my opinion I surely think that a powhutakawa tree should be planted on One Tree Hill.
Firstly, it is a extremely strong tree and One Tree Hill is very windy so it will not fall down. Secondly, it can at least last for one thousand years if not more! Thirdly, native birds will suck up the nectar such as tuis, bellbirds and more.
Finally I think that a powhutakawa tree should be planted on One Tree Hill.

What tree should be planted on One Tree Hill?

I believe that we should plant a Pohutakawa tree on One Tree Hill because it is strong.

I think that the beautiful Pohutakawa tree has bright red flowers and it stands out so we can see it around Auckland. In my opinion it's a well known symbol of NZ and it's like our Christmas tree.

Thirdly native birds are attracted to the Pohutakawa tree because of the nectar.

For these reasons I think we should plant a Pohutakawa tree on One Tree Hill.

Cats and native birds

In my opinion I believe that cats should be allowed outside even though they eat native birds.

If cats stay inside all the time then they will get cheeky and start pooing and peeing everywhere in your house so that you have a mess to clean. 

Secondly you would not like to chase after your cat all of the time just to keep your cat inside!

Cats will get bored if they stay inside and they will start to rip up everything in your house ( like the curtains and the rubbish). 

In conclusion, I say that cats are allowed outside.
