A Recount By Francis

Going to Parakai for Prizegiving      

On Saturday I went to the amazing park. It was one of the best days of my life! I loved it there. Did you know there was a hydroslide and we were pushing each other off? We lost our mats and after my first turn I went on it like 100 times!Then it was prize giving. I did not get anything but that’s ok because I still had fun.

5 Ways Adults Could Improve

5 Reasons How Adults Could Improve
(A Persuasive Report)
By Oska

I think that adults need to change ( a lot! )

Firstly everybody knows that parents hardly ever let you  go on the computer so... we should be alowed on it more often.

Secondly surely you would agree that adults need to stop making too many rules. They make lots of rules about lots of stuff and why don't they follow them?

Thirdly of course you would agree that adults should not always be alowed to check their e-mails. Then they don't have good  time with us.

Fourthly  it's obvious that adults need to let you stay inside. why do we have to go outside while  they stay inside and watch tv?

Lastly WE all  know  that adults keep on asking us things over and over again! ( This reminds me of my mum!)

So ... this clearly shows that adults  really, really need to improve!
