The lost rugby ball!

On a warm sunny day, Maia was playing with her rugby ball and all of a sudden the dark brown ball disappears. She ran to the rugby field but it was not there.  She asked her mum if she had seen it but her mum had not seen it. Next, she walked to the shop and asked if they had seen it and the answer was no. Maia sat down and thought about her rugby practice at 2:00. She was supposed to take her own rugby ball to rugby. Three minutes later there was a knock on the door it turned into a BANG BANG  Maia walked to the door with tears dripping down her face. She opened the dark oak Door touching the golden handle in surprise. When she had opened the door there was a man holding the exact rugby ball she had. She thanked the man. He knew that she had looked and looked. Maia and the man walked inside well the man told Maia his name and that was Mark. Thanks got to go to rugby now see you later. "Thank you so much, Mark, "she said before walking out the door.

The lost spider

On a warm, sunny day Jenny and Josh went to the big round yellow shop that says “Get a pet on special”.
Josh said, ”Can we please have a spider?”.
“Take one and pay me a dollar and that will be fine,” said the shop owner.
“Let's go home, wait have we got him a cage? Yes we do” said Jenny. They got home and thought ‘where's the spider?’. They looked everywhere and still no sign of the spider. They checked the car, no sign.
“Hurry Mum needs a spider for a pet to get us to learn how to look after a pet,” said Josh.
“Found him in the dirty washing sleeping as quiet as a mouse,” said Jenny.
Mum then arrived and said “What great responsible children I have.

The principals Office


It all started a long, long time ago when homework was invented No kid liked homework it sucked. Instead, Maui didn’t do his homework and played. The grumpy Mr grump the principal had caught Maui playing in the middle of homework time. He said so loud that the whole school could hear it” GO TO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE”. Maui sprinted into the principal's office in shook to see the handcuffs. It had been so long since he got in trouble. Maui got in trouble from having staple gun fight with his friend Mark years and years ago. Maui sighed then said “ I promise I will do my homework now, please let me go”. “NO,” said Mr. Grump. Maui got handcuffed to a bit of brown string that was extremely thick. Maui sat there until 3:00 pm and got told not to go on the internet until next month and had to do his homework twice a day. He tried to apologize but the answer was the same No, No and NO. Maui left at three o’clock and told his parents about his day and they told him we will go to school and talk with him. But they liked the principal.
The conversation went like this:
Principal: Hello
Mum: hi
Dad: hi our son got in trouble
Principal: yes
Mum: We like your punishments but please put it down to 3 weeks of not going on the internet
Principal: ok sure
Dad: Thank you bye.
So Mum and Dad did not do much for me. Maui asked the principal do you have a wife. He said “yes but she moved to another country so I remarried and don’t see this one either”. “I can help you if …… you don’t punish me and make homework be optional”. “Alright I will do it for you and my wife”.They Both screamed “let's go”. Principal got married and everyone was happy.

My great 8 thinking for cow problem

Best day ever for cows!
Cows,Cows,Cows.
Cows hanging out.
On the tramps the cows bounce.
Walking like lamps.
Sliding down and around the slides.
A Cow glides along the wet grass.
Talking to the school.
Squealing for a pool.
Cows playing rugby.
Hotter it gets cows start laying down

Over and under the cows play tag.
Oval shaped balls get into a bag.
Lots of fun they had on that day.

Ministry speech

7/09/17               7th September

Dear Ministry

I have a huge issue. Hold up ✋. Here it goes. Romahapa School needs more space so I’m going to put my opinion down on paper.

I think it is very unfair that other schools get given more space and the money. Romahapa needs more space for another class.  Here are three reasons why.

First of all some Romahapa students are jammed up in the resource room and the computer room. My point here is we only have two actual proper classrooms. The reason why we are jammed up in those other rooms is because we have too many kids and you aren’t giving Romahapa school the space or the money to expand.

Secondly, Mr Preddy now has to say no to so many families because you won’t give us the money for another classroom. Another classroom would let so many more families come to our awesome school, but  you just won’t let Romahapa School grow any further. This is not fair because all families and children should be able to receive a good education. To receive a good education you need good teachers like what we have and great learning skills that the teachers give us. You might even know someone who works there and that they are indeed a great teacher.

Last but not least, we need the space for our 86 students and the many more children in zone that will enrol in the next 3 years. Saying “no” to this is unfair as you gave 1.2 million dollars to another school for the exact same problem and you won’t even give a cent to our school. We would like some “moola” for a good class and great education for all the children that come and that are here right now. The school and community are so
supportive and helpful of this. More space would help give extra room, teacher aides a place to work with children in,a breakout room so we can work, an office for Mr Preddy or even a sick bay.
That was three reasons why we should get more space. We would appreciate it if you give Romahapa school some money to do it. PLEASE give us the money. We need another classroom PLEASE.
