Reflection Friday
This term we are starting a new routine called "Reflection Friday". This involves having to reflect on and answer a thinking question. Today's question was: "Who is someone you admire and why?" Here are two responses to today's "Reflection Friday" question.
There are a lot of people who I admire, but one person in particular is my mum. I admire her because she works all day for me and my siblings, (one big brother and one little sister) with only the night and a few minutes to rest or something free.
Another reason why I admire her is because she is a great piano teacher. A piano teacher is one of the four things I want to be when I grow up. That is why I admire this person.
He is a really nice person who was a Star Wars fan when he was really young. Now he's grown up to be a great father that plays with me and my brother every day. My dad is also quite a fast racer. When it comes to biking, he's a superstar! He once reached 80km hour- double my record. My dad is also a really fast runner. He could beat me in a race if he was running and I was riding my bike.

My Dad- By Xavier R
I have grown up to admire lots of people who help me and have given me a lot of inspiration in my life, like Bear Grylls, and all of my friends that help me and are really kind. But the person I admire the most is my father.
He is a really nice person who was a Star Wars fan when he was really young. Now he's grown up to be a great father that plays with me and my brother every day. My dad is also quite a fast racer.

When it come to weird stuff about my dad, I think the weirdest thing he does is bring us to the graveyard where we break the speed limits of our bikes!

Mission Impossible in Room 13
On Monday we headed back to class after assembly to find that our class was a web of red lasers. Spy music was booming from the speakers, and it was our mission to negotiate the laser field. Here are some people's thoughts about the event.
Evil Mrs Millett. By Gina L
"Shhh.." I whispered to the other spies. I was freaking out. All of a sudden...
"You touched the laser!" someone whispered.
"The evil villain, Mrs. Millett must have set up this up," I thought.
Agent Marina and I were partners and we were doing pretty well until...'ZAP!' went a laser as I touched it with my head. Stuck, screaming and shouting spies. I'm sure that if I was the villain I would have heard us.
There were determined spies everywhere. More and more gaining on the evil Mrs. Millett. I could taste the anticipation. Mission Impossible really was impossible. The lasers were as red as fire.
Finally we were finished. "Wow!" I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be nagged into being a spy.
The Laser Beams.
By Alvin L
My spine was chilling not wanting to touch the web of laser beams. I felt my heart beat very fast when I saw people rolling and dodging but still not managing to get out!
Finally it was my turn. Caiden was my partner and he was way more confident that I was. I was sure that I would not get out, but I still tried.
"Woah!" I almost touched a laser, and I would have to start over. The distracting music some how made me do better. "Yes!" I whispered to myself as I crawled over the finish line. A few minutes later Caiden finished and we were the first team to cross over the finish line.
My hardest mission yet.
By Xavier R
It was time. It was time for my hardest mission yet. I had to go through a field filled with highly undeadly string! I was talking to my agent friend with the code name, 'I die a lot.'
We were last, and our mission was actually quite easy because we were the lowest agent rank, and they didn't trust us with real lasers.
We jumped around all the obstacles that were ahead of us. Finally we got to the end and so we went back for more.
It was the second time and I hoped it would be easier for me. Sadly, I went a bit to intensely. I ran. "Oh, I'm lucky those lasers were just string, or half my body would be gone!" I ran a bit more. "Uh oh, my head touched it. That would have been rough!"
Finally we finished and I thought of all the pain I could have had if those were real lasers!
