And here are some facts about him he is the oldest dog that I had. Chief is a really sensible dog because when we say wait he waits when we say sit he sits. So he is my favourite dog.

One week ago on Friday there was a Tsunami Evacuation. It happened when we were on our free writing Friday. When Whaea Deb came into the class and she told us about the Tsunami Evacuation. So everyone in the school packed their bags and we travelled onto a hill and some people even were crying but I was not. When we got on the hill we started eating lunch and I had a big drink of water and the water was so nice and cold that was just what I needed. A few minutes later I saw my mum and she came to pick me up and Carly aunty picked her up but we couldn't leave until the road was safe to go on.
We are learning to write a moment in time about our class assembly, 'The Great Reading Adventure'.
Finally the day has arrived it was our assembly with Te Tinana. I had butterflies in my stomach. I was outside the door waiting for the song to play. When the song was on we came in the room and we did our actions I forgot a little bit of the actions but it was fine. Soon the Maui and the sun song came on and it was show time. I was the first one to say my lines. But when I did my lines I was fine and I do not know why I was so scared. After when Duffy said you should read for 15 minutes each night to become a reading superstar we stood up and we do our song. I loved our show and I can not wait for next year.
