Meeting My New Teacher
I felt nervous as an All Black in the finals when I walked into my new class. It sounded like Mum's chatting and kids playing happily. I saw smiles like the found gold and eyes made out of silver. The room was as colourful as a rainbow! I agree that everyone had a magnificent great day.
