Crusader Korero

Hi my name is Crusader and I am in Room 12 from Pt.England School.  Every week our principal (Russell Burt) gives the school something we call a Korero.  A Korero is something to help Pt.England School get better at what we are doing.  I think the Korero is important because it helps our school get better at our working and fixing up our mistake's.  My movie shows how Pt England School can be nice to each other and to Be a True Friend.  Enjoy!
