Execute terminal commands from AppleScript in a single window

Question

I want to execute some terminal commands from my AppleScript. I am executing this with in a for loop. The problem is, for each loop I am getting a new window in Terminal. But I want to execute my all commands in a single window. How I can I do this?

My code is like this,

repeat with i from 1 to 5

    tell application "Terminal"
        activate
        set currentTab to do script "date"
    end tell
end repeat
