My letter to Ms Clark

Dear Miss Clark,

This letter is for you to know things about me. How I was raised and born in. This life story contains information about me as a young girl growing up.

I am glad and proud to be in your class for 2016. I now know lots of things about you. Where you were born, where you were raised and also how you came and teach at PES. As soon as January started to finish, I was pretty scared to meet the new year 8’s since they were year 7’s last year. I’ll love it if my parents came and say hi to you if you're free.   

My name is Loseli, but you can call me cherry which is my nickname. Also known as phaddy or other names I don’t really know that might exist. My family has been living in Auckland for 6 years. I’m in a family of 6 including me. Different from other children, don’t know where/when they were born. My nationality is Tongan.   

My life began when my mum gave birth to me in Greenlane Hospital. I was born in 2004 on July the 19th. I am the eldest child in my family. My mum had miscarriage a few years ago before I was born. In the process of my birth lots of people came to see my mum giving birth to me.

Lastly I came into this beautiful world and I couldn't believe my eyes. My grandma and my aunty were fighting over to see who had the better name for me. When they have finished fighting which name is which, so they named me that name. Around the age of 3 months old I lived in Mt Wellington for about 2 years then moved to GI. I live with my 6 year old brother and my 8 year old sister, my mum and dad and so as my grandpa (my mum’s dad). Living in Mt Wellington was pretty fun and enjoyable.

My grandpa had moved to my uncle’s house which is my mum’s brother, then he moved to our house so he can live with us forever. Going church for me changed my life. My family started worshipping god and we came church every Sunday and church service on Wednesday.  

As I was around 4 or 5 years old I went to Kindergarten. I knew I was a big girl now. Me as a 5 year old attending Pt England School in 2009 made me scared and afraid. So my mum stayed with me all day so that I can settle down and not cry. I am now 11 years of age turning 12 years old. 2015 was a really big year to me. Lots of my teachers were really kind to me. Having to stay at home doing no homework and no learning changed my behavior. To this day forward I must not focus on doing random stuff.

Throughout my spare time I like to eat a lot for obvious reasons, listen to music, play on my trampoline and help my mum do some work around the house.I personally have no phobia but sometimes in the night I am very scared when looking at the dark, I mostly sleep by myself but when it gets really cold or that I can’t take it any more so I sleep with my parents.

Wishing that I could travel to Australia or Tonga but I have to wait until the holidays. Sometimes I lie to people what my favourite food is. So it’s rather everything. I’m not really a fan of chocolate but in birthday parties I eat a lot of dairy chocolate. If you see me at my house I always sleep around midday and when it’s night I will stay up and not sleep so that will make me late to school.

Soo happy to be in your class. I’ve learnt lots of things from you and I am soo excited to learn more with you and to be your student. My parents had always wanted me to get an education when I grow up and go to college, therefore I have to get a prize giving certificate every year.

Yours Sincerely,           

  

Reflection About 2015

What I've gained in 2015:

2015 has been the best year of my life. My favourite part of 2015 is getting to know my teachers well. I have gained a lot last year. Like being confident in front of my classroom and sharing my thoughts with my teacher. This year I've learnt that kindness and leadership can spread around like germs but in a diffrent way.

Looking forward for 2016

For 2016 I'm looking forward to accomplishing leadership and to be more confident than last year in front of many people. Another thing i'm looking forward to is having more confidence to talking to new people in my new classroom. 

Camp Bentzon/Kawau Island Writing

Walt: summarise a week long experience into a recount.

Hey have you guys been to Kawau Island before? On the 17th of November it was a sad day for me and my family, but also a very exciting day. It was the day I had to go camp bentzon which is very very far away. Our camp groups were called Bentzon, Mansion, Kawau and Katz, which were names that belonged to different parts of the camp.

When we got to Kawau Island the whole crew had to get one bag each inside the big camp site. Once all the bags were in, the teachers said put it along the benches. After we put all of our bags outside. We went and sit down where the volleyball net was but a bit far. ‘      

One of my favourite camp activities was kayaking. Our camp teacher Mr Somerville split us into little groups. First we had to do all of the “dry ground” activities, such as learning to paddle and learning to turn your kayaking boat.  When I hopped into my kayaking boat I saw that Mr Somerville was coming with us. We hopped in our boats and my group kayaked very fast, because we were to see stingrays and little fishes. Mr Somerville said I was very good during Kayaking. To me I had a lot of fun.

My second favorite camp activity was Concourse, which is Confidence Course. Confidence means you are soo confident to do obstacles even though you lost you still have confidence in yourself. Mr Jacobsen was leading the obstacles so he told us all of the instructions. The first obstacle we did was climbing logs. It was very hard for me because the logs was facing down, so I couldn’t do it. It was alright because I tried my best to do it.

My third favourite best camp activity is sailing. Our instructor’s name is Peter, who owns the campsite. He picked me to demonstrate to my group. So I went on the sailing boat and I was so nervous that I might flip over. After Demonstrating to my group I had to go on a solo which means riding it by yourself. We started hopping into our sailing boats. I started riding it and I went super fast. I couldn’t stop sailing fast. When we finished sailing our sailboats. I had so much fun riding on it.

I had soo much fun going on camp. It was soo much fun sleeping in cabins and playing with my friends. But most of all I miss my family very much. Wishing I can go there with my family.
