Mrs Hansells Farewell Letter

Dear Mrs Hansell

Its so sad that you’re leaving your one and only Tamaki Primary. I only started Tamaki just at the end of last term. I went through some rough times on my first week. You made me believe that I could get through all the hardship that was going on. You made me believe that no matter how bad things are, that you’ll always find out a way to fix things, you were always there for me and I believe that you truly are inspiring.

You’re intelligent, generous and you have great leadership. I would like to thank you for everything you have done to put a smile on our Tamaki Students faces. You are a great role model, you show great potential. No matter how hard things are or but you always find out a easier way. I still can’t face the fact that you’re leaving but I hope you treasure all the memories Tamaki Primary has shared with you. Wish you all the best for the future, safe travels. Don’t ever forget me! :)

Luas Speech Writing

This is my speech presentation for Term 4 that I have created. 

My speech is about people selling drugs and people dying from gunshots. I hope when you

read this that you see the clear message that I have stated in the text. Hope you enjoy viewing.

Lua's Poem

Life?

We were all given it for a reason.

To live or to die? or just live your life like a lie.

At points you can be sad or others even more bad.

You have family that care,

Friends that are rare

So live your life and ignore all this strife.

You’ve been through alot

So leave this all behind

And take control of what's going through your mind

For I am too kind.

To commit any sort of crime.

Life could be hard sometimes.

So be yourself because an original is worth more than a copy. Live life to the fullest. ~ Anonymous
