Farewell Ms Hansell

Dear Ms Hansell

I would like to say Farewell and good luck for the future you have ahead of you!

Within the skylimit, we see the beautiful changes you have made in our wonderful school. it is so heart breaking to hear that you are leaving our whanau, but’s it’s for the best because if it is to be it begins with me! Ms Hansell, you are a talented, considerate, loyal, beautiful person who brightens up the corridors as she walks through them. A true mother bear would stay, but put her life and career ahead of that and that is what you are! A true mother bear who is leaving the cave to find a better life and environment! I don’t know how else I could ever thank-you for welcoming me into your whanau which is now ours. Saying goodbye to you is one of the most painfullest things I have ever experienced. because of the loyal person you are, you are simply the best and that’s what I love about you! Have fun and just know that at times it’ll be hard, but you just have to relax and get through it like a true adult! Relax and have a blast while you’re still young. Although you will be missed, you will still be somewhere in our hearts:)

Lots of aroha from

Caprice Tokoa xoxo <3

My Netbook Reflection 2013

This is my Netbook reflection for 2013. Leave me some comments as you flick through my presentation about my year working with a Netbook! 

My Poem About Culture:

Rarotonga and Maori

Rarotonga is a place filled with beautiful people and sweet voices,

Rarotonga is place filled with laughter, enjoyment and choices,

Rarotonga is a place of tranquility,

Rarotonga is a place of love and ability,

Rarotonga is a place where the sun is always shining above our heads,

Rarotonga is a paradise anyone would dream of going to bed,

The pampering and the hazy heats,

While listening to some island beats.

New Zealand is like a peaceful song,

You listen to the calm sea send messages out to the above is so strong,

New Zealand is like a ball as it bounces along,

It’s gets thrown up and down and slams itself on the ground

New Zealand is the fish which jumps upon the water and dives back down.

New Zealand has karma,

But the good kind,

Sensing all the badness and saying goodbye.

This is my poem about my culture and where I come from. be sure to leave some comments as I worked really hard to use more than enough words!

Poem: Starting a New Journey

A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step

to achieve something you truly want,

It’s like writing on a piece of paper

trying to change the font,

I’m starting a new journey in another dimension,

With love but no hatred did I forget to mention?

The road can grow ever so long yet so close for us to walk and follow,

Leading on starting a new journey to make a difference to remove the hollow,

If you would like to have a positive life you need to make this possible for yourself,

Not himself or herself yourself!

Our Photovoice Project:

This is our Photovoice Project Chasity, Deandra, Mavis and I worked on for a week. We entered it into a competition and we got help by editing the original images we took of childfren which answered two very important questions. One: What does Manaiakalani mean to us and two: What impact does Manaiakalani have on us and our whanau? Be sure to leave some comments as we worked very hard to get this completed within a week of learning and education!

What was the key highlight of this year at Tamaki Primary School? Why?

Fun is the key highlight for my year. Having fun with my friends. Having fun with the teachers. Having fun. Learning was also one of my highlights. Learning new things such as the definition of adolescence and getting my work to the standard expected. Finishing my work within the timeframe given. This year has been a great example for me and I have had the best experience of my life! This year wouldn’t have been possible without Ms Aireen. She taught me to choose the right pathways and has got me ready for college. This year has been a blast!

Our Short Rap

Heres the thing we were in room one

Leveled up and learned about everyone

Saw the teachers walking round

Keeping students in school grounds

Walking up to class

Students running past

(ALL: FAST FAST FAST)

Reading

Writing

Maths

And inquiry

We need our education or there’s no celebration

Our school likes to learn

all those other schools can crash and burn
