Hexagons!

This week we have been given the task to create an DLO, which shows information about our Maths Groups, I am in Hexagons! I created a form and put specific questions that was given to us from Miss Peato. I sent it to my fellow mates in my group and from there I got responses. With the amount of responses I got back, I was lucky enough to collate the data and make a presentation out of it!

Introductory Letter x

Malo E Lelei, Kia Ora, Talofa Lava and greetings to you all,

This year I am very excited to be spending time with Miss Clark along with students in Room 2. This biography will provide you with some information, some of my very own background information and my passion.

My name is Lesieli, but you can call me Eli or Sieli. I have been living in New Zealand for my whole life now, but I’ve been in and out of the country. Visiting places like - Tonga and Australia. I was born in Auckland, but I have no clue what hospital I was born in. Unlike most children. My nationality is Tongan.

I am currently an Year 8 student attending Pt England School. This year I was chosen to be in Miss Clark’s class * Room Two * along with the Year 7&8 students. It is my last year attending Pt England, and it saddens me that I’m going to off to college next year. I have taken into consideration to attend Tamaki, but that’ll be confirmed at the end of this term.

In my family I am the 2nd youngest Girl of the family, which makes me the Princess of the family, I have two sisters who currently live in Tonga and two brothers who live in New Zealand. Sadly on the 16 of November 2012 my oldest brother was brutally beat to death in Tonga, we miss him dearly everyday.

Growing up in the church I was always a kid who liked to go to church, but as the year came I became less active at church. I started slacking off church, not attending programs and not going to church at all. I started going back to church just recently, I started going back to Youth Programs. I am now proud to say that I am an Mormon.

As a child I always wanted to be an Shop Keeper, *What every child wanted to be in my year. But my father always told me that i’ll make a great lawyer one day, due to my Smart Sharp mouth. But how ever my mother has always wanted me to have my own business.

During my spare time, I like to Eat to be honest, Play outdoors, and listen to music. I have a really sweet tooth, which make me really serious when it comes to chocolates. Weird Right?  I like to eat soft meat, my teeth a very sensitive, which makes it hard for me to eat specific things. While being outdoors I like to play hoops, touch and sometimes rugby.

Music has always been a big thing in my life, it’s like that one person that takes everything off your mind, except its the beat of the songs. Like other children  I have a favourite singer / artist, and I must admit, it’s not just one, it’s many.

My personal favourites has to be Queen Béy aka Béyoncé, I’ve alway grown up admiring her, and still to this day I still do. I am also a Miranda Sings fan, she is very funny, and up straight. Maybe one day i’ll be like her, a YouTube Sensation. But for now, I'm remaining a student.

It’s always a privilege that us kids in New Zealand have parents, and they are my inspiration. My mother and father inspire me, they have brought me up to be the girl I am now, and I am very grateful the they are still around with me. I love them with all my heart. They have been there for me, through the Rough and Smooth times.

Well people my Introductory Letter is coming to an end, but I am hoping that you have found out some new things about me. Remember I am a Year 8 student attending Pt England School in Room 2, so if you need to ask questions pop down and see me, or if your overseas Comment below.

Goals For 2015.

Day 1 back at School!!

It was the First Day Back at school, and I must admit I am looking forward to this year. It is also my last year attending Pt England school, as an Year 8, which really saddens me. 

We started of the day with assembly, where the teachers welcomed students back to school, as well as the new 2015 Prefects. 

For 2015, I am in the most amazing class. Room 2, with our wonderful teacher Ms Clark. I am enjoying it at the moment, and I am look forward to the many more terms that yet to come.

The end of the term has nearly came to an end, and it’s time to figure out our paths. To help us determine our futures our year 7 & 8 Seniors, were lucky enough to get the chance to participate in a little pep talk on Future Aspiration’s.

‘He sat around doing nothing, grades were low and expectations were high’ Give it up for Ivana Seuala *Video* Attending Manurewa Collage, Master Ivana is now a world sensation, getting paid to talk, being a confident speaker, Ivana can now can call himself a successful student.

Starting at Year 7, Ivana attended Manurewa Intermediate. Mr Seuala had no hopes. He came home everyday to his parents word of courage ‘Seee sole Ivana be the best you can!’ Be Side's from going to school every single day to see his friends eat his lunch and have a good time, he wasn’t really learning anything.

The year nearly came to an end and the report’s started kicking in, Below Standard, Below Standard, Below Standard, Below Standard, Below Standard, but wait Well Below Standard was all that was said in Ivana’s report. Still his parents encouraged him, ‘Be the best you can Son’ ‘OMG If only looks can KILL’

He was in to form 2, and had to strive for the best because it was his last year. Beside from going to school to see his friends, he learnt things. The mid year report came in, and his progress was getting there. Finally it came to the last term, and the reports came in.

It was like an whole new Ivana, no more Below Standard's his marks were high, and his parents were proud. Something that I learnt from Ivana, is that so matter what life take you thru keep trying and never give up.

‘Father of 3 boys, was on what now. Put your hands together for Mr Anthony Samuels’. After 10 years of working as an actor on What Now, Mr Samuels is a father to 3 lovely boys, all attending Pt England and a wife to Mrs Samuels.
