I am really sorry to the families who were robbed during this time too. I pray the you will all be safe during this sad time, I pray that the lord will be with you and I pray that your families are all well. I hope that your homes and families will soon be fixed and all together. I hope that you will be able to continue your life happily. Hopefully you are all safe and well.

I just want to let you know that I am here for you all through this rough time. Please don't be sad.  My prayers go out to you all. Please keep this in your mind. Know that I am here for you all and that I hope you are all safe. If I was rich and older I would buy as many supplies as I can to help you all as you are in need of food and water.

A few weeks ago Pt England School were given a wonderful performance from a group of dancers. The group who performed for us were iluminate. iluminate are a group of dancers from all over America (USA). Everyone was excited to hear that we were having a performance from this group. The whole school gathered in the hall for the amazing performance. Mrs Nua talked to us about this group. Mrs Nua then introduced a lady, this lady was the one that had got this group to perform for us.

As soon as they had there talk the lights were out. Everyone in the room were excited about that. The lights were out, then all you could see on the stage was a big person, a glowing person. You couldn't see there face or anything because they were wearing all black so they could glow in the dark. Once the first glowing figure was out, two people came in as well. The music then started to play. Once the group finished performing they came out and talked to the school. The selected Kapa Haka children did a performance for the group at the end. The group then learnt the NZ haka. They performed it too.

Once they had finished doing the Haka the school went back to their classes to get ready to head home. However the the Yr 7 & 8s stayed behind to ask the group some questions. Some of the questions were “Who inspired you to dance”, “ Can you do the dab” and more. When we finished asking questions we went back to class to pack up. Our day was amazing!

My Letter

Walt:Compose a letter to your teacher about yourself
-----_____-----_____-----_____-----_____-----_____-----_____-----_____-----_____-----_____---

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

This year I am very privileged to be apart of Room 2. I will be spending time with Miss Clark and the rest of the Room 2 students. This letter will provide you with some information about my background.

My name is Venetia. My life started on the 11th of October 2004 at Auckland Hospital. The funny thing is when my life started my dad was parking the car so he missed out on my birth. Fortunately my aunty was there to cut my umbilical cord. Ever since my birth I have been really close to my aunty.

Right now I am a year 7 student. This year I was chosen to be apart Room 2 with Miss Clark and the rest of the year 7&8 students. I started Pt England Primary in 2009. I was 5 years old when I started school here. School here is amazing. When I first started school we had books and pencils, now we have Ipads and netbooks.

In my family I am the only girl which makes me the princess of the family. I have 3 brothers and 1 on the way. I am very excited to be having a another brother. Its pretty weird, I will have a newborn brother and a 21 year old brother as well as my 20 year old brother and my 18 year old brother.

Growing up was kind of hard for me. I was the only girl in my family, I was the youngest of the family too. If I wanted to play, it had by myself or with my cousins. When I was a baby my brothers were my age right now. It was pretty tough.

My cultures are Cook Island and European. My mum is from the Cook Island and my dad is from New Zealand. My mum comes from the island Rarotonga and my dad comes from Ratahi/Otaki. In my culture I am also a bit of Tahitian and Maori. I love my culture dearly and always will.

During my spare time I like to hang out with my friends and family and eat. My family and I like to go out to restaurants. When I'm with my friends on the other hand we like to chat, take selfies and listen to music. Im very grateful that I have a wonderful family and trustworthy friends. One day I would love to live with my friends.

Music has been a big thing in my life. It's like freedom. It takes everything off your mind so you can relax. Unlike others I have more than 1 artist I admire. I am inspired by many artists and their music. One my personal favourites is Beyonce.

I love my parents dearly. They have been through it all, the rough and smooth. They inspire me with their hard work and perseverance. I am very grateful that they are still with me till this day. I love them as they love me.

My letter has now come to an end. I hope you found out a little more about my background. If you have any questions comment below or come to my classroom  (Room 2 Pt England School).

Yours sincerely

Venetia
