Letter to Miss Leaupepe

Fakalofa Lahi Atu Miss Leaupepe,

My name is Sonya. I am 10 years old and I was born in New Zealand. I am a year 6 student at St Pius X Catholic School. I am writing this letter to introduce myself to you.

My family on both sides are Niuean and Samoan. My mother is from Samoa and my Dad is from Niue but both of them were born at different places. So that makes me half Samoan and half Niuean. Now I can tell you little bit more about me, I was raised known as a Samoan and by my Mothers side. I have 19 cousins and 12 aunties and uncles.


What I like to do the most in my spare time is to play with my cousins. I also like to play the ukulele. The sports that I like to play are: Baseball, tennis, Netball and volleyball. My favorite Samoan foods are: panikeke,puaa, palusami, pisupo, coco rice, taro, and Banana. I also like to eat lots of fruits. My favourite fruit are passion Fruit and berries. What I dislike is maths because it is very confusing.


My goals for this year is concentrating on my work and to complete it on time. What I am looking forward for this is to be in a class with a very new teacher.

Yours sincerely,
Sonya                                        

Here we come!

As you all know for some of us it will be the last time seeing our teacher Miss G, Thanks for all your hard work that you have done for us we really appreciated it  very much. Goodbye School and Hello Hello holidays:)

Thank you letter

Dear Mrs Wright,

Hi my name is Sonya, I’m from Room three/Year five at Saint Pius X Catholic School. I am 10 years old and my teacher is Miss G.  

Thank you for all the lovely books that you have brought us and provided for us. We really appreciate your kindness and generosity.

My favourite book is from Thea Stilton and it is called ‘The Mystery in Paris’. It is when the Thea sisters go to Paris for a holiday. I really enjoyed reading this because it was very interesting to read. It was interesting to read because there was some clues on the bottom of each page and there were some very unusual things that were happening.

Yours sincerely,
Sonya
Room 3
St Pius X Catholic School

Next year...

What I am not looking forward to next year is leaving our beloved teacher Miss G, some our us are going to stay with her. Miss G is the best teacher that I ever had because she told us about netbooks and now some of us are leaving her. Thank you Miss G for all your hard work.

Netbook Reflection

Getting a netbook from the start of the year was very exciting for us here in Saint Pius X school in Room three because it was our first time having our own learning tool to learn with. We were unsure of using a netbook at first, in fact some of us got apprehensive. At first our typing on a netbook wasn’t very good, some of us typed 4 words per minute. As the terms went on we started to get more and more confident and brave using a netbook. It was amazing seeing such wonderful things on the netbook and what it could do.

Now using netbooks we have improved in learning and sharing our knowledge. Using a netbook got better and better as the terms pasted by, now we are starting to finish our work faster and we are typing faster than before. Using a netbook is much easier than using a book and a pencil like before. Our netbooks made a big difference in our learning as we find learning much more fun. Now we are getting really addicted to using a netbook because we used it for everything in our classroom.

The good things about having a netbook is that ever since we started to do our work on the Netbook we have gotten independant and we get more time to finish off our work. Usually when we work in a book our hands hurt because we would write for ages, but our hands don’t hurt that much because of typing it makes it much more easier especially with having Miss G to show how to type faster. It is also easier to publish to our class blog because before we had to write down our work in a book then we had to type it onto the computer, now we just copy and paste it from our docs.

There are some negatives about having a netbook, sometimes doing your work on a netbook can distract you because you can play games or you could go on a website that you are not supposed to go on. The other thing that is negative is when you take your netbook home you have to charge it, sometimes it could be really hard to remember to charge. It also gets really slow while you are doing your work it could freeze or it could die out. The last thing that is negative for your netbook is having warranty problems, small things can go wrong with your netbook.

What I’m looking forward to next year is learning new things on the netbook and I am looking forward to learning with a new teacher.
