My letter to you, Miss Tapuke!

Walt: Write for a specific purpose.

Kia Ora Miss Tapuke,

My name is Jahzara. I’m a Year 8 student at Pt England School. I have been attending Pt
England School since I was 5. As you may know, I am currently 12 years old turning 13 in June! 
I am in fact the eldest female sibling in my family always working hard in the house :)

My favourite subject is writing! The reason why is because I’m able to chuck in any of my
thoughts and ideas. Writing makes me feel calm and free. I feel that my weakest subject is
Numeracy. I sometimes find it hard to understand some of the questions that I get asked, but I
must say that I love to find the Area and Perimeters of different types of shapes.

I enjoy playing netball and cricket. I’ve been playing netball ever since I was 7 years old. I’ve
had amazing opportunities to play netball in the Pacific Cup! I played for Tonga in 2016 & 2018
and in 2017 I played for Fiji. I also played cricket in 2017 and 2018 and decided to take a break
in 2019. Now I’m back and trying to be active with the family or even school teams. 

I absolutely love music. Singing is actually one of my hobbies. I love playing the guitar and
ukulele. I know heaps of tunes and songs. When playing the guitar I enjoy finger picking. It’s one
of the ways to bring more empathy and life into my type of music. I am currently learning how to
play the keyboard/piano. I like to think of it as a splash of refreshment towards my mind. 

I am really interested in gemstones. I love how the gemstones have their own type of power. I’ve
had a couple myself. My personal favourite has to be an amethyst. An Amethyst is known as a
protection stone. It is known to protect you from any spiritual attacks which I find very cool.

I am very excited to be in your literacy class this year. I know it’s going to be a blast, just like
last year! :)

Yours sincerely,

Jahzara.

Task Description:

Room 2 literacy was tasked to write Miss Tapuke a letter, introducing yourself. We were tasked
to make our letter interesting and thoughtful. This letter is to inform others, telling them what I'm
about and what I enjoy doing. I enjoyed this task because well, I like to write! You may have read
the letter already so you must know a lot about me now :)

Enjoy! :)
