{Me} 

Kia Orana, Fakalofa lahi atu and greetings to all.

I am delighted to present myself to the school that I’ve newly enrolled in. My name is
Hope, I came here from Pt England school. This will be my first and last year here at
Glen Taylor. To all that are new as well, I will like to make a good connection with you
all hopefully getting to know yous too.

I’ve heard there are new students in the school, a whole heap of kids joined the school
with so much to share! I’ve met a new person on my first day of school! She is also new to
the school as well we’ve gotten along with each other so well! I hope to learn differently
and make as many memories as I can! Are you excited for 2020?

"Identity"

Last week as a class Room 11 all wrote what the word "Identity" means to us in one doc. We had our own box to write in and we proceed to explain the word. I wrote down what it means to me,

"Identity? When I think of that word It reminds me of my mum, dad, my siblings and others that I’m related to. Again to me, it’s just a word that people pronounce as your personality, who you are and where you came from, but looking into the word means more than it looks. I find many many more interesting and surprising things that I not only know of but things I wouldn't even think of while mentioning the word. I’ll gladly say that the word means more than what you think it means and don’t get ahead of yourself when thinking the words means nothing when it does." 

That's what I wrote down in the box. It really didn't mean anything to me but now it's different. 

That's all I remembered last week I found it really interesting. How about you? What do you think of the word? Is it positive, negative or neutral?
