Farewell to friends


We have had a few changes in our school recently. Some of our school friends have returned to their home countries and we had to say "Farewell". We look forward to keeping in touch with our friends around the world. It is sad to say goodbye, but it is exciting to hear from them when they get time to contact us. We love to know how they are getting on.

Alif, Amiru and Arif left our school and returned to Malaysia with their parents Zul and Ani. Everyone in our school misses them very much. We keep in touch via email. Zul came to our conversation classes once and week and he made many new friends there. Zul and Ani often helped us with things at school including helping cook delicious Malaysian food with Nik for our cultural day. All the boys made some wonderful duality maps which we displayed at school. They taught us a lot about life in Malaysia - we discovered things that were different to New Zealand as well as some things that were the same .


Yiyi and her Dad, Dawai returned to China where they joined Hong (Mum) who returned to China earlier than them. Yiyi also made a very large duality map and taught us a lot about China. Yiyi also helped us to learn about Chinese New Year and Dawai made some delicious Chinese dumplings for us to eat. Yiyi had some lovely new clothes for Chinese New Year - she looked beautiful in her bright red and lovely coloured clothes.

Braden returned with his family to United States of America. His class (Room 10) have written on their blog about the lovely farewell party they had together before he left.
