School is Cool - Rap
I am walking in the hall way and the walls are blue,
There not a lot of people there are only a few.
I’m running a little late ‘cause it’s 8:59
Jus going to grab a pencil and I’ll jus be fine,
I’m jus going to rap about all my classes, it would be nice if you made no passes.
I’m taking you to school on a normal day
Interval and Lunch are my time to play
Some people study and some do not
2+2=4 just in case you forgot.
First period is English and parts of speech,
Mrs Raj is in the class that is what she’s going to teach,
When it comes to punctuation I’m the best thing ever.
Poems are my favourite because I know how to rhyme.
OH look the bell rang I’m out of time.

Going Away
On Friday the 17th June I’m leaving Tamaki Intermediate and going to Bader Intermediate School in Mangere. The reason why I’m leaving this school is because I don’t see my parents who live in Mangere a lot. I only see them in the weekends. During school weeks I stay here in Glen Innes with my nana. She’s 75 years old and she has a few kids to look after. So I am now moving in with my parents.
I’ll miss this school a lot. I hope it stays open no matter what happens. I’ll miss my friends, my teachers {Mrs Raj and Miss Waetford}, the fantastic house sports, games and also the tiring 1km run.
This is the best school I’ve ever been to and I will treasure all the best memories of the fun things I’ve ever done here.
GO ORPHUES!!!!

Unity in Diversity - My Speech about Malaysia
Ko Maungarei Te maunga
Ko Tamaki Te awa
Ko Ruapotaka Te marae
Ko Waitemata Te moana
Ko Te Kura Takawaenga, o Tamaki, Te Kura
Ko Mr. Horan Te Tumuaki
Ko Mrs Raj Te Kaiako
Ko Frankie toku matua
Ko Janet toku whaea
Ko Shamine toku ingoa
Ni Hao everybody, Did you know I can speak Cantonese, English and Chinese? Well you might think I am Chinese but I am a Malaysian and I would love for you to learn a little about my beautiful country Malaysia.
Malaysia has a very diverse group of people. The people follow different religions like Islam, Buddhism and Christianity. Along with that we have people speaking many languages like the Malaysian or Malay language, English and many Chinese dialects. People in Malaysia are from different backgrounds speaking different languages and following different religions yet they all live together in harmony.
Kuala Lumpur is the capital and the largest city in Malaysia. It has a population of 1.4 million people – which is lots of people! Kuala Lumpur has hosted many sporting, political and cultural events. They have hosted such events as the 1998 Commonwealth games and the Formula One World Championship. Kuala Lumpur is also home to the TALLEST twin buildings in the world, they are called the Petronas Twin Towers and they are a popular symbol in Malaysia.
Malaysia is a beautiful place to visit. I hope you can go there yourself one day. We have very beautiful beaches and enchanting islands. From easily accessible golden sands to crystal clear waters, it is as close to heaven on earth as one can possibly get.
When you get to visit Malaysia, you will have to use the Malaysian Ringgit and you will find that we use one dollar notes, unlike New Zealand where we use one dollar coins.
We also have an amazing variety of food for you to try. Malaysian cuisine reflects the multicultural aspects of Malaysia. Various ethnic groups in Malaysia have their own dishes, but many dishes in Malaysia come from multiple ethnic influences. Food preparation differs from place to place, even though they are all cooking the same food. Different preparations have different taste and decoration, but generally the ingredients used are the same.
A popular dish based on rice is Nasi Lemak, rice steamed with coconut milk to lend it special fragrance, and served with fried anchovies, peanuts, sliced cucumber, hard boiled eggs, and a spicy chili paste known as sambal.
As you can see there are many different cultures and religions living together in in Malaysia. I hope you have learned about all the interesting things about Malaysia, and about the many things to try and do – I hope all the students and teachers here are able to go to Malaysia someday.
Thank you for reading my speech.
