5. Cultural Class Mural - Selected a symbol that represents our ethnicity and collated it with everybody else's work to create a class mural.

Benjamin's DEAR LIFE writing

Today for our #KIAKAHAROOM11 task, we had to write a letter to LIFE. We watched a very inspiring video about GRATITUDE. We had to sit back and reflect and identify the good things in life that we are grateful for.

Dear Life: 


“You’re valued!” Some people in this world doubt themselves and judge their own looks, but you always value your looks, skills and life. In this world life means everything,  don’t think your wrist is paper so don't cut it, your neck isn't a shirt so don't hang it, so instead of thinking like that make the most of the oxygen that the lord has given to us, because loads of people “value” you in this world.


  1. “Thank you Anime”, you’ve taught me big time important things in life even though you’re not real, but you taught  me “giving up isn't an option” - Naruto Uzumaki , “don't give up, the beginning is always the hardest, so let's keep on going till the very end !” - Natsu Dragneel, “Don't worry about what other people think, hold your head up high and plunge forward” - Izuku Midoriya, “the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams'' - Shouyou Hinata, “ Appreciate everything around you before moments turn into memories” - Naruto Uzumaki, “No matter how impossible it is, never lose sight of your goal” - Monkey D. Luffy, “When the world shoves you around, you just gotta stand up and shove back, it's not like anyone is going to save you if you start babbling excuses” - Roronoa Zoro


  1. Thank you Lord for waking me from my slumber sleep everyday and breathing life into me. Thank you for bringing negative things in my life to an end, for friends hopping abroad my ship to discover new things, and thank you for guiding me through the dark with your light shining rapidly down on my crosshairs.


  1. Thank you Strength. You’ve always been there for me, you never stopped proceeding to make me energized and make me “look alive” everyday. Thanks for the strength to wake up, brush my teeth, eat, drink and also get my work done everyday. I have a purpose to fulfil and I need you to keep me going.

  2. Thank you School for making me a superior student to my youngsters out there. Thank you for teaching me life lessons to proceed with it in the future and use it when I need it. Thanks for building me up to be a smart character in learning and also in sports and the real world.


  1. “Oku ou fiefia koe Tonga au” I would love to give thanks to my culture = Tonga. I am above happy to be born as a proud smiling Tongan, my culture will never abandon me because we’re like an anonymous duo that is unbreakable. Thank you Tonga for always helping me out and being there for me. !
