The students are writing letters to their teacher Whaea Tania who is leaving to work abroad. They express that they will miss her yelling, kindness, sense of humor and the way she taught lessons. They wish her the best in her new job and country and hope she keeps in touch through social media and their school blog. They share funny memories they have of her in class and at sports games. They ask her riddles about her destination, which is revealed to be Africa. The students say goodbye and that they will miss her smile and talent.

remember you. How you always growled me
and told me to go to the library and do my
work because I didn’t finish it or maybe I
didn’t do my homework.
I hope when you go to Africa, Dubai you get a
good job and meet other cool people and get
introduced to new animals you've never seen
before.

To Whaea Tania I am going to miss your wonderful evil
laugh and that awesome smile of yours I really

and they are sharp too.
You really will need to keep in touch through Facebook and
our school blog.
