Zi Long WU —

"Bi sui she bo di" is my favorite saying because it satisfies me and my friends!

Age:12

Arrived at Merrin in: 2014

I am giving back by: -Wet day monitor.

My theme song is: Don't wanna know.

My hobbies are: Basketball, IXL and  reading books!

How I wish to  be remembered: Helping people, funny and good relationships. 

Current learning goals: To get  above  curriculum level  for my writing and reading.

My future  aspirations: Being a doctor, dentist or an engineer.

My heroes are: Richie McCaw and Dan Carter!

Reflection: These years in Merrin I was very happy  because I made lots of friends and lots of people helped me with my maths and English.

In 2012 when  I first came to Merrin I had lots of friends to play with but the  thing is that I didn't know that much English so I watched how other people are  playing and then I learnt the rules.

In 2016 when I was year seven  we got three teachers - one for writing, one for reading and one for mathematics. At the start of the week I didn't understand what the teachers were talking about so I watched what others were doing  and then I knew what to do. Later in the weeks I learnt my English and I understood.

In 2017 we had  a lots of outdoor adventures like skiing, camping, surfing and I'm really excited about the Year 8 star week. This year I have improved a lot in mathematics and writing. I had concentrated and focused more this year when the teacher is talking.

Overall: I think I did quite well this year with my writing and mathematics. Lots of people helped me with my English especially my teachers and friends. I had really enjoyed my time at Merrin School. Glad I chose this school.
