Thank you Mrs Thompson for teaching me English. You helped me with my school work. I will miss you.

Thank you for being an awesome tutor. I really liked how you always have a big smile and helped me with my writing. I have always struggled with my spelling but you taught me some little tricks to remember how to spell words. My favourite lesson was when we did our elephant report because it was fun and I learnt lots of interesting facts about elephants.
Bye Julie I am going to miss you.

Dear Julie,
Thank you for helping me with writing. I have learned to write hooks, because I used to know ‘hooks’, but I didn’t know how to write hooks. Now I know how to write a lot of different types of hooks.
So that is how you help me with my writing. I hope you have a great 2019.

I was born in New Zealand and my parents were born in Japan. At ESOL lessons I like to read books. We had a sharing day. I bought a kokugo (Japanese teaching book) to show Mrs Thompson. It was fun.
Yuki, aged 7 years

When I first started at school I was so shy that I didn’t want to talk. Mrs Thompson helped me with my english.
I liked borrowing books out of the ESOL library.
I like how when it was my birthday, Mrs Thompson gave me a certificate.Catherine, aged 8 years

I liked it at the start when we learnt about the words and manners. I liked doing the grammar sheets for homework. I liked doing ESOL because Mrs Thompson could help me. I liked the one- minute test when I had to say what words I knew. It was much more easier to learn after I did ESOL. Mrs Thompson helped me.
Kevin, aged 8 years

At Mrs Thompson’s we did worksheets and we played ‘Guess Who’. We planted strawberries into pots to take home for Christmas to learn about plants growing. First I felt nervous with my English, but now I feel confident.
