Meet My Friend Kate!

What time does school start, and what time do you go home?:

School starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:00 p.m.

How do you get to school? Are you allowed to go to school by yourself?:

Everyday I walk to school, either alone or with my brother. Usually I walk in jandals (flip flops) or even sometimes bare feet (I walk 1-2 km through a nature gully which has streams filled with eels, birds, and bugs). It is so exciting because my brother and I will often walk off the path after school and try to catch eels in the stream.

Where do you eat lunch? What is your favorite food?:

I eat lunch on the ground, just outside the field. We aren’t allowed onto the grass until we have finished eating. My favorite food is sushi.

What language do you speak at school? How do you say "Hello" in your language?:

I speak English at school, and I would say, "Hey", "Hi" or "Sup?".

What are some common kids' names at your school?:

Common names in my school are Sophie, Emma, Josh, Jack, and Georgia. Maori names are also common such as Tama.

What subjects do you study in school, and which one is your favorite?:

I study English, math, art, science, cooking and other subjects. Art is my favourite because I get to organise the art room and create cool paintings and drawings!

What is your homework like?:

My homework includes reading, spelling, and math, mostly. I have reading bags with reading logs in them that my parents have to sign off on once I complete a particular chapter.
