Olivia K says hello

Hi my name is Olivia

I live in South Africa, overseas many people think that we live with wild animals, but actually South Africa is quite built up.  Although there are some areas that do have animals and some that have poor areas like the townships where they make their houses out of scrap metal and other litter, although the government has built a few houses for them. Cape Town is a very beautiful city with lot of plant life. Here in the Western Cape (which is the province in which Cape Town is) we have a special group of plants called Fynbos, one of the most famous Fynbos is the Protea. The King Protea is South Africa’s national plant, our national bird is a Blue Crane, our national animal is a Springbok and our national fish is Galjoen. Cape Town has a beautiful mountain called Table Mountain, we also have many beaches (although our sea is not very warm).

Micklefield is a lovely school to be at for junior school.  It gives you lots of confidence in life and you make great friends here. I have a mom, a dad and two sisters who are both older than me. My favourite colour is purple. I have two dogs who are both girls who are called Stella and Zoe and a cat called Bambie. I love seeing friends and watching movies. My favourite foods are mostly Italian but my two bests are pizza and ice cream.
