Tamaryn says hello

Hello I’m Tamaryn, I live in Cape Town which is in South Africa.

South Africa is a land that is filled with culture and beauty. It is a home to many different kinds of people and animals. South Africa has nine different provinces, some provinces are filled with beaches, some are filled with nature, sand, culture, art, and beautiful plants and animals. You should definitely visit South Africa on your next holiday, you will definitely be impressed with the beauty and people here.

Cape Town is South Africa’s capital city. Cape Town is a beautiful city, which is filled with lots of different tourist sites and landmarks like Table Mountain, the V and A waterfront, our amazing beaches, nature parks, and art and culture. It is a popular holiday destination to visit and I always see a lot of tourist from around the world where ever I go.

Micklefield is such a lovely school and I am so lucky that I am able to go here.

I am a girl in grade 6, I love art and culture, and I love travelling overseas to visit different countries and places. I love playing with my friends, being in cape town and I love that I am able to go to a lovely and amazing school like Micklefield. Please come and visit Cape Town when you can!

  1. LAURA P. says hello!
    Hi Tamaryn, I'm Laura and I'm the youngest in my class! I live in Piano di Sorrento, near Sant Agnello.
    In Piano there are a lot of shops. You can see: clothes shops, book shops, supermarkets etc.
    I like reading and in my free time I read a lot of books. When I can, I'm going to visit Cape Town. I'm curious about you, I would like to meet you.
    I have a brother, His name is Salvatore, he is naughty, but I love him...he's my brother!
    My favourite foods are pizza and also ice cream.
    When I do my homework, I listen to loud music and my favourite singer is Zucchero, an Italian singer - do you know him? My best friend is Emilia, she's fantastic! And you? Have you got a best friend?
    I hope I will meet you.
    love,
    Laura

  2. Hi Laura, Piano di Sorrento sounds really nice. Next time I go to Italy I will definitely visit it. I also have a brother he is turning 9 in April, he is also very naughty. I also love listening to music, I dont know Zucchero, but he sounds interesting- does he sing opera? My best friends name is Isabella, she is kind, thoughtful and really funny. You sound really nice and interesting, what is your main language that you speak at home? What other things do you do like sport, dancing,art or hobbies? Do you like animals, my favourite animal is a cheetah. What is your favourite animal? My favourite food is pizza and sushi. What school do you go to? I would love to hear more about you! :) love Tamaryn

  3. Abbiamo un caldo Natale. Abbiamo cena di Natale alla vigilia di Natale, noi non abbiamo il pranzo di Natale. Il giorno di Natale nuotiamo o andare in spiaggia, e apriamo presenti sotto il nostro albero di Natale. Ciao Tamaryn

  4. Hi Tamaryn,
    Thank you for your question about Zucchero: no, he doesn't sing opera. He's a pop singer but I like One Direction too. My favourite member is Harry, he is nice. And you? What do you think?
    At home I speak Italian, what languauge do you speak at home? I don't like sports very much but I like dancing, reading and painting clothes on my "Top Model" albu.
    I like animals, my favourite is a cat. I like it because it is soft. I go to the Middle School. I never eat sushi, I'm scared because it isn't cooked!
    You're very interesting!
    love Laura P.

  6. Hi Laura, I love One Direction, my favorite member is also Harry! I speak English at home, at school we learn how to speak Afrikaans and Xhosa.
    What are your favorite subjects at school? Mine is Maths, Science and Art. I also love to read and dance, I like ballet and modern. What is your favorite type of dancing? On Saturday we have our annual sports day, we do a house cheer and at the end we see who gets the spirit cup and which house wins the cup. We have three houses Kingfishers, Robins and Swallows. I'm in the Kingfishers. do you have a sports day and different houses at your school? Do you watch a lot of T.V, I do :), but I also love to read when I'm bored! It's nice to hear from you! Love Tamaryn

  7. Hi Tamaryn
    It's cool you have my passion too! On Saturday I bought four books, I love them! I'm happy because the 4th of MArch we have Carnival. You can wear a mask or go to a party. You can dress up! When I was 5 I liked wearing a dress. I had a princess dress. It was blue-I loved it! And you? do you like CArnival? If you see our photos, I'm the girl who is making a heart with Emilia (my best friend) - she writes to Chloe.
    Love Laura P.

  8. HI Tamaryn
    How are you?
    I want to ask you about the Mount Nelson Hotel. What is it? Is it a mountain or a hotel?
    I ask this because we watched a little film about Cape Town. I saw the World of Birds too. Is it a zoo with only Birds? Do you like football? I don't like it because I think it's boring.
    I know that in Cape Town there was the World Cup 2010. Did you see any matches? Did you have a favourite team?
    Love Laura P

Did you see the pictures we took of all the people in our class, i'm the one standing next to Megan and Isabella. What is your favorite book, mine is a book by an author named Micheal Mopurgo, it is called Cool. I would love to hear more about you.

    My favourite books are many but the best is Nashira by Licia Troia. I have never visited London but I know a lot of things about the city. I didn't go to the party at Carnival. I'd like to continue writing to you after this course. What's your email? Or we can use this BLOG. I will give my email to the teacher.

  13. Hi Laura
    The Mount Nelson Hotel is a very nice hotel in Cape Town, it is absolutely amazing to go to! The world of birds is also very nice and interesting, there are so many different types of birds. I also love sports, especially football and cricket! Unfortunately I didn't go with to the matches in 2010 but, my mom and dad did and they thought it was amazing, bright, pungent and full of colour and cheer. My favorite football team is actually Manchester United! Do you like cricket and if you do are you watching the IPL at the moment?
    Love Tamaryn
