MY GEDIG

Ek is rokerig grys, En sa sag soos ‘n muis. Ek woon in die bos, Ek eet blare vir kos.

My baba slaap in my sakkie, Totdat hy oud genoeg is om my rug te ry. My neus is swart en saggie, Ek het in Australie gebly. Hayden Tero

AS EK HET ‘N SUPERKRAG

As ek het ‘n superkrag, Dit het ‘n goed uitslag. Dit sal wees om te vlieg, soos die voëls dat wieg.

Ek sal wees Superman, en vlieg oor Kazakstan. Ek sal baie duiwe vang, en die tronke sal dans vreugdevals. Yunus Hoosain

MY JONG OUPA

Ek het ‘n oupa , hy dink hy is jong. Maar wat hy nie weet nie, is dat hy vonk. Verlede jaar toe gee ons hom ‘n kat. Nou hou ons hom onderdie mat .

Hy spring oordie heining. En hardloop hy na die senini. My ma dink hy is simple en lag. Waar ek dink, my oupa dink hy is jong elke dag. Khalid Petersen

MY HOND LOUIE

Louie Louie wat mat maak. Louie Louie by my staan. Louie is my groot groot hond. Ons twee hardloop buite rond.

As die mense kom loer dan skrik hulle sou. Van Louie is daar hulle hou vir ons veilig in die middle. Van die nag, Wanneer mense kom huilig as. Zachary Louw

LETTER TO KIRSTENBOSCH

Dear Kirstenbosch

Thank you for bringing me to Kirstenbosch I thought it was really fun. I enjoyed making plants and seeing the coca cola lake for the first time. It has been a while since I have been there and I really enjoyed the huge bridge. But I do suggest to make another activity for outside like that all children Will enjoy, if you do have any ideas for outside activities.

Sincerely, Jeremy Blake

Dear Kirsten Bosch KJ, Claremont 18 Budock street

How are you doing? I hope my letter has reached you at a good time. It has been a few weeks since I visited you and saw you guys. When I was on my way on the bus I was excited and when I left I thought to myself I’m going to come back here with my family this term. I loved the planting and the walk. My suggestions are that because it was raining we should do more rainy days activities. I really loved the walk.

This term I will arrange to go to Kirsten Bosch garden with my family.

Sincerely, Moeketsi Skeyi Dear Kirstenbosch

Hey how are you guys? Hope you are well, its felt like forever since we last met. I just thought I’d leave you a thank you letter.

Thank you for allowing me to visit and learn about plants, animals and biodiversity. I really enjoyed the hiking activity as I got to see so many plants and trees, I just wish the hike was longer. On the hike my favourite thing was the boomslang as I think it was very cool.

Your’s truly Iyaad Lakay

DEAR: Kirstenbosh

Hi Kirstenbosh How are you doing today? I realy enjoyed the walk that we did and I liked it when we made the plant and one more thing I enjoyed the activity that we did.

Next time cood we go for a longer walker and cood we do more activities to do. One more thing THANKS YOU!

Cheers, Seth Elliott

Dear Kirstenbosch staff,

I would like to thank you for putting in the effort to let us have a great experience, making the plants were lots of fun and the walk was wonderful, I wish I could go there again Sometime soon. I do have one suggestion though, if you could let the boys without a death wish go across the bridge quickly, instead of taking a photo, but otherwise it Was lots of fun to be there. There was some big spiders there too.

THE TERM 2 SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

At the end of the school day I was filled with excitement and ready to get home. Once I got home I ate lunch and played Ps4. On that saturday I attended Micahs party. We had so much fun we played laser tag and it was a sunny day. Later I visited riley’s house where we played video games, soccer and bounced on the trampoline.

On the following Monday I had sushi. For the next two days I played cards and Ps4 at my dad’s house. On the Thursday I had a playdate with Shailin.Shailin and I were playing on his switch and played cards. Then I went to my moms house and went on some hikes and I watch T.V and that was all I did and played on my phone. Then I went to my dad’s house and played Ps4 and on Wednesday I went to Rileys house again. We played xbox soccer and we watched a movie. Damon Petersen

Hi teachers from kirstenbosch I forgot your name but was realy fun at kirstenbosch and I want to thank you for so much fun and reason why i sent this to you is because I had so much fun there and I am looking forward to coming there again. Matthew Abrahams

DIE VET KAT

Die vet kat Is ´n regte skat Sy lê in ŉ gat En lek my papnat.

Die vet kat lê en droom Sy dra ŉ pragtige kroon Wanneer sy op na die maan kyk.

Ek dink aan haar droom Oor die paleis waarin sy woon Sy eet die lekkerste kos Wat sy vang in die bos. Jack Stakemire

DIE KOK VAN DIE HUIS

My broer is ‘n kok, maar hy is nie altyd tuis As hy weg is, dan is dit my kombuis En ek word dan die kok in die huis.

Gee vir my hoender, vis of ‘n volstruis Ek maak ‘n lekker maaltyd met die vleis Nou kort ek brood of gebruik ek rys. Ek is Ratatouille die Muis Of is ek Worsie van Vetkoek Paleis. Mikaeel Coetzee

DAAR IS ‘N MUIS

Daar is ‘n muis, ‘n Groot, grys muis Hy woon in my kombuis.

Hy eet my kaas En al my reis. Hy maak my mal, Want hy eet ook vleis! Niyaaz Allie

MY SNAAKSE VRIEND

My vriend is baie snaaks, Hy het bobotie met sy ma gemaak. In sy huis het hy ‘n hond, En sy hond het ‘n mooi mond.

My vriend is groot soos ‘n koei, Sy boetie is vies soos ‘n vlooi. Ja, my vriend is die beste Maar meeste van al … HY IS DIE GRAP MEESTER! Patrice Ebobisse-Bille

ONS HUISIE BY DIE SEE

Ons woon in ‘n huis Dit het ‘n groot kombuis Elke dag sien ek die sonsopkom oor die water Die helder oranje son kom later

Die sonnige son skyn oor my tuin Skielik sien ek ‘n muis, dit is baie klein. Die sterre fonkel oor die huis in die nag Die blomme lyk baie sag Umair Patel

THANK YOU LETTER TO KIRSTENBOSCH GARDENS

7 September 2022

Dear Ma’ am

Thank you for the lovely outing at Kirstenbosch Gardens on Friday.

I really enjoyed it and wished I could come back. It was cool when we were putting the plant on the object. I enjoyed learning about the plants and about the extinct plants. I enjoyed the walk on the Boomslang.

I would have liked a picnic and I would have gone really crazy. I came to the park last when I was 7yrs old. I loved it!

Kind regards. Amaan Amaan Hearn

Dear Kirstenbosch Gardens teachers

Hello! I hope you are having a great day. Thank you for letting us come by for the outing.

I really enjoyed how we got to drink the spring water, going to the Boomslang and learning about the plants.

I found the fact that the one guy had his grave next to his favourite tree interesting and the “biodiversity” game.

Anyways,hope you’re doing well.

Kind Regards Ryan Ryan Scharffenorth

MOVIE REVIEW: SORE WINNERS

Main characters: ZUMBA and QUINZY

Summary: The story is about Zumba and Quinzy who take part in a race. They win and the prize is to help everyone in the safari. This is all a test to teach Quinzy a lesson. Does he learn his lesson? Watch the movie to find out! It was funny because all the animals had skins of different animals.

This movie is suitable for ages 6+. Imraan Cajee MAIN CHARACTERS: ZUMBA, QUINCY and all the other Zafari animals.

One day there was an elephant with zebra skin called Zumba. Zumba was running in a race against all the other Zafari animals that he won. Zumba also had a friend named Quincy, a small monkey animal. Quincy also won on Zumba’s back. They won a prize or a ‘surprise’, to help all the animals since they were all so tired after the race. Quincy rejected the prize because he didn’t want to help the animals. He then saw Zumba was helping but was getting tired so Quincy helped him. Quincy then learnt his lesson and started to help the animals.

My review I really enjoyed this movie because it teaches you to always help people. It’s funny how the animals had different skins and called themselves different names. I give a rating of 8/10 and I recommend this for 8 and unders to watch. Mikaeel Jacobs

Dear Kirstenbosch

I am writing this letter to say thank you for our wonderful outing.

It was a great experience and my favorite part of the outing was when we went on the bridge and the lesson.Some suggestions are a dinosaur history lesson and rowing boats on the lake and talking about wildlife and taking a trip around the whole of Kirstenbosch and explaining what everything is.

In the holidays I will bring my family and have a picnic at Kirstenbosch. I love going to Kirstenbosch.

Kind regards Fayyaad M. Fayyaad Berdien

I am writing to say thank you for the amazing outing, as well as thanking your workers and staff.

I really enjoyed talks about biodiversity and climate change.I liked the walk over the Boomslang,seeing from that vantage point! It would be even more fantastic to take a tour about the dinosaurs or if I could take family and friends on the same tour that on the same tour we went on I learnt that there are alien plants in the garden.

Thank you once again for the outing. I really want to thank the outing. I really want to thank the staff for making Kirstenbosch garden look fantastic!

Kind regards Tahrir Tahrir De Vries
