Hi! My name is Catalina, and I go to Saint Mary’s school. I live with my Mum and Dad, and I have one younger brother and one younger sister. My parents are from the Philippines and I am partially Spanish. My brother has a froglet called Bullet. I am in Year 6.
I think I am really good at spelling.
My sports are gymnastics, dance, soccer, surf life saving, and ballet. This year I am looking forward to camp and dance competitions. My goal is to have fun this year and be a great house captain. My favourite drink is coke. My favourite food is DEFINITELY Japanese food. Gyoza, Takoyaki, karaage, sushi, ramen, udon, soba...I could go on forever!
My goal outside of school is to try and catch a green wave at surf life saving!
I am also trying to introduce myself in foriegn languages like in Korean, Vietamese, German and Spanish. I can introduce myself in Maori, Filipino, Japanese, and Mandarin (Chinese). Hope you enjoy my blog this year!
We are learning to describe. I am from is a list about where you live and what happens there.
I found it tricky to find a place for my simile.
I found it easy to describe and use specific nouns.
I am from
A Weatherboard house with a medium-sized backyard a curved gravel driveway a ferocious front lawn, sprinkled with prickles, like flour dusted generously on dough
Rectangular clear pool but with bit of leaves
And a concrete porch with a spiky doormat.
I am from
A warm kitchen with warm smells,
Cold soba, gyoza, and swedish meatballs,
A pantry full of beef stock, uncooked noodles and a variety of spices and condiments,
A fruit bowl with bananas, plums, and old stems,
Cake tins full of cinnamon rolls, brownies, and chocolate crinkles.
I am from
Early morning snuggles, being nicely dressed for church,
and nose diving into the Waikanae waves
Counting victories for Cluedo, Uno and Top Trumps.
I am from
My family and I singing to the top of our lungs to
Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, and Ed Sheeran.
Dancing as I make my lunch, putting my clothes away and putting away the dishes.
CRASH! Sorry Mum!
I am from
“TWO healthy things in your lunch box and ONE SNACK!”
“GET! UP!”
“ Don’t leave your shoes lying around!”
“Can I pway wif your cwomebook? Pweeeaaaassse?”
I am from
Mum and Dad, I brother and 1 sister
The car is the centre
Stories told;lives shared.
Today we had Cybersmart and we made a kawa of care to remind everyone to be at the right place at the right time.
Deciding what background to use was tricky for me because there were so many to choose from.
It was easy to think of things for the kawa of care because I had a lot of knowledge from last year.
