Best Friends                                

by Darren van Zyl and Kivashin Pillay

 

We are best friends. Our names are Darren and Kivi. We are both in the teen group at Whizz Kidz

 in Pinetown and we spend most of our day at school  together. We like different things.

Darren: “I love rugby and I support the Sharks Rugby team”.

Kivi: “I love stroking my cat while I watch T.V.”

Darren: “My favourite (activity) at school is cooking and baking. I use the electric mixer.”

Kivi: “My favourite is computer”.

We also both like gardening , helping at Tuckshop and playing soccer with Tsepho at breaktime.

Darren:”I also like to help the little children at Whizz Kidz”.

Kivi: “I like to help with the laminating, the computer and the printer.”

Darren: “At school the best is music and dancing.”

Kivi: “For me, musical chairs is the best fun”.

Darren:  We both like watching a movie and I like to go to parties.

“On weekends I like to watch rugby on T.V., have braais (barbeque’s) with my family  and sometimes we go to the beach or a restaurant.”

Kivi: On the weekend I play with my cat and help my dad in the workshop, taking things apart and fixing them.  I also go horse-riding with my dad and my sister, Tanishka.

We are good friends. Here is our photo.  Darren is talking on his Vantage and I am typing on the computer.
