KATE GREEN
If you could see into the future, how far would you go?
200 years, because then stuff would be really hitech.
The last time I talked to one of my neighbours was …
One day ago. I talked to my neighbour Heta. He knows quite a lot of stuff about what is happening around the neighbourhood.
If you could bring one person back from the dead, who would it be and why?
My great-grandmother Tig. I hardly knew her, and she was so important to my family. My sister wants to learn to sew, and she was amazing at that.
You get to buy one thing – no matter what it costs. What do you buy?
A rocket ship that never runs out of fuel and the fuel is made out of rubbish. I would rather move around from planet to planet than to stay in one place.
Would you rather be able to fly or have the power of invisibility? Why?
I would rather fly because then I would be able to see loads of birds like the kea, my favourite animal. email: capitalday@dompost.co.nz
What is your favourite childhood toy?
My Xbox right now, and when I was little, my soft toy dog who now sadly has no nose.
Three weeks’ holiday in Antarctica or Thailand – and why?
Antarctica. It is such an amazing place, it’s filled with penguins (which are so cute) and seals (the baby seals are so cute). My godmother Sam bought me a toy seal back from Antarctica when she went there. She gave my sister a penguin.
If environmental funds allowed only one to be saved, would it be fish or birds? Why? Birds. They are so fascinating and beautiful. And flying must be so cool!
