Rowdy and Junior are really good friends and nothing could break them up at the time. Rowdy would protect Junior through anything and everything and wouldn’t allow anyone to touch him and if someone touched him, they would feel pain emotionally, spiritually or physically. When people picked on Junior, Rowdy would stand up for him and he cut their hair off. And when an Indian got their haircut it is a sign of disrespect, so that meant that they don’t care about their heritage. Then he showed Junior what he had done to keep his friend safe and they both laughed. Their relationship changed when Junior said he was going to Rearden and then Rowdy punched him in the head and he got a really bad black eye. After that they dropped from BFF’s to acquaintances in a matter of seconds. Junior wanted to fix their friendship by drawing and sending him emails but Rowdy didn’t act nice and sent him a picture of his anus after a lot of the emails. Junior thought that it was just friendl...

I think learning with cognitive games is fun because it challenges your mind in a different way to how other games challenge your mind. It makes you mind think differently and act differently when it learns when you play the game. Go-Space: My first exposure to creating a VR product was different because everything in here was different to other apps. In here can make yourself move around differently to other games and it is fun. The way to make it is different  because it looks different in the way it moves and acts. I built an outside school where you can go anywhere and you will see someone doing something. Gamestar Mechanics: Gamestar Mechanics is an interactive and fun way to learn about making games. It has different ways to learn how to make a game and it is also fun to play it because you make your way through the game learning how to edit a world and how to beat the world. You have an option on going on a quest and also make your own quest. The game give...

In English we have been learning lots of different things. At the start we were learning how to type faster and then we moved onto the hero cycle and then onto Special to me. My favourite thing that we had done was the hero cycle because we got to watch a movie and then found parts of it that connected them to the hero cycle. It was fun because I didn't know the full potential of a movie until now.

In English we had to think of a place in our life that is/was special to us. I choose  Doornkop because it was the best place for me to go to in South Africa. Here is my presentation on Doornkorp.

New Zealand food: A Hangi is an old way of cooking food as done by the Maori people of Aotearoa (New Zealand) today and by their ancestors before them. Today a hangi is prepared for special occasions. Basically it involves cooking in the ground, though you can use more modern methods and prepare a hangi using special stainless steel technology. Both produce yummy food. They used to eat birds, roots leaves and fish. That was their source of food. In traditional life, New Zealand's Māori people were hunters, gatherers and crop farmers who harvested their food from the forest, stream, sea and garden.Seashells and crayfish were also harvested.Fresh seafood was usually cooked by laying the flesh on heated rocks. Shellfish were often eaten raw. They saved some of their fish most of the time to trade or eat later. They hung some of their sea food up to dry in the sun. Now days people just put it in the barbecue and cook them on it. They eat the same fish and enjoy the same mea...
