Who was Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela was a Civil Rights leader who fought for all humans to be equal. He fought for it because the non-white people were segregated (Separated, Divided) from each other from whites. He spent a long time in prison due to his protests, and also planned to bomb certain building but he didn't want anyone to be hurt. be he became a hero to people. He later became the president of South Africa. His hard work paid off when all races were aloud to vote.

Reflection for the Cultural kete.

What went well? The crowd we pulled was amazing, more than 40 people for a game of Tug of War. They listened to the instructions then we got the games going.

What didn't go well? Although they listen, that doesn't mean the followed the rules. The teams were around 20 on 20, when the teams should have been 8 on 8, it was very fun watching big teams verse. They were pretty even teams.

If i was to do this again what would i do differently? Nothing, everyone enjoyed it and so did Rhys and I.

Digi Tech 2021

My names Evan, i'm a year 9 student at Hornby high school, and I enjoy playing video games and playing rugby or league, I've got a lot of good mates and enjoy doing things with them. I'd like to learn coding because I find it fascinating. 

In the last 3 weeks in Digi tech, we have been doing a lot of work on Code.org Nitro Type and typing.com. 2 of those games are to increase your typing speed, which will help you make your game/app 10x faster knowing all your typing keys. There is a coding game where you programme Steve to collect his objective and here is one of the scripts

Some of the activities we've done have been creating an info graphic about how to make an app good, by being cultural appropriate, and making it good by add things that would draw people in and download the app, use the app, and give feedback.

I really enjoyed doing it, and i'm exited to learn much more about Digi tech.
