My view on Springbok
Springbok tour: It all started on the 19th of July, 1981. 36 years ago, as of 2017. I have been chosen for the protester's side. What I do know is that Springbok is a town in South Africa, and is also an animal native to South Africa. And also, my parents have NEVER mentioned the word 'Springbok' to me. The protesters were trying to stop the rugby game from happening, but the rugby supporters wanted the game to happen. Then the protesters got into a massive fight, almost a civil war, with the police. Apparently the Springboks did not want the Maori All Blacks to play. Basically all that happened was heaps of punching, fighting, kicking, bleeding, and shooting (I think).

My Opinion on School
I think that you absolutely need to go to school. It is important for your education, and your education is important. In fact, if you didn't go to school, you would be extremely dumb, and you would not understand the laws and physics of the universe/s.
Also, you wouldn't be smart enough to get a job, and nobody would want to employ you. And maths is also another necessary thing that you need to be taught. Because if you got a job at Mitre 10 Mega when you got older, and you had to cut planks of wood up, you would need to figure out how to precisely cut a plank of wood in half.
And then you have reading. Reading is also very important, as it expands your imagination and creativity, and your vocabulary. Otherwise, you would not know how to communicate properly, and you would just stumble around, crying: "Goo goo ga ga!" And that would be extremely embarrassing in front of all your friends.
Next, you have technology, like mobile phones, computers, laptops, X boxes, etc. Nowadays at school, you learn how to use technology in a rightful manner, like typing. The more you learn to type, the faster you can type. So, if you are typing an article for the local newspaper, and you're a professional typer, you'll be able to get the job done very fast. If you didn't know how to even type, you'd probably be bashing at the keyboard of your laptop or computer with your fists. So that is my opinion on school, and how important it is. See you on the next one!

Programming Concepts
In class, we are learning to demonstrate programming concepts. I can use the 'For' loop. I can write code efficiently, I can reflect on my strategy used for the code, I can add 2 lists.
In the maze challenge, the Turtle has to go through the maze, and instead of using three lots of code, we can trim it down to:
for i in range(0,3):
myMaze.forward(40)
myMaze.pendown()
myMaze.forward(mazeWidth)
myMaze.right(90)
myMaze.forward(100)
myMaze.right(90)
