Today we had a visit by a lady from Attitude her name is Jannah.Before we even started we got to talk with her as we were sitting down. The year 8's were catching up with her because sh came and talked to them last year. She seemed really positive and like her positivity would spread across the whole building.She told us a bit about herself we learnt that her name is Arabic and that it means "Gracious Gift".She shared a few funny stories that got my mouth and cheeks sore.She explained to us the different types of friendships there are like Girl girl friendships,Guy guy friendships and Girl guy friendships.We were told what not to do in friendships and that girls are such good friends because we talk alot like alot alot. We learnt 6 key tips in friendship they are to 1. Be Friendly 2.Be Positive 3.Be Yourself 4.Don't Be Shy 5.Don't show off 6. Remember the special events (Birthdays etc)

Games and Learning
This is a blogpost about games.
My favourite games (digital and non-digital) are:
*2048(Digital)
*Speed(Physical\Card Game)
*Awesome Tanks 2(Digital)
*Graveyard (Physical\card Game)
*Snap (Physical\Card Game)
The reason/s why I enjoy playing these games are:
*The reason why I like 2048 is because it really gets my mind thinking and because it is a challenge to try by the highest score.
*I like speed because when you flip the 2 cards at the beginning I really get excited to start putting down cards.What I find challenging is recognising the cards quickly so that is what I would like to work on
*I enjoy playing Awesome Tanks 2 because I like beating the other tanks\opponents
*I really like playing Graveyard because you really need to be careful about what cards you put down and favourite part of Graveyard is when you have the last 3 cards facing the floor.When you flip you really test your luck
*Like Speed I like playing Snap because its just about recognising the same cards and snapping them as soon as you see 2 of the same pair
Learning could be made much more fun and interesting if it included these elements of a game:
*Obstacles like the floor is lava
*Timers
