Last week I had to do a project for school about the sun. So, I did all the usual science stuff – layers of the sun, chemical composition etc, etc – and then I did a section on different myths about how the sun came into existence from all around the world. My favourite story […]
This weekend I did a lot of things. I started by going to the Ditsong National Museum of Military History in Johannesburg with my dad. At first it was quite quiet and calm there was hardly anyone there so it felt like our own personal experience. Then some little kids arrived who were running around […]
This weekend was the first weekend of the school holidays so we decided to go to Chinatown in Cyrildene, Johannesburg to have some lunch. . When we got to Chinatown we couldn’t decide where to have lunch so we looked through all of the windows and one of the restaurants had ducks hanging in the […]
