  21. Communication Ryan Frame: Riddle Whats brown black and white has 4 legs and you could say it looks like the logo of  South African rugby

  22. Communication “…I am particularly interested in the history of the Negev. Different developements have been implemented over the years - some have proved to be sucessful and others not. I think it would be great if a 'museum' of sorts were to be erected to share the history and knowledge of the negev through the ages. …” “...Yes I do have a new idea.  I think Israel should make a mini Israel like Mini Town in Durban.  Tourist will be able to see the whole of Israel in only one day.  If you are going to use my idea - please pay me …” “I obviously think very differently to other pupils, but thats the challenge as we all have different view points on this interesting desert”      ”… I think that people in Israel should reduce the amount of children had due to over population, too little food and a water crisis…..”
