Don't we look amazing?

Picture a Setting!

This week in English, we have been working on story settings and considering how the setting of a story may affect what a character does or how they feel.  In groups we chose a different setting and then acted it out for the rest of the class to guess our setting.  We were careful not to say the name of the place we were in!
Ms Yen videoed two of our groups and I have used a special technique called Blu-Screening to put a back ground picture behind the actors.

Please watch our videos and see our first attempts at acting on a Blu-Screen!

The Earth Is In Our Hands!

Well, here it is, folks!  My very own Picasa Slideshow.  To see or download any of these photos, click the bottom right hand corner of the slideshow and follow the link.

The Earth - as made by 4X!

Last week we learnt all about the layers that make up the Earth, and then worked in pairs to recreate them using brightly coloured play dough. This week we are updating our own blogs to show what we did. Mr Mike has been teaching us how to upload photos and edit our posts before we publish them and make them public. Please try to edit your blog at home and complete the instructions about how to make a play dough Earth. Perhaps you could add another picture using the ones found in the Picasa feed on Mr Mike's blog. My personal target this week is to set up my own Picasa feed so that I don't need Mr Mike to put class 4X's photos onto his!
