Hi Jake.
You had a busy day of writing today!  It was great to see you focussed and on task for the whole session!  You and T-J worked co-operatively to get the illustrations organised for the production of your story.  It will be great to see your finished product using Garageband.  Keep up the great effort Jake, and I am confident you will get your entry completed by next week.
Katie.

Making pictures on Active Inspire

Today we did our usual talent development but Alana and Darryn weren't here so Ruth and Jenny were here. I made pictures on Active Inspire and found some images on Google images. I sent T-J lots of images and pictures I made for our movie we are going to put on the MADE Awards. T-J made an alien called Gobstopper and used a gumball for his head and we used lines to draw his body. We got our pictures from cruzine.com and macmcrae.com. These pictures are bubblebobble and flying monster from macmcrae.com. T-J didn't like bubblebobble.

Dinoscopes

We have been using dinoscopes for the past few weeks. Dinoscopes are like a digital camera, but they can take really close up photos.  We used the dinoscopes to make a "What Am I?" poem.  We had to choose an object around the classroom, take photos using the dinoscope and then use these photos with clues to see if the reader could guess what the object was.  When you use the dinoscope it saves the pictures it takes as a screen shot.  Here are some pictures of what I took with the dinoscope. The top picture is a normal photo and the bottom picture is a picture taken with a dinoscope. Dinoscope photos show more details as they can zoom in 200 times closer than what we are able to look at an object with our own eyes.
