Paradise
Whe I saw Ryleigh's slide I wished I was lying under her palm tree. This is very effective using a google image and then burning a separat picture to insert into our background.

Life as an animal
Taya was quick to create 2 slides using background burning. First of all we found a google image to use as our background, then we found an image which we then used background burn on, added a callout and wrote some text inside it and we were finished. Check out some of our Room 1's blogs and please leave a comment.
I'm a Flying Unicorn
Here is another example from a Room 1 student of background burning. Koshik I love the background and the picture of the unicorn (after you burnt the background). It looks very colourful.
Life's a beach
Our last session with Angela today. A big shout out to Angela for all the learning throughout the year. Today Room 1 learnt how to remove the background. We were also reminded about using images that are labelled for non-comercial reuse with modification so that we are not using pictures that have copyright rights. By the way this is mine - I gave it a go!

Travelwise Celebration
The Travelwise Celebration
By Taya
Finally the train stopped and we can hop off. Wondering what I’m talking about, I’ll explain it. So me, my teacher Mrs Campbell, Amani-Grace, Amani-Grace’s mum, Telesia-June, Trey, Alayna, Franki, Lauren, Olivet, Hayley, Riley, Teri-Rose and Leslie on the 9th of November went to a Travelwise Celebration. I will tell you about Travelwise if you don’t know what travelwise is. Travelwise is a program to make schools travel safer, healthier and funner. Anyways let’s get back into the celebration. So me and all the others traveled from Papakura to Britomart. If you know what the Cloud is you will know what I’m talking about, so we went to the Cloud and had a packet of chips and two cookies for morning tea. Yum! The first activity started at 11:00 am but before we left the Cloud to the Maritime Museum, they announced the winners for Gold, Silver and Bronze. But guess what Papakura Central School came Bronze along with heaps of other schools. Time passed by while we were hunting the answers to old things. The one that I liked was the Sir Peter Blake with his red socks because we got a badge for Sir Peter Blake. At 12:00pm it was lunch, average lunch but at 12:00 pm instead of 12:30 pm. After lunch we ended up staying at the Cloud than going to do the next activity because we had to go on the train in a bit. But we still got to watch some awesome BMX bikers. While my group was watching the BMX bikers we got free ice-cream. Being amazed by stunts took off being at the Cloud so after more minutes we had to go back to Papakura. We got back at about 2:45 but I went home at 3:00pm. When I got home I kicked off my shoes and had a longggg nap.

Roti Making
Today Room 1 made roti with Diya's mum (Diya from Room 12) and Kirpal's mum (from Room 6 Hub). The students split into 2 groups and I sent Ryleigh and Hayley Rotherham over with their chromebooks to take some photos. I think the girls did a great job. Ryleigh thanks very much for creating this slideshow.
PS Everyone loved the potato roti - thanks very much.
