Webcast 9

Another great show! We're now trying to engage and hook our audience in by looking at the camera when we present. We have already achieved success with introducing ourselves, using a big clear voice, and keeping the 'umms' away.

Anouska's 7th Birthday

On my birthday i invited Sara, Chloe,Emma, Madison and My cousin Cody. we went to mini golf. It was in the dark, but to get in the door we had to solve the riddle. It was fun. then we went to my house and we played pass the parcel and statues and we also played twister. After that we made sponge bob photo frames. And after making very cool photo frames we had very yummy cake.

Webcast 8

Our webcasting skills keep getting better and better! We're really proud of this webcast episode. Unfortunately, our sound cut out near the end. Ugh!

Art Session

Our arts session with a visiting master artist is on MONDAY morning! Room 18 students (those who have paid their $4 already or by Friday at the latest) will be taking part in a hands-on workshop at the school auditorium designed to greatly improve their drawing skills.
Sadly, students who have not brought in their $4 will be remaining in a classroom and will miss out on this very exciting and worthwhile opportunity. I sincerely hope that all students are able to attend.
