Visits from all over the world… our ClustrMap

November 25, 2007

We have had a ClustrMap on our blog almost from the first day, and it’s quite amazing to see that we have had visitors from all over the world. How do they find us? Mrs C posted the address to one of her online teacher groups, so that’s where many of the American visits came from, but how did others find us?

If you’re a visitor from somewhere other than our school, please post a comment and tell us how you found us.

Canberra Camp

Posted on November 24th, 2007 in * Fun stuff, * SOSE (Social Studies) by Mrs C  Tagged , ,

Eight of our grade six students are going to Canberra, our national capital, on Monday at 7am. It will take about 7 hours for them to get there.

 The rest of the class will be slaving away back at school, especially working on our free choice projects.

 Our campers will return on Thursday night at 7pm – they will share photos and news of their trip once they recover!

Below is an overhead view of Parliament House and the surrounding area.

Okay, now this is just spooky. Imagine living in a house with this pattern for wallpaper – eeeew.

Flash Movies

Posted on November 14th, 2007 in * Technology, Damien by Mrs C  Tagged
 
For these animations, I used a program called MACROMEDIA FLASH MX 2004. To get the plane I used MACROMEDIA FLASH FIREWORKS. Now, the process I used to make the animation is very hard to explain, so I won't annoy you by telling every thing I did. If you have any problems, ask your question in a comment and I'll get back to you. 

How embarrassing…

We are playing around with making videos with the digital camera but some of our students are very shy!
