Hot air balloons flying in Egypt!

To finish Term 2 activities, we linked our fabulous paper-mache hot air balloons and our glimpse into 
Egyptian Taonga together.  
We used our ICT skills to make our balloons look like they are flying over Egypt!  
This was quite a technical process ;).  
First Mrs Webber took photos of our balloons in front of a green background.  Then we dropped our photo into keynote  and used the alpha setting to wipe out the green background.  Next we chose a picture of Egypt we liked using google images and we dropped that background into our keynote page.  Finally we moved the picture of Egypt to the background and put our hot air balloon into position.  
These are so cool... don't you think?!

Here are a couple of recounts.

Wacky Hair Day!

Wacky hair AND funny faces!  If you feel like a giggle you might like to see our wacky hair day efforts.  All for a good cause!  We raised over $400 for St John's. :)

Taonga Tagxedo

Here are some great images depicting Taonga that we created in one of our ICT sessions.  

First we brainstormed words that Taonga means to us then we published them using 'Tagxedo' on the internet.  

Fun and effective don't you think?

Mother's Day

We started Term 2 by celebrating our Mums! 

 A special Taonga to each of us.  It was also a great opportunity  to use the ICT suite.  We worked in pairs  using 'Wordle' to publish our adjectives to describe our Mums.
