Carnival Photography

Our classroom was the photography studio for the school carnival.  To make it look more like a true photography studio we decided to take photos to decorate the room.  We wanted to make sure that we took good quality, well thought out photos.

Before we began taking pictures we watched this movie on YouTube about how to take a good picture.  It gave us tips on composition, subject matter, centring, focus, etc.

We worked with a buddy and spent a lovely Wednesday afternoon going around the school taking pictures. We could take as many as we wanted, practicing different techniques, angles and viewpoints.  When we were done we had to delete all but 4 or 5 of our favourites.

Mrs Nichol printed the pictures and then we framed them on coloured paper.  Lastly we named our pictures and put labels on them.

Our photos are now hanging in our classroom.  Some were framed and hung from the railing outside our room on carnival day.  One person even wanted to purchase one of the pictures!  You can view all of our photos below or by clicking >>here<<

Carnival Photos

Mrs Thibauld from MaddieAboutYou.com photography loved our pictures so much that she decided to choose one as the winning photo based on all the important elements of a great photo.  She chose this photo, 'Peek' by Liam.  His prize is a family portrait session at Cockle Bay Beach.

Congratulations Liam!

Waterslide

On Friday was Splish Splash Day for the Year 1 and 2 students.  Every year they have a huge waterslide as part of their day.  After the splish splash events are finished the rest of the school gets a turn using the waterslide.  Here are some pics and a couple of short movies of us having our turn.

Buddy Class

Today we met our buddy class, Room 27.  We were very excited to get to be the big buddies as we have always been the little buddies! We went to Room 27 and were given a little buddy.  Then we chose a book from their class library and went outside to the adventure playground to read our book with our buddy.  After we'd read our books it was lunch time and we went behind Room 25 & 26 to have a picnic with our buddies.  We can't wait to spend time with them again!
