Artastic

Over the next few weeks Senior school students will have an opportunity to choose which art classes they attend at school.

Here is the sign up form.

If there are too many students in a particular art class then some students may be asked to make a second choice.

Snap Chatz Episode 1

Today we had our first go at making our micro show Snap Chatz. We will refine this as we go but for now enjoy episode 1.



Update: So the things we have talked about and will try  to improve next week are.

1. Not putting our finger over the camera.
2. Clearly asking the question at the beginning.
3. Wrapping up the video with a concluding statement.

Oh and we'll be looking for a better name because Snap Chatz is a bit taken already - Don't prosecute us - please!
