John came to our class recently to help us learn how to edit our photograhs for our photoaday project. His mum is a teacher in our school and she told us that he has been named as The Young Photographer of the Year because he came first in the Scottish Photography Press Awards competition (First Scotrail Press Photography Awards 2006).

Well done, John!!

 The ‘Phtoaday’ project is back on track.

We have a new wiki ……. check out our map (might take a wee while to load!). It looks a lot more professional on Tom’s wiki. I think I’ll have to request his help again.

We’ll use the wiki to share and discuss our photographs stored on our flickr site.

I just logged on to Barbara’s Blog and read some scary stuff about adding clocks to the new wiki …. any technical advice would be very much appreciated

Mrs V NEVER, EVER likes photos taken (she wasn’t even aware of this one until now - and she almost likes it, so has allowed it to be shown) - well done, John!!

We are all going to be 12 this year, so we made each other a red belt to wear.

Chloe is not 12 until next year, so she took the photograph!

We’ve received a comment already on the Photo A Day flickr page!

We thought this was a great idea because Mrs V had just read a post on Ewan’s blog about this. We got loads of ideas from the LTS site for our photographs this week!

 We’ll put some of our photographs on here for you to see. Please help us choose the best ones for our Photoaday flickr challenge - it’s so hard to choose …. we’re only supposed to put on 5 each week!

Primary 7V are on their mid-term break, but I know that they’ll love examining the new camera phone. It also records videos and is an mp3 player, too! It has so many other attributes, too. I’ll let the pupils play around with it on Tuesday when we return to school - I know they’ll be much more ‘clued in’ than I am about such things.

It will be great fun reviewing the phone. We’ll take some pictures for our photo a day project , we could try making a podcast …………. and if anyone reading this knows of someone famous that we could telephone, please let us know!!

Watch this space (and our wikispaces) for the ‘reviews’ of our new phone!

“OK - week 2 challenge is “pencils and pens”
Even in today’s world of computers and technology, we still use pencils and pens. Do you have any favourites? What kind of pencil do you like to write with? What does your hand look like when you are using a pencil? I’ve got some REALLY FAVOURITE pens that seem to give me much better ideas than an ordinary one!”

Here are the pictures we’ve taken so far. We’re allowed to take 2 each and we’ll choose the best ones for the photo a day pool.

  If you click on them they get bigger and it takes you to our Carronshore Flickr page. the ‘Photo a Day’ flickr page is here
