Transparency art

We had to print an image out so that Sir could send it to the front office and it got transferred to an over-head transparency paper. When we had our images done we had to set up the Transparency Projector. We also had to set up the paper on the wall. After we had finished that we traced around the outline of the image we went around the lines harder so we could see the better. Some of us did our art in pastel and paint and some of us didn't.

About me 2

I am Araniera, I go to Taipa Area School, I have many friends and family at school. I am Maori. I also have 8 siblings. I used to have 2 dogs named Scratch and Leo. I am not a happy child sometimes when it comes to problems with other people. What we have done this year was kind of challenging to me but I got through it. I couldn’t figure out my goal because I had too many things on my mind. I can be a good friend and i can be good at listening to others if they have no one to talk to. My hopes for the future are unknown but later in my life I will figure it out. I might be a hard worker in most subjects but I guess I just need more help.

It was an alright thing to do but it was hard at the same time because you have to make sure that the string was straight and we also had to try our hardest to aim the straw directly at the top of the tree or the objects. You had keep the Clinometer up to eye lever and it straight.
