Snow

Well due to the extreme weather conditions, we've had the last four days off school...needless to say, everyone is delighted :)

The snow first came last Friday night & despite the fact it was still there on Monday morning..the school was open. My school bus was 30 minutes late because it got stuck on a ramp & they had to change buses...I thought I'd go home that evening with either hypothermia or frostbite on my toes but that wasn't the case. =D After waiting the entire day for the announcement for going home early, it finally came...at 3:50.

I don't think I've ever seen this much snow! It's very deep & seems to be getting progressively worse every day as temperatures plummet to nearly -10 degrees some nights! :O

I'd say our mini mid-term break will be over on Monday :/

Podcasting

So recently T.Y's had the opportunity to compose a podcast in groups about any subject they wanted. In the morning, two Australian's (Peter & Chris) came to the school to tell us how to make a podcast, how to edit it & how to upload it.
My group (myself, Mia, Sarah & Leah) decided to make a podcast about the history of St. Wolstans...albeit, quite a far-fetched, slightly unrealistic tale :)
After writing the script, we divided up the parts, recorded each of our sections & added some background music. The end result was brilliant :D
Next we sent our podcasts to our phones via bluetooth & Peter told us about some websites which we may find interesting, such as:
http://www.audasity.com/ &
http://www.osalt.com/
