We were learning about what is fake and what is real on the internet. Mrs Williams put a slideshow, two videos and a postcard template. She told us to open the template, make a copy, change the background to any place in the world that we would like to be and take a photo of ourselves then take a screenshot of it. After that we clicked onto a link that Mrs Williams had put on the Team Toroa site, it was a website that allowed you to remove the background from a photo for free! Then we uploaded it to the template and put it in the place that we thought would look the most realistic. We were then able to fiddle with the format like dropping a shadow or changing the lighting. We then had to write in the other part of the template about how we were in this country we were visiting. (Obviously not really!)
I found it easy to do the writing in the postcard, it really felt like I had been visiting Ireland for three weeks. This is the first part of what I wrote: To Mum, Dad, the Boys and Pania, I miss you lots and lots. It is amazing here in Ireland, I have been to lots of lakes and villages. You were right not many of them have those lovely thatched roof cottages. I hope things are going well at home, have the boys been good? I absolutely love it here in Ireland, the photo of me on the other side is me at one of the many castles that I have been to in these past three weeks.
I found it challenging to take the photo.
Next time I will get a buddy to help me with the photo sooner.
