Where does determination come from?

Important Notice!!!!

Tomorrow we will be taking photos the start our Photo Essays about determination. Unfortunately we can not access the pod cameras as they are need for a trip so I have asked the class could they bring along a digital camera that they have permission to use. If they can not access a camera or have permission or you are not comfortable with this they do not have to.  We will have some at school to use.

Any cameras brought along will be locked in Ebony's office for break times and when not in use. The owner will be the only one using the camera to ensure safety of the device.

Please include any download cord for transferring photos.

Ipods, ipads can be brought along for this purpose also.

Any queries please email Ebony.

Thanks
