Photos with meanings 2

1st photo: This photo represents people as the match sticks and all the red people are the same but the green stick represents a person that is different to the red stick, because it is green and stands out from the others.

2nd photo: Life is worth living so live every day to its fullest. You have to take risk and you never know what will happen. There is never a dull moment in life. This is because the people are jumping of of the bridge because they are taking risks and living life to its fullest.

3rd photo: Never give up and be stuck in your own little bubble for the rest of your life. You need move on and be brave and open up to the world. I think this because the fish is jumping from his little bubble to a big bowl as we would to the world

Photos with meanings

1st photo: The photo is saying that a book has more meaning than movies because there is more iceberg under the water than on top.

2nd photo:The photo is showing that the red man is the leader because he is the one in the middle that is different and all the others are the same and are afraid of change so the red man is helping the others out for change.

3rd photo: A picture can explain a thousand words because every picture has millions of words in in and all those words have a meaning to life.

My photo: Here it is saying that people these days are a lot like couch potatoes. We sit on technology all day, and we need to become more active and get moving or we will turn into a potato.

Fact and Opinion

How can you tell the difference between fact and opinion?

The difference between fact and opinion is that a fact is true and that you can show someone that what you said is real and opinion what you think about something eg: cats are the best pet but that is what you think.

- Frogs, 

Opinion= Frogs are the best pet, Frogs are so cool, They are beautiful.
Fact= A frog has four legs, a frog's tongue is about 1/3 of their body, Frogs don’t drink water they absorb it through their skin.

Favourite app.... SNAP CHAT

Snap Chat is an app which allows you to send pictures to your friends and families.

You can make your picture last for how long you want from either 1 second to 10 seconds. Once you have played the snap chat you can only replay it once more, and you can only replay one snap a day. 

There is also a page which allows you to set your pictures as a story which your friends can keep replaying but it only lasts 24 hours.

There are also special features with in the app like once you have taken a picture you can change the effect also change the font and add the time to your picture.

So Snap Chat is a great way to send beautiful pictures to people or maybe even the odd silly selfie.
