I made a slide show on iphoto using pictures of Alloa tower, we were just having a muck about with it so we understood how it worked

23rd April Brian's class

We had to go onto the internet and find out if it was cheaper buying a music CD or making one on your own... We checked out different websites to find out where the cheapest materials were. We also had to make a pie chart about what flavour of doritos people preferred. Tried to upload a picture of the pie chart but it WOULDN'T LET ME! ...
