GOOGLE comes to Rowandale!

Google came to Rowandale today to share some exciting new equipment, Google Cardboard Cameras!

Here is the recount Ghetto wrote about today's visit...

This morning we went to Room 14 and we saw some cameras with cardboard all around for practising. 
They were called googly cardboard cameras. The reason the googly cardboard camera has cardboard on it was because then we can hold it on the side or we might press the button that makes it blurry.
The first adventure we went in was the sea. We saw sharks then we went to the mountain and I saw a family going on a hike. Next we went in the jungle. It looked like there was just a family but when I looked on my left it looked like a monkey but it was not a monkey. I was scared because it looked like the gorilla was coming to me it looked real. 
Then we went to the next one. The next 3D picture was Egypt. I saw a pyramid and I saw loads of pyramids, some people were building them.
It was amazing!
