This is a picture of the CN Tower in down town Toronto. The CN Tower is the tallest free-standing structure on land in the world. It stands at a height of 1,815 ft tall. Inside the tower there is a "glass floor" where if you stand on it you can see everything below. It can be very scary for some people but for others it can be a blast. There is also a restaurant in the large circle shaped area about three quarters way up. I chose this as one of my pictures to represent my city because it is one of the main reasons people choose to come visit Toronto. (Glen)

This is the Air Canada Center in down town Toronto. The Air Canada is where the Toronto sports teams the Maple Leafs and the Raptors play their home games. I have been to the Air Canada Center many times and it is always lots of fun. (Glen)

My School


I chose this photo because it's my school's crest and has the words, "Virtus Caelum Recludit" meaning, "Character opens the way to the Heavens". This represents my school because in our school we are taught that the way you act, behave and learn, meaning your character leads you towards the dreams that you want to achieve. Another reason why I chose this photo is because, the crest has a picture of a globe and a flying object above. The globe represents the earth and the flying object represents a student or a person. Put together it means that a person is above the rest of the world achieving all their dreams.



I chose this photo because it emphasises many cultures. This represents my school because my school is full of different cultured students. In my shool there are over 20 cultures. For example, Maori, Samoan, Tongan. Cook Island, Indian, European, Scottish, French and more. My shool is a Multicultural and offers education to all cultures.

I chose this photo because it is a really old train station in Papatoetoe and is also a landmark in Papatoetoe. This train station has been in Papatoetoe for a long time and has been a part of Papatoetoe's history. A new and modern train station has been built across the old train station. The old train station doesn't have trains stop at it. This photo represents my community because my community is based on old history and people in my community like to and do respect artifects and old things from the past that involve Papatoetoe's history.

I chose this photo because Papatoetoe is named after this plant and this plant is called, "Toetoe". Toetoe is pronounced as, to-eh-to-eh. Toetoe are grass like plants that have a fluffy top and are grown and found all over the lands in Papatoetoe. Papatoetoe means, "the land of the toetoe". Toetoe meaning the plant. This photo represents my community because its part of my community's name and makes this plant important to Papatoetoe.

My community is Papatoetoe. Papatoetoe is very historical. For example, the old train stations and the toetoe plant are part of Papatoetoe's history. This shows that Papatoetoe is very historical because the commnunity has kept their historical structures from the time they were constructed, instead of destroying them.
