My Favourite Things

Today in our Cybersmart lesson we made a movie about our favourite things. We talked about the kind of information we can share online and decided to share our favourite food, our favourite drink and our favourite animal. Some of us worked really quickly and added something else that they liked.

We had to do an image search to find our favourite things. We used the microphone to enter our search terms with which made it really quick.

Here are some of your movies.

Fiske likes really yummy things to eat and drink...

Lily added one more favourite to the end of her movie. I wonder what it was?

And Vincent told us about a super hero he likes. Who is your favourite super hero?

Photo Editing

Today in our Cybersmart lesson we were editing photos. 

We took a selfie on our iPad. We duplicated the photo and then edited 2 of the photos by using the editing tools on our iPad. 

We were able to use filters, draw with a pen, add text and some of us found the magnifying glass which was a lot of fun!

Here are Giannina's photos...

 

Creating Stories in Scratch Jnr

This week in our Cybersmart lesson we were learning how to create a story in Scratch Jnr. 

Scratch Jnr is an app on our iPads and you can download the app for free and use it on android tablets as well. You can use Scratch Jnr to program your own interactive stories and games. When we are doing this we are learning to solve problems, design projects, and be creative by using our computational thinking. 

Today we were starting a story with a sprite a moving and bouncing 4 times.

Time For Dinner - a Puppet Show by Avery

This week in our Cybersmart lesson we carried on making Puppet Shows with our reading books. We are getting really good at using the scalpel tool.

Here is Avery's work from today. 

You can tell who is talking in his puppet show because the pigs move when they are talking. Avery made his voice different too for each pig. Ka pai Avery!

Bubble Trouble Puppet Show

Kawa of Care

This week we were reminding ourselves of how to look after our iPads.

We had to work with our friends and ask them to show us how to use the iPads carefully.

We took photos of our friend's doing the right thing.

We could remember how to use the camera in Explain Everything, lasso our photo and some of us added a background. 

Wow! What a lot of things we can remember now.
