Today, we created a comment card for our families to explore our blogs. Two skills we used today were resizing our pictures and control L to select our blog links. One tip for our families is to start with a positive comment.
Today, I learnt how to use Google Maps to find my buddy School and I learnt how resize my canvas on Google Draw. I learnt that St Mary’s school is close to a river. My tip is to move your fingers slowly across the touch pad when zooming in or out.
Today in Cybersmart Room 6 created a Google Slide to celebrate our learning. We added different images and transitions to our slides. It was hard to animate some of our pictures. It was fun to learn how to create with Google Slides.
Today in Cybersmart we learnt how to duplicate, rotate, arrange and our fill bucket to create some gradient colours for our stars and background. One thing we found hard was to rotate our diamond using aerial. We also learnt how to nudge our shapes.It was a lot of fun.
Today, In room 6 for Cybersmart, Matua Peter and Whaea Justine helped us use shapes in Google slides. We had to use different types of colours, shapes and backgrounds. Some us made rockects, submarines and other cool things. It was a lot of fun.
Over the past few weeks, Room 5 have been work alongside with Matua Peter and both Whaea Justine and Whaea Fiona. We have working learning more about being a Cybersmart Learner, creating and working with our Chromebooks. We also have leant about our Smart Foot print too. We learn new skills and use them in our lessons. We love to collaborate and work together.
We used shapes and lines in Google Draw to create an illustration of our sea creature
My sea creature is a asteroidea
My sea creature has five arms
My sea creature can stick on rocks
My sea creature has no brains or blood.
Our class have been working on creating Christmas animations using Google Slides. We have worked very hard to complete our animations. Here is Evan’s animation. He was the first to complete his animation and is very proud to share the story of Jesus’ birth.
Today we were learning to be observant when we see different media. We watched a video about a house hippo and thought about what we already know about hippos. We asked ourselves ” Did this make sense?”
Next we looked at different images and talked about why we thought they were real or fake. This photo tricked us. Do you think it is real or fake?
Leave your answer in the comments with your reason why.
Yesterday we were lucky enough to come back to Term 4 and have a new experience. Bigfoot Adventures is funded by Auckland Transport and they go around to schools, teaching children about safety on bicycles. Kyla and Kate were our instructors and they introduced the importance of wearing the correct gear for cycling. Cyclists must wear fluorescent bright colours so drivers can see them easily and they must not wear sandals or crocs but only shoes that protect their feet.
At the beginning we all went and lined up shortest to tallest along the fence. We were given bikes that fitted our size and then we learned about fitting our helmets correctly. The children who were confident cyclists went with Kyla to the top court and those who were less confident went with Kate under the canopy.
After that we learned lots of new things like how to stop at a line, use hand signals, weave between cones, remain balanced on our bikes and only use the gears when we are pedalling.
Finally, the most exciting activity we did was having free time to practise the skills that we had already learned. We all enjoyed riding fast and taking our hands off the handlebars.
In conclusion, we are so grateful for the opportunity to learn how to cycle on our very own fleet of bikes. Hopefully, we will get more time to cycle this term.
