Olympic Games Images

 This week in our Cybersmart lesson we were creating images about the Olympic Games.
One task was to complete an Olympic Torch.
We used polyline and curve lines to trace over the image, flipped it horizontally, moved it into position then recoloured it. 
Take a look at some of our mahi from today.

Commenting on Blogs - Fridge Magnets

 Today we were learning how to leave quality comment son blogs using positive, thoughtful, helpful statements. We made a fridge magnet by dragging and dropping words onto the fridge. 

Do you have magnets on your fridge at home? 

We viewed our Matariki Animations on our class blog here and commented on the mahi.

Matariki Animations Completed

 Today in our Cybersmart lesson we worked on our Matariki Animations that we started last week. We embedded our animations in our blogs so they play as an animation.

You can view our animations by clicking on the student's names in the right-hand side bar on this blog.

Matariki Stop Motion Animations

 Today in our Cybersmart lesson we listened to the story of "The Eyes of Tawhirimatea."

Do you know this story? Here it is...

We used this story as a basis to make a stop motion animation in Google Slides. We had some help to learn how to do this on our class site here.

We will finish these next week and get them onto our own blogs but here is some of our work from today.
