Christmas Fun

Today in our Cybersmart lesson we were learning how to use our iPads to find images on the web that we can reuse. We had to use the search tools and select creative commons. We could use dictation as well to enter our search items which was a lot quicker than typing the words.

We searched for Christmas images. Then we used iMovies and recorded ourselves talking. 

Here is one of our movies. You can view more movies on our class site here.

Kapa Haka

 Today in our Cybersmart lesson we made movies about Kapa Haka. We learned how to save photos from the class site and how to add them to a movie. We recorded ourselves talking about our Kapa Haka experience. 
Here is Mackenzie's movie. To see more movies visit our Kapa Haka page on our class site here. 

Being Sunsmart

This term we have to wear a hat when we go outside at school. We have got lots of shady places to sit and eat and to play in.

We used iMovie to create a movie about being sunsmart at school. We worked with a buddy to take photos. Then we addd the photos to iMovie. We recorded our voices in iMovie as well. Some of us added titles as well to our movie.

Do you have to wear a hat at school? Do you have sunsmart places to play?

Here are some of our movies.

Space Quiz

 This week in our Cybersmart lesson we created an interactive quiz about Space in Scratch Jnr.

We had to think of a question and 3 answers. 2 answers had to be incorrect and one answer correct. When we coded the quiz we made sure that the player would know if they were correct or incorrect. If they tapped the correct answer it would say something to tell them it was right. And if they tapped the incorrect answer it would tell them that they needed to try again. 

We had lots of different questions in our quiz like "What is the biggest planet? and "How many planets are there in the solar system?"

Games in Scratch Jnr.

 Today we were using Scratch Jnr to create a game with 2 sprites.

We could add text in and use the characters we wanted to.

Here is Natalie's work... can you see how she has included her friend in her game?

Here is Kileau's work... do you like playing football?

Room 10 Photo

 This is a photo of Room 10. It was taken on "Onsie Day". That day was a fundraising event for school camp for the older classes.

Do you have a onsie? What is it like?

Space with Scratch Jnr

In our Cybersmart lesson this week we carried on with our Space project.  We added another page to our project and learned how to make a new page and make a new background. Then our sprites were playing a game together.

Here is Alyvia's work...

Here is Reinhardt's work...

Karakia

 Every morning we start our school day with karakia. We have a karakia for Wainui Beach School. 

Here we are saying karakia this morning to start our new day of learning.

Sprites in Space

This week in our Cybersmart lesson we were working in Scratch Jnr again. Today we learned how to make the astronaut sprite look like us by inserting our face using the camera. We had to create our own alien using the paint editor. We also learned how to record our voices so we could make our sprites talk. 

Then we put in the code blocks so they didn't talk at the same time and we used the motion code blocks to make the sprites move. We will carry on with this project next week so we can make the sprites do something together in space. 

Here is Adele's work from today...

Room 10 Ocean Dioramas

Our Term 2 Inquiry topic was the Ocean. To finish our term we made Ocean Dioramas.

Sea Sprites

Today we were learning how to use Scratch Jnr on our iPads.

Scratch is a coding app that we can use to be creative.

Today we made an underwater scene and added sprites.

We had to make our sprite move in a square.

We had to test and debug a lot of times to get it right.

Some of us were able to make 2 sprites move and it looks like they are having a race. 

Here are some screen recordings of your work...

Cybersmart Lesson

This week in our Cybersmart lesson with Mrs Torrie we were learning how to download Explain Everything projects 

onto our iPad from the class site.

We did some leanring about the letter 'P', some dot-to-dot joining and following patterns.

Silent 'e' word work

Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu

We looked at our blogging buddie's class blog today.

They are Rūma Pūkeko in Hokitika.

We looked at the map to find out where they live.

Here is the map showing Hokitika and Gisborne.

They are a long way apart and it would take a long time to drive there. You would need to get the ferry across Cook Strait.

Have you ever been to Hokitika?

Isla's Lockdown Hero

Isla created this in Explain Everything. 

She created a medal for her Lockdown Hero.

Who is your hero?
What design would you use for your medal.

Recording our Voice in Explain Everything

Today we were learning how to record 

our voice in Explain Everything.

We took some photos and had to use the lasso tool to crop them.

Then we talked about our photos.
Some of us were able to make 3 pages in our 
Explain Everything project.
Here is Sophie's work.

Cybersmart - Cropping photos

We were using Explain Everything on our iPads with Mrs Torrie in our Cybersmart lesson. 

We had to take a selfie then use the lasso tool to crop the photo. Here is some of our work.

Cybersmart - Hug Hold

Every week we work with Mrs Torrie on being Cybersmart.

This week we were learning about how to use our iPads.

We started off by learning how to Hug Hold.

Here we are showing how we move around with our iPad.

Nau mai, haere mai

Welcome to our class blog where we will share our learning.

We look forward to sharing our learning with our school,

our whānau and friends everywhere.
