Congratulations Railee!

 Congratulations Railee!  It's like you never left.  You have returned to Mangapapa School, and continue to display all the REACH values.  I like the way that you independently organise yourself for learning, and aim to be Better than Before!  These are great attributes to have during your learning journey, especially as you prepare to be a Year 6 learner.  Well done, Railee!

Media We Like to Use

 This week in our Cybersmart lesson with Mrs Torrie we were looking at all the different types of media. This term we will be creating our own media 
and examining other media to answer questions like... 

  • Who decides what is fact or fiction?
  • Who can you trust?
Today we used Canva to create a video about media we like to use. 
We used a blank video format and explored Canva to find elements and images to represent our choices. We also learned how to record ourselves within Canva so we have a Picture-in-picture (PiP) effect. 

Here is some of our work.

Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori

 This week in our Cybersmart lesson we were focusing on Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori.
We were also reviewing how to use Mote to add audio to Google Slides. 
We had to sort Mots and match them to kupu | words and also to match phrases and sentences. 
We recorded ourselves using Mote on some of the slides.

Olympic Games Images

We have been creating images about the Olympic Games in our Cybersmart lessons. 

To finish the Olympic Torch we had to trace using polyline and curve line tools, flip the shape horizontally and recolour it. We found this really tricky. To create our own pictogram we could use shapes and line tools.

Matariki Stop Motion Animations

 At the end of term 2 in our Cybersmart lesson we read a story about Matariki and then made a stop motion animation in Google Slides. 

We had lots that we could choose to include like the names of the stars, combining shapes to make a new star shape, include a title, choosing different colours and using the Explore Tool to find a suitable background.

To see our work click on the students names in the side bar to view their creativity.
