Starting the New Year Right

Today we setup our Chromebooks for the first time. We want to start the new year right by:

  • demonstrating responsible use of our chromebooks
  • confidently navigating our learning apps

Today we focused on our Bookmarks and Google Drive. This helps us to find our learning fast and to always be in the right place at the right time when we are on our chromebooks.

Watching our Blogging Buddies’ Films

Today we were excited to see that Waenga Team had shared lots of films they had created for their Film Festival.

First we watched  Room 25’s Styrofoam Printing together on the big screen. We also wrote a comment for them. We would like to try Styrofoam printing too.

Next we used our Chromebooks to explore all the films they had created. We chose a film we liked to write a comment too.

Room 7’s Film 

Room 26’s Documentary

Practising writing our own blog comments

Room 4 has been helping Miss Cuningham write Internet Kind comments on our buddy blogs this year. Now it is our time to write our own comments. First we need to practise on a Google doc. When our commnet is ready to share we copy and paste onto the blog.

Animation by Ejay and Louis

We have been learning to animate an image. This is the first time we have tried to do this.

This is Louis’ Ball Animation. It was fun duplicating the ball around the playground.

This is EJay’s Animated Film. Adding the dragon took a lot of time.
