Matariki

Today we created Matariki pictures on our IPads in Explain Everything. We made parts of our pictures move by using either Rotation or Animation.

Matariki

Today in our Cybersmart lesson with Mrs Torrie we did some learning about Matariki.

We listened to the legend of "The 7 Fishes".

Then we worked on the Explain everything project at our own pace and could use the slide viewer to choose which slide we would do.

Here is some of the work we did today.

Do you know the 2 gods in the legend?

Here they are labelled on this slide

Animations

Today we learned how to create animations.

We used Explain Everything on our iPads to do this.

We had to remember how to record our voice.

We had lots of fun making the last slide with a photo of ourselves. To do this we had to remember how to use the camera app, lasso our photo and then add it to our side.

Here is Alanah's work

Here is Hunter's work

Gallery Walk

When we were nearly ready to finish our Cybersmart lesson today we shared our work on our iPads in a "Gallery Walk".

This is where we walk around and look at everyone's 

work on their iPad.

then we stand next to some work we like and we say something "thoughtful. positive and helpful" to the person who created the work.

Claude Monet Art

This week we are finding out about the great Artist Claude Monet and using his ideas to do some of our own Artwork.
