Pop Art

This week were were creating our own Pop Art with the camera app on our iPad. We know that smart learners create original images and media.IF we create it - we own it and can use it anywhere.

We started by taking a selfie. We had to learn how to duplicate our selfie 3 times. Then we used the editing tools in Photos on our iPad to make 3 versions of our selfie.

We found out how to draw on the photo, add text, add shapes and the really fun bit of adding a magnifier.

Here is Nivayah's collage with her 4 photos. Can you work out how she has changed each photo?

Here is a collage of Jackson's 4 photos...

Commenting on Blogs

 This week we were leanring how to write positive, thoughtful, helpful comments on blogs. We have practised on our class blog post about Daffodil Art.

We had to find the blog post, tap on "Reply here" and then use our microphone to dictate our comment.

Fairy Tales in Scratch Jnr.

 This week in our Cybersmart lesson we were using Scratch Jnr to code a Fairy Tale.

Scratch Jnr is a free app for your tablet or iPad where you can program your own interactive stories and games. While we are doing this we are learning to solve problems, design projects, and express ourselves creatively. Have you used Scratch Jnr. before? We are all new to using it and we were all able to make our first page of our project. 

This project will take us more than one lesson to do. 

Here is Xavier's work so far...
