Hello Bloggers!!!
I have been learning how to use media including YouTube, Google Drawings and Google Slides. It’s been a lot of fun. I made this animation using google slides. I particularly enjoyed creating my own character. Being creative keeps learners motivated and engaged. The digital tools we have available are excellent for a wide range of creative tasks.
Let us know about your use of digital tools to be creative.
Ngā mihi,

Today in Cybersmart went discussed all the learning we did last term and made it into a Graphic Novel. It was brilliant making a our own comic.
We could pick the characters and what they were saying to make our own story. Reminding people what they can share.
Talofa Lava Bloggers,
We’ve been really busy and it’s been a long time since our last post (actually in term 1) so we thought we’d do a catch up post …
Orewa Surf Trip
Last term we went on a bus to Orewa which is about an hour away. We went to learn how to surf. It was difficult standing up. We fell over heaps of times. Some people managed to stand up for 10 seconds. Later we had free swimming time but they didn’t let us go very deep. The water was cold at first but we got used to it quickly.
Basketball
The year 5&6 students went on a basketball trip. We saw heaps of teams. We had a run around then we practised. Later we played some games. We tried hard and had fun. We learned a lot and when we were back at school we had a class challenge.
Art Trip
We went to the C0rban Estate Art place. Our teachers were Whaea Penny and Whaea Molly. They talked about Matariki and how it related to our art. They taught us how to work with pastel and how to draw New Zealand birds and plants. We used colour pastels in layers. We coloured the bird a basic colour then we added lighter and darker colours to part of the birds. At the end we used clay paint to make the night sky in the background. It was so much fun.
Dance
We learned to do a dance with Millie. She is a dance instructor. It was fun learning the dance moves and she told us to do our own style. At the end we had to share our dance with the class. We had to remember it all … and it was easy to remember. We hope we get to do it again.
Hope you enjoyed our post. Let us know what you have been doing in the comments … bye
Hi,
I’m Mr Albert. I’m new to blogging and learning a lot as I go. It’s great to have so many people to learn from as well as tutorial videos that I can watch again and again. I hope to connect with lots of other bloggers and see where this journey takes me.
Some of us went to the Zone Cricket tournament. We had to follow all the rules carefully. We won 2 games and lost 1. We gave 3 cheers to the other teams and high-fived them. We versed Dominion Road, Three Kings and Halsey Drive schools. Afterwards we had pizza and played on the playground. We also had ice blocks when we got back to school.
The next zone tournament is football in 3 weeks. There will be a boys and a girls team. There will be trials next week.
This week we also learned about rounding and expanding numbers. Working with big numbers in the hundred thousands was kind of hard. We had to do lots of examples. We also learned that without zero you can’t make numbers like 100, 1000, 10 000, 100 000 or 1 000 000.
Have a great weekend.

Goodbye : )
What a busy week we had. We did loads of tests, we did Pedal Power, we did fitness, we learned about Screencast and we finished early on Wednesday because the teachers had a union meeting. We did a PAT maths test and we did a writing test. During Pedal Power we learned all sorts of different things. Flo learned how to do the brakes, Kayshjarn learned how to scooter on the bike, Mohamed learned how to ride a bike on the second day, Sammy learned how to make sure the bike is stable and Wynette learned the pedal tap. We also learned to use Screencast. We taught Mr Albert how to fix some of the problems with sound and language. We recorded our Pepeha. It was cool.
Have a fantastic weekend and we will see you next week.
