Kapa Haka Videos in Canva

Today in our Cybermsart lesson we were lenring how to make a video using photos. 

 Firstly we had to look at the Google Photo Album shared with us that has got lots of photos from our school's Kapa Haka day.  We searched the photos and download the ones we liked. We needed 3 or 4 photos. 

Then we uploaded the photos into Canva and added them to our pages in our video. 

We had an audio file to choose from. Either the boys haka or one of our waiata. We didn't quite finish them so we will finish these on another day.

Don't Fall For Fake

 Today in our Cybersmart lesson we were thinking about scams and phishing and the ways that people online try to get things like your password or personal data.

We looked at some online information and had a tug-o-war. We did this digitally on a Jamboard.

Here are some of the ideas we had to think about then decide what to do...

Being Sunsmart

Today we were talking about how we are sunsmart at St Mary's School and thought of 3 or 4 important messages for others.

We created a GIF in Canva. We learned how to make our first page and then duplicate it so our formatting was easy to have on other pages. 

We learned how to format text, add backgrounds, find our school logo and shield, change the colours of texts and elements and how to animate elements. 

Here is Macey's GIF. Do you think she has good sunsmart messages?

Playing Games Online

 Today in our Cybersmart lesson we looked at a video of 2 friends playing a game online together.
In the video they made smart decisions  about how to play and who to play with. 
We then brainstormed our ideas on how to keep games fun and friendly on a Jamboard.

What games do you play online? 

Who do you chat with while playing online? 

What keeps your games fun and friendly?

Here are our ideas ...

Bug Hotel

This afternoon was spent redoing our bug hotel. We took it apart and checked to see what bugs had found a home. We found lots of ants, spiders, centipedes, cockroaches, 3 slugs, 1 snail and 2 caterpillars. Then we put the hotel back together layer by layer adding shells, driftwood, sticks, leaves and other pieces for the bugs to make their new home in and a safe place to have their babies.

Sunsmart Video by Marley

 Today we did some more work on our Sunsmart videos.
We added animations and audio to make our video really eye-catching and to have "sisomo". 
Sisomo stands for sight sound and motion.

Here is Marley's video. Does he have sisomo?
