Visual Mihi

This week in our Cybersmart lesson we created a Visual Mihi. 

We talked about delivering messages with images without any words.

We also talked about using images that are labelled for reuse.

We need to only use images we have permission for.

We can find images to use in the Explore Tool in Slides.

We thought of 4 images to convey information about us that we can share online.

The only words on our slide were our name.

Take a look at some of our work on the following slides and 

see if you can find out some more about us from the images we shared.

Blogging Competition Update

Last week we started our blogging competition. Here is an update.

Last week Room 5 had lots of comments from friends and families around the world. We need to make sure we reply to them.

Blogging Competition

Room 5 and Room 6 are having a race to see 

which class blog can register the most visitors 

and 

the biggest number of countries that the visitors come from.

On our class blogs we have a globe which counts the countries 

and a counter to keep track of the page visitors.

We will update the scores each week on the class blogs.

Click through the slides to see our scores from this week.

Smart Footprints

This term we are making smart decisions about our digital footprint.

Today we found out that your digital footprint is permanent.

Today we made smart decisions about what personal information we can share online.

We had to make sure we kept private information off our footprint.

We all agreed that we should never share our phone number, our address, our age and birthday and surnames online. 

Do you agree with us?

Look at our smart footprints we created today.

Planting Native Trees

What a busy morning we have had planting some of the trees that we received from the Women's Native Tree Nursery here in Gisborne for our awesome recycling. We were given over 120 native trees! We planted some kanuka, hebes and kowhai because we were planting in our school Butterfly Garden - the butterflies and bees love these plants. We used our team work skills to take turns at digging and planting and we even gave the roots a haircut so they weren't bound around the plant. We had so much fun and we can't wait to watch our trees grow into big strong ones!

Chromie's Camera App Challenge

Today in our Cybersmart lesson we were learning how to use the camera on our Chromebooks.

Chromie the Chromebook set a challenge for us. We were challenged to replace images on slides so that the image stayed in the same place and stayed the same size. We were awarded with a certificate when we completed the challenge.

Here is Arla's work.
