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. Check out our photos below!

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?

Being Sunsmart

Our school is Sunsmart! 

This term we have to wear our hats whenever we go outside our classroom. 

Do you have to do this when you are at school?

We do other things as well to be Sunsmart at school.

We are creating videos in Canva to show this.

Today in our Cybersmart lesson we started creating our video.

We talked about design like using 3 colours and no more than 2 fonts.

We also talked about backgrounds that show the messages clearly.

Cricket

Today we had Joey from Northern Districts Cricket Association come and teach us how to throw, catch and bat. We had lots of fun practising these skills.

How To Be An Upstander

 This week in our Cybersmart lesson we were thinking about how we can help others 
and be an upstander rather than being a bystander.

We made a new Google Drawing ourselves in our Google Drive, renamed it and made sure it was filed in our Cybersmart Folder. Then we designed some important messages about being an upstander.

One important thing to do is to take a screenshot and email it to trusted adults. 
Mrs Torrie's inbox was full of your screenshots! 

Here's a sample of what we emailed...

Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori

 This week in our Cybersmart lesson we were using Mote to record ourselves.

We sorted numbers and other kupu by listening to a Mote. 

Then we used Mote to record ourselves.
