We have been learning about Smart Media in our Cybersmart lessons. Fake images is a part of learning about Smart Media. Sometimes we can see images online and we think they are real but they are not. They are images created by people using digital technologies. Today, we made our own fake images. It was a fun lesson to see what we can create. Some of us put ourselves in different backgrounds like different holiday destinations, movie scenes and even space.

Here is Cassie’s create work from today’s lesson

Today we were learning about the story of David and Goliath. First we watched a short animation about the story of how David won a battle against Goliath using rocks. Eventhoug David was younger and samller than Goliath, he won because God was with him.

For our create task we animated the story in EE using the drawing tools. Here are some of our animations

Today we were commenting on movies from the Manaiakalani Film Festival. We watched the movies on an EE project then we recorded ourselves saying our comments.

Today for our Cybersmart lesson we were learning about flags. We had to match the flag to its country and then, we created our own flags. To create our own flags we had to think about colours which represent us. We also had to think about symbols which describes something about us.

Here is Fa’alili’s flag work from today.

In our cybersmart lesson with Mrs Tofa, we were learning about a country called Turkey. We were able to browse a website on our Explain Everything project to gather our information. It was very interesting to learn about Turkey. It is a country that is far from New Zealand.

We had to answer some questions using the information from the website. Here is Paul’s recording.

Room 1 have been following the Olympics and today for our Cybersmart lesson, we completed a project about the Olympics. We had to match the correct flag with the country it represents. We also looked at the medals table and discussed which country had the most medals. Our last activity was identifying sports by looking at images. Here are some recordings from some of our class members.

Today we looked at some blog comments on our class blog and reflected on how they make us feel. We had to choose an emoji to represent how we feel and also record ourselves explaining how the comments made us feel. It was good to learn about the importance of being kind when commenting on blog posts because we have to think about how the blog post author might feel.

Here are some recordings done by our class members

Today in our cybesmart lesson with Mrs Tofa, we illustrated our writing and we also recorded ourselves reading our writing.
