Our maths game

WALT create a maths game on google slides. Yesterday, Kowhai class made their own maths games using Google Slides. We focused on our addition doubles facts.

Make sure you give it a go! Good luck

 

Mr fox animation

WALT- make drawings on google draw and use them as characters for our animations.

We had to use google draw to make different characters from the Mr Fox story. Once we made all the things we needed on google draw we put them into google slides and we made an animation. We had to make sure we moved the characters around and we had to use speech bubbles to make it look like the characters were talking to each other.

Here are some of the animations that we made!




Reflection-
We like that we go to add speech bubbles onto our animations so our characters could talk. We also liked that we had to be creative and not use images from the internet. It was fun making all the colours on the gradient.
Next time we want to make things more colourful and use more shapes. We also want to try and use different shapes that were on the internet.

Question-
Do you like our creative Mr Fox pictures?
If you made this what colours would you use?
What book could you make an animation out of?

Taonga Class Holiday Art

WALT- use google drawings to make a picture of our holiday adventures.

First we did a draft on a piece of paper. Then we had to go into google drawings and pick a colour for our background. We used shape tools to make some of the pictures. After that we made sure it looked how we wanted it to look and that it made sense. We had to have pictures of us doing something in our drawing.

Reflection-
2 stars- We liked that we got to use different shapes and got to use the different colours- it was much faster than colouring it on paper. We liked that we had to make our own pictures rather than going onto google and copying pictures. We also liked that we could change our backgrounds.
1 wish- Next time we would add even more detail to our pictures and use more colours mixed together. We also wish we could join shapes together so they move together.


Questions-
Have you made holiday art using google draw before?
How would you make your holiday art?
What did you do in your holidays?
Do you like our holiday art?

Proofreading for writing

WALThat- we need to proofread our work so that it is correct and make sense to the reader.

We have been learning how we can proofread our writing so that when someone reads it, it makes sense and is easier for them to read.
We learnt to check that we have capital letters and punctuation in the right place and to underline or circle any words that we think we may have spelt wrong so we can go back a check them later.

Reflection-
2 stars- We liked that we circled the words we thought were wrong because it was easier to find them when we finished and we liked that we got to write an interesting story. 
1 wish- Next time we want to have more time to finish and add things to our stories.

Question- What do you like to write about?

Google Draw -

WALT: Use google draw tools

Information: We drew pictures from Fantastic Mr Fox










Reflection: I like the colours I used and I liked choosing all the different shapes.
Next time  I want to have more time to make it look more like a digger and add some animals to the drawing too.

Question: Do you think I could have added anything else to make it look like a digger?

Kaitiaki

WALT- be Kaitiaki of Papatuanuku.

In our school we have a competition to see which class has the most litter-less lunches. In our class we have been working really hard to make sure that we don't have any single use plastic in our lunch boxes.
Taonga Class won and we were rewarded with a yummy fruit basket from Coopers Beach 4 Square!

Reflection- 

2 stars- We liked that most of the class have litter-less lunches and that we have all been working hard to have no plastic in our lunches. 
1 wish- We want our whole class to have plastic free lunch boxes all the time.

Question-
How are you Kaitiaki at your school?

Skeletons

WALT- create a quality blog post. 

We made Skeletons in class to learn about our Hauora and Taha Tinana. We had to colour in our skeletons and then cut them out and laminate them. 

Reflection-

2 stars - I liked that I got to learn about different bones and that we got to colour them in. 

1 wish- Next time I want to add labels to my skeleton so I remember the names of them. 

Do you know the name of the biggest and strongest bone in the human body?
