This week in our Cybersmart lesson we read a story about Matariki and then made a stop motion animation in Google Slides.
We had lots that we could choose to include like the names of the stars, combining shapes to make a new star shape, include a title, choosing different colours and using the Explore Tool to find a suitable background.
This week we are learning how to leave quality comments on blogs. We are starting by commenting on this sticky question on our class blog.
We need to write it like a letter and introduce ourselves so the reader knows who we are and what class and school we are from.
We need to be positive, thoughtful and helpful. We need to use "power words" rather than "weasel words" like "cool" or "awesome". We must not use emojis or slang.
How would you answer this sticky question? Write your reply as a comment. Remember to tell us who you are and where you are from.
This week in our Cybersmart lesson we were learning about Quality Blog Posts. We have a page on our class site here to help us remember all the parts that make up a Quality Blog Post.
In our Cybersmart lesson we completed our online profile work by posting our Google Drawing and our "Ko wai ahau?" mahi.
All our individual student blogs are linked in the right-hand side bar of our class blog.
So head over there and click on our names to go to our blogs. Please leave a positive, thoughtful helpful comment.
We read Room 8 @ Owairaka School's blog today and they have had Road Safety Week.
We have to be road safe all the time as we have to cross a road to get to our playground. We all go across the road 4 times a day - at interval and lunchtime. Some of us have to go 6 to 8 times as that is the way we enter and leave the school as well.
We are only one of 3 schools in the whole of New Zealand that have to cross the road between playgrounds and classes.

In our Cybersmart lesson we looked at all the sites we visit. These make up our digital footprint. We now that our digital footprint is permanent - it cannot be erased or deleted.
At the end of term 1 we did a Digi Dig on our Chromebooks. We were learning more about the keys on our Chromebooks and the shortcuts so we can use our Chromebooks efficiently. We had to search fo another school and take screenshots.
Did you know that screenshots can be copied quickly and pasted straight into where you want them?
Here is Shekinah's work....
