Who Am I?

 Today we were learning about only using our first names when we are using our devices.

We were using our iPads and had to take a photo of ourselves. 

Then we wrote our name in many colours. 

Then we had to record ourselves saying our name. 

We had to remember to start recording and stop recording!

We have worked on our Kawa of Care and know how to "hug and hold" 

when moving around with our iPads. 

Here we are walking with our iPads to put them away today.

Singing in Room 6

 We love to sing every morning. 

We are learning lots of new songs in Room 6. 

What songs do you like?

Here is a photo of us signing this morning. 

The song is on the screen for us to follow along with.

Welcome to Room 6 in 2021

Kia ora koutou! Welcome to our Room 6 blog for 2021. 
We are a lively bunch of learners who will be using iPads to Learn Create and Share. 
What do you like learning about?
How do you share your learning?
Here is our class with our teacher - Mrs Lemaire.

Me & My Favourite Things

Today in our Cybersmart lesson we talked about personal information that we can share online and private information that we should not share.

We also learned how to find Creative Commons images using our iPads so we could save them and use them in iMovies. We used the Tools > Usage Rights to find these images.

We put 3 of our favourite things into iMovies. Then we made a movie using our camera app on our iPad with us talking about our favourite things. In iMovies we could put the image and our movie together using a feature called "picture in picture". Wow! The results are stunning.

Here are some of our movies.

Being Sunsmart

Today we made movies about Sunsmart at St Mary's School. We used iMovie on our iPad. We started by taking photos of us being sunsmart. We added the photos to iMovie then recorded ourselves. Some of us were able to add a title to our movie and the author's names.

What do you do to be sunsmart?

Here are some of our movies...

Turning Photos into a Video

 We were using our edited photos to make a video in or Cybermart lesson. We have already used the photos to make a collage in Explain Everything so now we used the same photos again.

This time we used iMovie on our iPads. It was really quick to import our photos and then record our voice as well. 

Have you ever made a video? What was your video about?

Here is Nehoa's video. Can you hear his clear voice? Ka pai Nehoa!

 

Here is Leitu's video. She made 2 recordings in her video. Her voice is clear as well. Ka pai! 

Creating a Photo Collage

 Today we used our edited photos from last week and made a collage with them.

We made a new Explain Everything project but just had one page in the project. We renamed our project before working on it.

Because we had saved our photos to our Drive we could import them into Explain Everything.

We placed our photos on the page and made a colourful background for them. Then we had to save our work as an image into our Drive.

Phew! What a lot of steps! But we did it!

Here are some of our collages. Do you like the coloured backgrounds?
