Puppet Show

Today we were crating Puppet Shows from our reading book with Explain Everything.
We had to take photos of the book and use the scalpel tool to cut out the characters.
Then we made our characters talk and move.

Here is Mack's Puppet Show. 

Can you see how carefully he used the scalpel tool? 

Ka pai to mahi Mack!

Retelling a Story

Today in our Cybersmart lesson with Mrs Torrie we were retelling a story.

We used our reading book out of our book bag.

We took photos of the characters and used the scalpel tool in Explain Everything to cut them and get them off the page.

The scalpel tool lets us be really, really careful with our lassoing.

Here is Olivia's work. Her book is Father Bear Goes Fishing. Have you read this book?

Can you see how carefully she has cut around Father Bear?

I like her clear voice too. Ka pai Olivia!

Explain Everything & recording our voice

This week we worked on recording our voice.
We had to take a selfie by turning the camera around.
We had to make sure our shutter button wasn't on the same side as our camera.
We had to use the lasso tool to crop the photo.
And then when we got our photo on our page we had to record our voice.
What a lot of new learning for us all!

Being Cybersmart - Hug Hold & iPads

We use our Hug Hold when moving around with our iPads.

We were taking photos of round things in our class.

We had to move around lots so we used our Hug Hold.

Creating in Explain Everything

We were being creative in Explain Everything 

when we worked with Mrs Torrie on Being Cybersmart.

This is an app we can use for lots of things.

Today we were drawing in Explain Everything.

Being Cybersmart

We have started our work with Mrs Torrie about Being Cybersmart.

Today we worked on taking quality photos 

with the Camera App on our iPads.

We had to take a selfie as well.

Then we had to take photos of 5 round things.

We found lots of round things in Room 1.

Taking photos with our iPads

I wonder what these learners found to take photos of?
