Horouta Waka Animation

 

We were learning the story called Horouta. So today I have created my own animation about the Horouta story.

I found it easy to duplicate my slides and add a bit more detail into each slide I had created. I also found it really easy to use the polyline tool to create my mountains and everything else that was created on my slides.

I found it challenging to think of my favourite part of the story because the whole story was just really amazing and I also found it hard to add the people but later on found it.

Next time I will maybe make it more longer and put lots of more detail then it has.

Twelve Days Of Christmas

I learned a new song from a book that is called the twelve days of Kiwi Christmas. I also learned a new song in that book called a Pukeko in a ponga tree.

I enjoyed making up all of the funny sentences that my group and I made. I enjoyed working cooperatively with my group and my friends, also enjoyed the pictures of our slides.

What I found challenging was the pictures that we had to find to match our sentences. It was also challenging to get a perfect picture that had fit.

I found it easy to think of ideas and come up with things like backgrounds, photos and others.

Next time I could maybe work faster instead of mucking around and doing nothing and maybe next time work a little bit more better with my group.

Teaser Activity

 

I learned how to get onto a color in website and create my own of the original.

I enjoyed coloring in my own copy of the original photo that I picked and I think that the original photo looks amazing and then compare it to mine they kind of look the same just mine has more darker colors.

I found it quite challenging to pick one of the photos because there was so many beautiful pictures to choose from and I just couldn't make up my mind but then for some reason I just picked randomly the picture of the wave. I also found it really hard to color in all of the bekaboo whites because the spot that had not been colored in was just too small for my mouse cursor but I still managed to get it.

Next time I will try to pick a more detailed picture and challenge myself with lots of little spots and try to get better at art. Next time I could try make both pictures look similar instead of making them look different.

2020 Manaiakalani CyberSmart

 

This year in Cybersmart we have been learning about so many tools and skills and even some mindset work when we are learning to write about something for example toolset goes with google slides, skillset goes with poly line, mindset goes with being the learning kind.

Some of my favourite things that I've learned to do includes math equations, reading, mathletics, sports and more physical stuff.

Some of the things that have been the most challenging are thinking of ideas for my writing samples and writing recounts and poems.

Some things I wish we had learned about that we didn't, or learned more about are toolset, skillset and mindset.

When we made our review, I was thinking about how I was going to make my slide up and how I was going to do it.

Digital Mandala Art

 

We were learning about doing mandala art on a google drawing.

I found it easy to decorate the colours of the circles and the lines.

I found it challenging to create the lines to the exact size for them to fit into the circle.

Next Time I will make more circles and try and make more of a better design.

What Christmas Means To Me

 

 

We were learning about doing something creative about what Christmas means to me. 

I found it really easy to create and find the background for my presentations. 

I also found it easy to copy and paste my writing.

I found it challenging to find santa with his sleigh and his deers. Next time I will do more work and detail in my writing.

GuyFawkes

 

We were learning about writing our own acrostic poem.

I found it easy to rhyme the words to create my acrostic poem.

I found it challenging to come up with what I was gonna do about my background that matched my acrostic poem.

Next time I will get a better background and do more acrostic poems.

Shapes

 

 

We were learning about doing a presentation of shapes and translating them into moari.

 I found it easy to insert the shapes and get the background I wanted.

 I found it challenging to get the shapes into the spot I wanted them to go in. I also found it challenging to find the moari names of the shapes.

 Next time I will try to memorize all of the moari names and add more creation and more detail to my work

Colours

 

We were learning about making a slide about colours.

I found it easy to write down the names of the colours and in maori.

I found it challenging to find a clear background photo of each fruit that matches the colour.

Next time I will do more slides and do more work and always try my best.

The Selfies

 

We were learning about how to realise if something suspicious is real or if it is fake.

I found it easy to insert my photo onto the background that I had picked.

I found it challenging to write down my postcard about what I did.

Next time I will do more writing and try to create a more quality stamp.

Digital Learning

We were learning about making a blog post about something that we learned about through the year.

I found it easy to write down all of the facts about angles and create my background and make my word art.

I found it challenging to fit every single one of my facts about angles that I wrote down.

Next time I will get more facts about angles or try something different to post about.

My Waka

We were learning about making our own waka and inserting it onto our blog.

I found it easy to use the curve and polyline tool to create my piece of art. I found it easy to create my hoe waka (paddles) as well because all I had to do was just use the curve tool and shape it into a shape on a paddle and boom that was it.

I found it challenging to make my waka and waka hoe the right size for my google drawing, it took a lot of tries big, small, big, small but the last try I got it.

Next time I will make it look more realistic and more like a waka especially the paddles. I will also try to add more detail by trying to add real looking people on the boat.

 

My Animation

We were learning about creating and making our own animation.

I found it easy to make the stars appear in the night sky.

I found it challenging to keep the boy (me) moving.

Next time I will make it more creative because the boy wasn't moving for a little while.

Me in poly-line

                                                                                                                                                   We were learning about how to make a poly-line profile creating a picture of our self.

I found it easy to polyline the face of our picture. And I found it easy to polyline the ears.

I found it hard to polyline and decorate the hair of my picture.

I really enjoyed taking the photo and polylining it. 

Next time I need to make it look more realistic and more real.
