Swimming In The Rain

 

We were learning about creating a piece of writing  about a moment in time such as writing about something we did in the past or about a story that we can properly remember.

I found it easy to use mote and create the audio as a welcome and introduction. I also found it easy to think of words from the top of my head as well as thinking of descriptive words to put in my writing.

I found it quite challenging to remember more about the writing because it was quite a while ago.  I found it hard to think of all of the things that we did in the pool at that time.

Next time I will create more of a descriptive story with more detail and more rich words, also with full sentences and all my correct punctuation.

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.

Triathlon

 

We were learning about writing a recount about our Triathlon Day.

I found it easy to write about it and write down lots of information because I could remember most of the activities that we did and also because there was lots of stuff that we had been doing on the day such as Individual race, Team race and cheering on all of our friends but mostly everybody.

I found it challenging to write about the race because that was like the only thing that I didn't remember but I instantly brought it back into my mind within seconds.

Next time I will try write with more rich words, have the right tense always, full sentences and try to remember to write down lots more detail.

SunFlowers

 

We were learning about writing a environmental poem about sunflowers and giving it human features.

I found it really easy to create the backgrounds, get pictures and also designing everything.

I found it quite challenging to think of a rich short sentence about sunflowers and it's human features.

Next time I will thrive for a more rich and descriptive writing and always finish my work on time.

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.
