Coding and Blogging Term 3 Session 3

Today we created a 'wevideo' about Tynker. This was new to most of us so we have lots of areas to improve. 

Have a look in the comments below to watch our videos. 

Coding and Blogging Term 3 Session 2

This session we started using a new programme called Tynker. It's slightly more advanced than code.org but it still uses blocks.

Have a look at our DLO's.

Have our quality comments improved?

Coding and Blogging Term 3 session 1

This term started with a reminder of how to leave a quality comment.

Here are our DLO's. 

We also left each other a quality comment as practise.

We had to look closely at these images and try and figure out what was happening. Read our padlets to see our thoughts. Analysing images.

Mystery skype session 3

As a whole class we completed another Mystery Skype practice. We competed in pairs and challenged another pair to find our school.

We then created a DLO in pairs explaining ‘How to Mystery Skype.

Check them out below.

Mystery Skype session 2

This week we researched an issue. We could choose, local, national or international issues. We read an article, watched a video and summarised the issue into our won words. 

We learnt how to edit websites, embed docs, embed google maps and use images to make our headers stand out.

PREP 2017:

This sign is made from a small edge of all the student's art. The student's art looks awesome on Mamaku's walls.

These are a few examples of the student's art work based on Robert Delauney's art.

Here is a fabulous painting showing the circular shapes, lines and colours that our students used.

This piece of artwork shows triangular, circular and half circular shapes within an array of spectacular colours.

Here we have a lot of lines, dots, squiggles and an array of shapes within these concepts.

The students thoroughly enjoyed exploring Robert Delauney's art.

Last term Mamaku created many art works based on Robert Delauney's art. Here is some of the artwork that we modeled our art on.

BANQER!

QUESTION: What else should we be fined for or paid for? Do you disagree with anyone's ideas?

Check out our padlet for our BANQER Brainstorm!

If that doesn't work then please look below!
