A PRIDE Animation

Pride Animation by Elijah Casson on GoAnimate


Elijah and Maia have created this fun animation, which shows ways to action Parkvale PRIDE. They used the website Go Animate which is on our Writing Symbaloo. They showed a lot of Parkvale PRIDE working and learning together to create this.

Can I get back to you on that?

Today, we read the last two chapters of Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key by Jack Gantos. Here are our thoughts on the book and our favourite parts. Can we get back to you on that?

 

Created with Padlet

Here is a Lego stop motion video created by an American student about the book. We have enjoyed watching this in class.

 

Wildebeest Writing

Yesterday we used this animated video as a writing prompt.

We discussed ideas about the structure of the story.

There was a lot of direct speech coming through in our writing, so we had a mini-lesson on punctuating direct speech.

The students' writing is very entertaining so far. Many have chosen to completely change the characters. Look out for their presented writing on the student blogs (links on the right).

Holiday Toontastic Fun

Estelle and Abby created this amusing animation on Toontastic.  Iris was watching them closely. What creative things might you do in the holidays?

Rufus Escapes

Today, I was lucky to learn together with lots of enthusiastic teachers and some wonderful students at Richmond School. We got to explore many ways iPads can be used to enhance learning.

One app we had a quick go with was Toontastic. Mrs Roil thought my attempt was very silly and dared me to put it on the blog... So here it is!

Cyber Safety

Today Constable Wong spoke to Room 16 and Room 17 about cyber safety. We are learning to be digital citizens and his messages were very helpful.

If something goes wrong it is so important you tell a parent or teacher. We will help you and we can learn from what happened.

Here is a short animated video I created using Go Animate. It is one of the sites on the Writing Symbaloo at the bottom of the blog.

Here are my notes:

Cyber Safety with Mr Wong

• Try to be safe and sensible
• Rules are to keep us safe
• You are meant to be at least 13 to be on Facebook
• Lots of things on the internet can be inappropriate
• Supervision of parents at home
• iPods, cellphones, netbooks... (we have a lot of digital tools to communicate in different ways)
• Hurt feelings (instead of being a laugh it becomes bullying)
• If you don’t know who they are, you can’t trust them
• Anything you put online, look at or send is always going to be there (even if you delete it, it can be found)
• People don’t give you free stuff, if you click on it you could get a virus or get ripped off
• If you get the wrong emails, you need to show your teacher
• If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is...
