Stop Motion Animation

With the help of ICT facilitators, Chris and Tania, Room 6 had great fun learning how to animate stories. We added effects and sound and can't wait to improve our skills in future learning.

Lesane and Kanye - The Car Race Animation

Today we learnt how to use Stop Motion Animation on our chromebooks. We made our characters out of playdough and lego. We made a background black and made a road and a tunnel out of coloured paper. We discovered how to use animation and stuff. Then we put our video into WeVideo and added our sound effects and title.

Kandinsky Circles

Room 6 has been learning about an artist called Wassily Kandinsky.
We created some art work with concentric circles using hot and cold colours in pastels. We are going to experiment with water colours too.

Quality Blog Comments

:Room 6 has been learning how to make quality blog comments. First, we read comments on various blogs and discussed what makes quality blog comments. After that, we watched a video which explained the characteristics of quality blog comments. While watching the video, we used the app VideoNot.es to make our own notes. Here are Sarah's notes... "commenting is a great way to tell the author of blogs how well they have done\commenting is fun and interesting\always try to be positive\don't put too many exclamation marks\always put a question at the end of your comment and dont forget the question mark\make a connection to what they have written\be careful with humour and make sure your comment is helpful\always reread your comments to make sure you did not make a mistake\be careful about what you post because it is where everybody can see it\whatever you post is permanent\ comments on blogs
