On the last two days we had our sports tournament postponed and our hike up the Waima Forest postponed due to severe weather warnings.
Instead, the children learned to use Google Slides to make animations.
The task was focused on having at least three facts that they had learned about the kauri snail and learning to make the movements of images smooth. Children also learned how to use narrow their image search by choosing images with transparent backgrounds and how to layer images.
Below are some of their finished products ( I am still waiting for Sophya and Kataraina to share theirs).
Daniel and Neil have been experimenting with coding using Scratch. As a class, we will be learning more about coding and computational thinking next term. I am looking forward to seeing the computation thinking develop in my learners and help them develop their digital creativity.

I was wondering what Room 6 were up to when I heard the word 'animations' shouted across the court on the last week of Term 2. Great effort Room 6 students :) Good to see the knowledge content come through in your animations, and the digital designing skills you have acquired too. Scratch is a good (and fun dare I say it!) programme for developing computational thinking. How about trying some unplugged coding - maybe you have already! Love what you're doing, and you're very blessed to have a teacher such as you have :)
