Kia Ora my name is Molly.  We have been learning to be cybersmart and create our own images using Google Drawing. We really enjoyed doing it . First you create a google drawing then you go into insert and click image and go to camera and take a photo of your self . Insert the photo into the google drawing. I went into the polyline tool and started drawing around my face. Once my face was drawn ,I deleted my photo. I added a cool background picture. This was so much fun, you should try and make one, I would love to see it on your blog.

Kia ora my name is Karmi .We have been learning to create  our own images using Google drawing.
I took a  selfie of  myself and I learnt to use the polyline tool, which is found in the lines tab.
 This tool is used to colour the picture in. I enjoyed using this tool and I found  the tool easy to use.
 I deleted my photo and added a colourful background. You should have a go, and put it on your blog, I  would love to see it.

Cameron here from Karoro school.
As part of being CyberSmart, we learnt to make self portraits on Google drawing.
(1)We took a picture of ourselves.
(2)  We used the polyline tool to go around the parts of our body.
(3) When finished we deleted our picture of ourselvers so were left with a cartoon looking you.
(4) I used scribble to do my nose.
(5) Then we added a colourful background.
I found it easy in some parts but in others it was hard especially doing my ears.
Do you want to make one? It is a challenging lot of fun!

Noho Marae at Arahura West Coast and Lake Mahinapua

 

Ruma Rima and Ruma Whitu had a fabulous time staying on and learning about the Arahura Marae, its history through carvings on the whare walls, the special place and significance of pounamu at the Arahura River and some place based learning around the history connecting two carvings and Lake Mahinapua. Thank you to Jerry who captivated the children with his knowledge and stories. Also to all the parents and teachers who help us at camp. Nga mihi nui.
