Today for our Cybersmart lesson we created Matariki stars. We first discussed the theme for this year’s Matariki celebration which is Matariki heri kai. Matariki bringer of food. For our create task, we created our stars. We used images, line tools and shapes to create our stars. We also had to order the appearance of our images either to the back or to the front of our star. It was a fun activity today.
Here are the stars designed by Summer and Jonah
Today for our Cybersmart lesson with Mrs Tofa, we created out own visual mihi. A visual mihi tells others about you through images. We were encouraged not to use words. We discussed that images we use for our visual mihi have to be cybersmart and promotes us positively.
We used google drawings to create our visual mihi. We also learnt now to change the shape of our images using the mask image tool.
Below is Jonah’s visual mihi
Today we were creating Samoan patterns in Google Drawings. We looked at some tapa designs and identified the shapes in the different patterns. Mrs Tofa then demonstrated how to use the line tools in Google Drawings. We then accessed the template from our class site and started creating our own tapa designs.
The different tools in Google Drawings we used today are:
Here are some designs created by members of our class.
