Jahvarn's reflection about GEGNZ

Jahvarn experimenting with animation



By Jahvarn

GEGNZ 2015

On Wednesday 12 August, 20 Titans, 10 Marvellous Meerkats, Miss J, Mrs Lee and Mr Davidson went to the Google Kids Summit at Hobsonville Point School.

Miss J's group taught first.  They taught the other kids about animation on google slides.  It was cool because so many people wanted to go that it got moved to the library.  The internet kept dropping out but we still managed to get our ideas across.  It was awesome.  Some people made some very creative animations.

Mrs Lee's group taught in the last session.  They had heaps of people too in their session who were very excited about google cardboard.  The photospheres were amazing and the cardboard apps were really, really fun.

When we weren't teaching we got to go to sessions.  Some people went to writing ones, some people learnt about wriitng music and doing music videos.  There was a good session called cool apps and we learnt how to do a powtoon.  WE also went on a tour of the school.  It was really flash and had no walls inside and the playground was pretty cool.

We won some good prizes at prize giving.  Neha won a chromecast, we won some vouchers.

Make sure you watch out for our thoughts and reflections from the day!

Google Slides Animation Powerpoint

On Wednesday 12 August we are presenting at the GEG Summit at Hobsonville Point Primary School.  Anyone who wants to learn how to do animation on google slides is welcome to have a look.  Please comment if you find it useful, or if there's anything we can improve on.

Cook Islands Language Week

This week we celebrated Cook Islands language week at school.

We put together a research project as a class.  We collaborated on google slides.  We each chose something to research and contribute a page.

We worked together really well.  We focussed on our research, not copying words off the internet and making sure we put it in our own words, making our pages easy to read by using good publishing skills.

We hope you learn something!

Powhiri

On Friday 31 July we had a powhiri for our new teachers and new students.  A few Titans had some very important roles during the powhiri.  See if you can spot them!

Maori Language Week - Challenge 4!

Today's challenge was to say goodbye.

The person leaving says e noho ra.
The person staying replies with e haere ra.

Today the Titans made a few videos to show what we had learnt.  We had 3 ideas so we decided to do them all, just because we could!  We are getting quite good at filming and iMovies.

Hope you enjoy!

Computer Raffle

The Titans and the Meerkats are raffling off a computer to raise money to get us to the Google Summit.  This is happening in week 4 and it's at Hobsonville Point Primary School so it's a long bus ride.

Tickets are $2 and we are selling them every morning before school by the PE shed.  Please come and see us if you want to be in the draw to win!
