Today we used Glogster to make an animated poster. Mine is about my friends.

Today in ICT we are answering questions from grade 2 students in Boston. There is a list of 40 questions, the students in my class may have to answer 2 or more though because there are only 28 of us, with quite a few away today. I am answering number 11 from the list, which you can find at Mrs Murch’s blog. The question was asked by Mary Clare, and it was “Do you like your classrooms?” This is my answer:

When you’re in high school at our school you don’t always stay in the same classroom. We have what is called our ‘home room’, that is where we go when we get to school to mark the roll. Our other classes are all around the school. Classes like Art, Viscom, Music, Woodwork, Cooking, Science and Sport have permanent rooms. The classrooms are not very big, but they have enough room to fit our class. They all have windows, and on the walls is usually posters, or sometimes work students have done.

In ICT we have been working on making movies. The theme is ‘What makes a good teacher?’ I used Windows Movie maker to create the movie and ACID Music Studio 5.0 to make my music. This is my movie…

Today at our school we had a police officer named Trudy come to talk to us about Cyber Bullying. First she showed us a PowerPoint about the different situations between internet predators, the innocent users, and the victims. Then we watched a movie of a detective giving a presentation, us year 7s had already been to one of those presentations though, so we just had to sit there and let our feet and bums go numb.

This is about global handwashing day, it’s on Thursday the 15th of October.

Why would there be a global handwashing day?

To celebrate our cleanliness!

What purpose would it have?

It shows us that washing our hands is important and we should be doing it more often, it will keep us healthier.

Handwashing is when you have dirty hands, or maybe you just feel like being clean, but anyway it is when you use a soap or something like that to clean your hands under water, by rubbing them together! Or you can get hand washes where you don’t need water, they just dry on your hands. And usually it’s in a sink or some sort of basin.

This is the official hand washing website 

Today in ICT we made superheros on Marvel

I used wordle to make this

Wordle

As a part of Book week, which was last week, in ICT we have made our own book covers. We used a fake name generator to get the names, a word generator for the titles, and then we typed the title in flicker and picked a photo to use as the front cover.
