toc This week we had literacy workshop! We had to learn how to use "I Can Animate" and we leant more about making animations. Then in our groups we had to make a story then storyboard, then film/make and finally edit! In my group is Hunter, Ethan, Jahvis and Daniel. The problem that most groups have is that we keep on writing our story on the storyboard and those are then next steps so far for my group. What we are supposed to do a story plan,and just do a basic plan to read off of what we did in our stor as our storyboard.

This week we did our literacy workshop and we learnt how to use an app called... I CAN ANIMATE on the ipads! It's an AWESOME movie making app! I enjoyed using it and I used it to make a movie of our class swimming at the Millenium Institute. Witch reminds me, today our class went to swimming but I was sick so I didn't swim and next week I will swim. What I could work on is probably my butterfly and breast stroke and keep on going when I not getting tired while I do free stroke. I really enjoy swimming! Tomorrow the year 3-6's are doing cross country! I can't wait some people can though but I pesonaly think it's AWESOME!!! I can't wait!!!

On Friday Marianne and Isaac represented our class in the year 5/6 speech finals!!! Together they were 2 of 4 year 5's!!! The rest of the year 5's were: Aria and Jade. A ria won the whole final!!! But everyone else did a great speech!!! I really wanted to make it in although I didn't, our class speech finalists did a great job! My next steps probably would be... To use more eye contact, more expression and to speak louder. I really enjoyed all the speeches! Today we also started our new spelling program. It was quite fun my group had to do, plurals ending with - OES we came up with words like; Mosquitoes, Potatoes, Buffaloes and Toes! My next steps are... To think of a better variety of word and try to get all of my words right!

Thursday 9 August
This week was the start of week 4!!! Guess what that meant? SPEACH SEMI FINALS! Out of our class Isaac, Marianne and Bridget all made it in! Marianne and Isaac both made it to the FINAL and Isaac didn't even need his Cue Cards! I think that Isaac and Marianne both deserved to make it in and did so! Bridget also did really well, they represented our class very well!!!

Yesterday we did ICT. In ICT we changed a setting that let us comment on each others wikis. First Miss McCauley had to change a setting on our wiki, once ours were able for people to comment on our wiki, people had to send requests I sent lots of request, then Miss McCauley had to accept it. We couldn't accept it because Miss McCauley is the organizer of our wiki. Then we were free to comment. We had to go into edit mode though so we had to be careful that we dindn't delete anything
