Cyber Safety Posters

Over the last month we have been learning the importance of Cyber Safety when using the Internet. We have learnt various tips and tricks that help us to be safe online. We have created some Cyber Safety posters sharing these tips and trick using the pages program. Here are some of the posters we completed.

Venn Diagrams - Classifying Shapes

Earlier on in the year the grade 4's looked at shapes and how they are made. They used "Venn Diagrams" to help them do this. Venn Diagrams allow you to look at similarities and differences between things. Here is an example of a Venn Diagram looking at the similarities and differences between a "Rectangular Prism" and a "Cube".

Cyber Safety

The 4's, 5's & 6's have been learning all about Cyber Safety during our Monday classes with Mr. Will. We have continued to document what we have learnt using the "Idea Sketch" brainstorming app. Displaying what we have learnt in this way allows visual learners to be able to understand the concepts of Cyber Safety more easily.

Here are some examples of the brainstorms that we have completed.

Congratulations to Daniel from year 6 who has won our banner competition. Daniel's banner was a clear winner amassing over 25% of the votes. Votes also went to other banners, many receiving around 10% of the votes. A big pat on the back to all students who entered the competition and thank you to all students, friends and family members who voted for their favourite banner.

Podcasting

Podcasting has hit Fatima!

After hearing a sample of what could be possible (Yonnie & Jordan's Podcast of "What we think about the iPads") some of our year 6 students have taken it upon themselves to organise some podcasting.

Matt, Tom, Ben and Spencer have decided to start a regular show call "Footy Fanatics" that focuses on the the weekend's footy (AFL)! Yonnie and Jordan are also in the process of organising a new show following on from their original podcast where they will be asking the kids around the school some questions about topical issues!

Below is the first "Footy Fanatics" podcasts! Unfortunately due to unforseen circumstances we were unable to complete the first show. We have still uploaded what we did complete so we can give you a taste of what's to come. We hope you enjoy it!

Blogging Brainstorm - Padlet

Here is a brainstorm about what we think a Blog is? It's good to see what we know before we learn about a topic, that way we can look back and see just how much we've learnt! We used a program called "Padlet" to do this! This is a year 5 brainstorm. (If you are a year 5 and would like to add your thoughts please feel free to do so!)

Cyber Safety

Cyber Safety is an important part of being able to use technology effectively in the classroom (especially our iPads). We have begun learning all about what it means to be Cyber Safe and learnt tips and tricks to use when using technology at home and in the classroom.

This week we brainstormed what we knew about Cyber Safety using an app called "Idea Sketch".

"Aden - Grade 4"

We then watched some animations that focussed on two areas of Cyber Safety.

1. Emailing (Do not open emails from people who you don't know as they might be a virus or a scam.)
2. Searching on the Net (If you come across inappropriate content online close the window you are working in. If this does not work close the browser or the computer. Be sure to tell a trusted adult also.)

We discussed each area and added any new learning to our original "Idea Sketch" brainstorm. We used this program so we could visualise our learning.
