Check out our QUALITY BLOG COMMENTS - SCREENCAST

In cybersmart we have been looking at blogs and adding quality blog comments.

We know that a quality blog comment must be POSITIVE, THOUGHTFUL & HELPFUL.

A quality comment must have a greeting, a compliment, feedback and a question if you have one.

We have been drafting our own comments and publishing them on people’s blog posts.

We have used screencastify to share our comments and explain how they are POSITIVE, THOUGHTFUL & HELPFUL.

Here are some of our screencasts.

Matariki Kites with Rm 3

For buddy class, we did some learning about Matariki, the Maori New Year. Together, we designed our own kites. We used kebab sticks, tape, black paper to make the kite and then used pastels (gold, white and silver) and read and white feathers to decorate them. Then we got to fly them. We had so much fun making and flying our kites.
