Blog Tips of the Week:

Try and use photos on your blog.  Made sure you set them to large or medium.  We don't want to have to use a magnifying glass to see them!  Remember - your photo/s needs to be clear (not fuzzy).

If copying your work from a google doc remember to use control+shift+v when pasting this into the post you are working on.

When writing a blog comment remember - Positive, Thoughtful & Helpful!

Are you up for the Bubble Challenge?

What items can you find from your bubble?  Remember not to harm anything that can move!

Create a photo collage and post this on your blog...or on SeeSaw!

If you have a Chromebook why not use Befunky to create your collage.

I have pushed out the Befunky Chrome Extension to school Chromebooks and student managed Chromebooks.

Look for the 'b' logo for Befunky.  This is a free version so you won't have all of the features.

How to Create a Collage for your Blog:

Preparation: If you take your photos on a phone you can send them to your school email address then save photos to Google Drive.  Save them to your 'Other' folder or create a new folder.

If you've taken photos using your Chromebook they will save to your Drive.

Just remember where they are!

Befunky on a Chromebook will work with Google Drive.

If you're using a computer with a hard drive:
You can upload photos directly from your computer to Befunky.  If you don't have the Befunky Chrome extension installed on your Chrome browser or use a different browser go directly to www.befunky.com.  If you have a computer with a hard drive and use Chrome browser click here to download the Befunky extension.

How to make a collage:
1. Click on the Befunky Chrome Extension

2. Go top left, under Photo Editor select Collage Maker

3.  Click the button 'Computer' and upload the images...

Select your Layout, drag and drop your selected image into your grid

Once your grid is completed go to 'Save' 'Computer.'

You may have to give Befunky permission to access your drive.  Your image will be saved to your 'Downloads' folder.

For more information on how to use the Collage Wizard in Befunky visit their User Guides - Click here.

We’re going on a Bear Hunt, Te Haere ki te Rapu Pea @Rāwhiti School...

Bear hunts have been popular during our lockdown time. What’s in your window?

Student Blog Challenge: write a blog post to share what you’ve got in your window.

Some of you may have a bear, some may have a soft toy. Tell us about your bear/soft toy and see if you can include a photo.

Title your blog post: 'We're going on a Bear Hunt' or 'Te Haere ki te Rapu Pea'

Students who use SeeSaw: share your photo on SeeSaw. I know we can't all view individual SeeSaw accounts but I can copy the photos and collate them to share.

Or

Send your photo to Elizabeth K: elizabeth@rawhiti.school.nz I will then collate all photos to share for the Bear Hunt.

We can all go on a Bear Blog Hunt together!

Students - If you can’t remember your blog address go to - https://www.rawhiti.school.nz/our-learning/blogs/ and click on your studio blog picture. Login in with your student email and password.
