Middle Level  - ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ Interactive Story

Over the last few weeks the Year 3 and 4 students have been making their own Information System for entertainment. They had to plan their story using a tree diagram to help make different decisions and a storyboard to help the story flow and find appropriate pictures. Once planned, they used Google Slides to create their stories by using pictures, backgrounds, fonts and animations and the links provided to make them interactive and entertaining for an audience. Here is what some of the students have to say about the task:

Mila V - 3AS The activity was to create slides for an information system to entertain an audience. We learnt how to create slides, links, creating a plan, backgrounds, pictures and animations. I enjoyed this activity because I learnt something new, making slides and entertaining an audience. I found this challenging because the animations did not work but I fixed it in the end.   

Xavier G - 3AS The activity was about choosing my own adventure. I went to the beach and zoo with my sister.  I found adding the pictures and backgrounds challenging. I really enjoyed making up the story.

Taylor N - 4HF The activity was to create a story to entertain an audience. I learnt to plan and create a narrative story using google slides. I also learnt how to animate a picture. I enjoyed finding different ways to animate the pictures and I also enjoyed making my slides colourful. I found that the links weren't working and I had to try and fix it.

Seniors - Data Collection and Sorting - Travel Budget Project

The Year 5 and 6 students are currently completing a project on data by gathering, sorting and calculating information.  They used Google Sheets to create a Travel Budget to the continent/s they are currently learning for their Geography Inquiry unit. Here is what some of the students have to say about the project:

Alanna S 5SD  This activity was about learning how to use different functions and formulas to calculate data in Google Sheets. I enjoyed using the formulas because they have saved me a lot of time. I found it challenging to do 5 different places to visit, but I was still able to get my work done. 

Sienna H 6RJ  Throughout these past weeks the Year 6's have been planning a trip to places in Europe and North America. We have been given a budget of $20,000 to plan this trip and have been using Spreadsheets, Google Slides, and Google Maps to present our information. During this activity I most enjoyed collecting information about different places around the world. I particularly found some cell formulas hard to do and paste on my work but I got there in the end.
