Matariki GIF making animation

For the last few weeks room 8 has been learning about making animations.
To begin with we looked at the planning on our class site with Whaea Debb.
To start with we went on Google Slides on our iPads. We practiced changing our backgrounds and we practiced using the Shape Tool. We also tried resizing our shapes.
Then we talked about our Topic of Matariki and we decided to make an animation about what we have learned.
Next we made shiny stars, and coloured them using the gradient colours.
Then we copied (duplicated) the slide and made little changes. We then repeated that step about 5 times.
After that we then uploaded them to the website Talltweets, where it turns them in to GIF animations.

What we liked most about making animations was colouring them, making them move, making the shapes, resizing the shapes, and copying them.
What we found most challenging was resizing the shapes because we thought we could use the pincer movement but that didn't work for slides. We had to tap on the shape and drag the corners instead.

For next time we would like to try other animations about different topics.
