Finger print characters Rm 9 Buddy time

Kia ora!  We had a blast on Tuesday creating all of these little finger print characters with our buddy class.  Aren't they super cute?  I used an app called "Adobe Spark" to create the movie.  It had some cool features to it... you might like to download it and try it out?

Anyways... Check it out!

We were inspired by Dude Perfect and the recent bottle flipping phenomenon.

 

We decided to create our own video with our Russell St School trick shots. Check out our video. We would love to get 500 hits by the end of the year.
