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?
