Baby Riam's Christening/Baptismal

Kia Ora! Yesterday, the 20th of December, a baby was baptised in St. Mary's Star of the Sea, our school church. He is a younger sibling to one of the students from the school I attend in, St. Mary's, his name is Riam and he is currently 4 months old.

It was lovely to be there to participate in the mass/baptismal, gathering with friends and family. Though there were only a few, It was great getting to see the baby baptised and being with friends! After a short mass the people who went to the baptismal were welcomed in the family's home to have a meal. There was a ton of food, and there were different varieties of food. Here are a few photos of friends and family in the church after the mass. See you soon and Happy Holidays!

How to say "Merry Christmas" in 5 languages

 Yesterday for CyberSmart we tried to find ways of how to say "Merry Christmas" in 5 languages, using the help of a video. We also had to wrote in what kind of language it was and how it was spelt in that language. We also had the option of using voice search to search how to say "Merry Christmas" in our languages of choice. We voice searched as well questions we could ask google, these voice searching questions will be in the 5th and 6th slides. 

For the GIF we created a Christmas GIF with using our own plan/design, I decided to create a white christmas tree later on having a assorted blinking-like effect, then having a effect with gifts under the tree.

Seeking Help

 Kia Ora! Today for our CyberSmart lesson we were learning about dealing with dangerous/awful situations with trolls or haters, and keeping game fun and friendly, and seeking help. The instructions we learnt on how to handle these situations are :
1 . To ignore trolls or haters
2. Delete, block, or unfollow 
3. Take a screenshot as a clear evidence incase things escalate
4. And most importantly, report these acts that are violating the guidelines/rules.

Next up each of us created a Google Drawing with the steps wrote in a flowchart, with our faces in a picture frame placed in the bottom right corner and our names written in. Here's my one :
