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.

And in the bottom left a 2021 goal for myself and a photo of ourselves in the bottom right. 

We also did these goal reflections last term and other terms awhile back, though looking back at it I had different highlights and goals.. Here's my Term 4 Goal Reflection :

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 :

What is Media?

 For our CyberSmart lesson we were learning about what media is, and what are a few examples you could think of after watching a information video about media itself and what it appears to be in the real world.
Some examples of media are; newspapers, radio, adverts, television, film and cinema etc.

 For our task we had to find/take a photo of ourselves and use the "Remove Background" site (Link : https://www.remove.bg/) and replace the original background with a suitable background photo with our portrait to make it look like we are out of school. This can be also be kinda like an example for fake photoshopped photos that people post in socials to frame/or manipulate people into thinking a photo or video is real

Here's mine (very end of slides presentation) :

My Kapa Haka Diamante Poem

For our writing subject we are focusing on exploring "Using Different Language Features" using verbs (doing words), adjectives (words describing nouns), and lastly, nouns (words that name places, people etc.) For this we created a draft of a "Diamante Poem" on paper, after we opened a slide and wrote in words we could think of for our theme "Kapa Haka Festival" 

Using google photos folder, we chose a Kapa Haka photo of our choice. 

Here's mine :

My Japanese Art Remake

For my class' CyberSmart learning we started our "Summer Learning Journey". For this year we had a art task, this includes choosing a famous landscape/place or a famous art (Link: https://artsandculture.google.com/experiment/art-coloring-book/1QGsh6vSfAQBgQ?hl=en) . For my desicion I chose the art with the name "Woman combing her hair". This art was made by Gо̄yo Hashiguchi, born in December the 21st 1880, died in February the 24th 1921. He designed 14 woodblock prints and is from Kagoshima, Japan. 

For this task we had to choose a famous art/landscape and recreate the colours using our own style, here's mine at the top while the original art is in the bottom

My Google Drawing Māori Glossary

 Today for reading my class was creating a Māori Glossary using the words from a Kahoot individual quiz we did earlier, I learnt lots of new Māori words like the word "Aihikirīmi" meant "Ice Cream". To create the glossary we needed 5-8 words in Māori that we could recall from the 2 quizzes we did, then type it in English translation.

The part I liked the most was customizing everything in the google drawing, The google drawing was pretty bland but next time I would make it more colourful and bright. Even though I only had five words I could probably add more next time.

The Cats VS Dogs Debate!

 Today for Reading, my reading group was learning about "Applying our prior knowledge and opinions to a text". This also connects to what my class has been learning about, "Persuasive Writing" applying our opinions will help us very well with our writing. As you can see here in the slide I have added 3 reasons why Cats are better than Dogs and why it is better than the opposing one. 

I had a lot of inspiration and fun customising and writing in this slide, I didn't find anything much hard while creating the slide.

My Excellent Blog Exploration!

Today for Cybersmart, my class was exploring on different blogs from different schools and recording it in a slide diagram where we record their Year level, School, Information from their "About me" profile. We also recorded their pageviews, numbers of countries that visitors were from, and lastly their posts from last year, 2019. We also did the similar thing for our own blogs. 

Next we read from these blogs and listed anything we could include in our blogs, we did also list how we could get more people to visit our blog page. 

I did find some things tricky while listing information, but it was mostly fun since I got to know more about these students and about their hobbies and their favourite sports and food.

My Before & After | Improving My Blog Posts

 Today my class has been learning about a "Quality Blogpost" and how we can edit, extend, and reflect more of our learning. My post includes information and ideas that demonstrate my understanding about quality blogposts, I created a google drawing to show my ideas about my learning for today.

A "Quality Blogpost" is a post that reflects on your learning & what your learning is about, a quality blog post also has correct punctuation and capitals.

Kawa Of Care

 Last week our class were discussing about how you take care of your chromebook and what damages it.  We used google slides to create our "Kawa of care" presentation.

Kawa of care is about an agreement to protect and respect our chromebooks, it also means that we are a Cybersmart class and we will only use websites for learning and use the language of learning.


To make this presentation I used photos that is non-copyright and safe to use, I typed in the speech bubbles important things you should do.

What I Learned About Energy

My class was learnt all about electricity, how it works, and how it is processed. We discussed about electricity and how it goes into our homes, We had a look in this lesson about how electricity is created. 

I created a google slide explaining what energy is, I also explained bout global warming and non- renewable/renewable energy and what it contains. 

When I was designing the slides I had to think about the colour and fonts I would use for this slide.

About Me Sidebar Image

Today I was learning about how to be safe online and how online accounts are like permanent footprints.

I enjoyed making my sidebar image.

I didn't find anything challenging for this task

My digital learning object shows I can replace images, use the camera app, change text and backgrounds and embed my DLO in my blog.

Next time I would change the picture since it looks pixelated and blurry
