Cybersmart Challenge For Making Reply Comments
Today I did the cybersmart challenge for making comments and replying back to them because I needed to do a blog. For the slides, I had to put an arrow to sentences that were a greeting, a positive sentence, a helpful sentence, a thoughtful sentence and more.
It’s not hard but it’s also not easy because you need to read it again and it takes some time but it’s possible. After that, I had to make a comment to someone. The comment I did to is to Eldrich, one of my best friends.
Road To Paris
Today we finally finished our goal to reach Paris, so we had to blog about it. I also wanted to blog, “What is the road to Paris? Why did we do the road to Paris?” and more. Road to Paris is a site where we could compete to reach the goal. You can compete with other schools and classes, including people.
To reach the goal, you need to do exercise like running, including sports. If you find trouble trying to convert, there is a link to find how much kilometres you did. The goal is to reach 1507 km. The reason why we did it is because we needed exercise and we wanted to also train like the athletes.
There are also milestones which give you information about it and how some of the milestones have athletes can congratulate you for reaching the milestone. The time we started it is on Term 2, week 2.
We started in Marseille and ended in Paris.
What I Did In Matariki
Last Friday, my family and I went to Auckland city because my mother bought 2 tickets for my sister and I to ice skate. When we parked our car, walked and arrived at Paradice Ice Skating, it was already one o’clock pm. So we waited in line for 5 minutes then my mother showed her QR code so we could get our skates.
After we got our skates, we hurried along to try our skates. At first, it felt kind of wonky since I forgot to ice skate. After 10 or 15 minutes, I got the hang of it. I tried to spin like my sister did, but I almost fell so I just focused on speed skating. After a while, I felt bored so I kept on trying to spin until I also got the hang of it.
After skating, we went out and walked around the city, looking to try out new food and stores. We also found a 3 storey building that was closing down so we went inside and explored the first floor which had clothes and makeup. Unfortunately, I’m not patient so I kept on complaining to my mother since it’s only for girls.
Then we went to the second floor which also had clothes and more girl things including jewellery if I remember correctly. Then we went to the third floor which had decorations and ornaments.
It also had expensive wine and champagne, like gucci champagne and wine. Fun fact, they served gucci champagne when people entered to shop around. Lastly, there’s special chocolate and sweets like mixed fudge. (which is vanilla fudge, chocolate fudge and russian fudge) and more. Since the store is closing down, we bought the chocolate fudge for eleven dollars if my memory serves me right. Then, we left and continued walking until we were getting hungry.
We then proceeded to a pizzeria and got a 40 cm pizza (I forgot how much it cost). It is one of the cheesiest and most delicious pizzas I have eaten in a long time which filled me up a quarter but remember that we were just getting started and we just wanted to taste it.
While we were eating, we also ate the mixed fudge but I looked at the ingredients and it had so much sugar so we only ate one! We also looked at an ice cream and waffle shop because it’s next to the pizzeria. Unfortunately, we’re only tasting not eating like it’s dinner, so we ordered one waffle with ice cream (I forgot the flavour) and cinnamon.
The waffle is really crunchy and a little soft. The ice cream is creamy like any normal ice cream but it’s a little more special because of the sweet cinnamon. We all took bites but my sister and I ate most of the waffles because I think that it is too sweet for them.
Now I was either one half full or even three quarters full so we walked for some time, looking around shops. We were also craving for more sugary foods so my mother bought four donuts. Two of them were oreo donuts and the other two were caramel. My sister and I got the oreo donuts since my mother and father don’t like them so they got the caramel. When I first bit in the donut, I thought that its a normal donut with just toppings, but when I took a bite again, I realised that it has an oreo cream filling and it is one of the most unhealthiest donuts I’ve had so I gave a little bit to my mother and father.
I was so full that I tried walking but it was hard, so we explored more and walked more until we found a bakery so my mother bought a matcha bread with small mochi in it and a dirty chocolate bread with cream in it if I didn’t forget.
Since I was so full, I didn’t eat anything until my sister told me that there is mochi inside of the matcha bread so I ate some. I also ate some dirty chocolate bread so I knew what it tasted like.
Since I rested while eating, I had some appetite and because we looked at a chicken restaurant, we went there and ordered 2 crispy drum and 2 wings, with a little bit of spicy bulgogi which is a sweet sauce. When I tasted it, it was spicy but not too much.
Sadly, there’s only more crispy skin than the meat. At Least the skin isn’t flabby! After we finished eating, washing our hands, we waited 20 or 30 minutes for my dad to write a message to his work mate or something. I think I might’ve made my dad angry since I kept on complaining until he told me to stop.
After he finished his message we walked around and I thought that we’re going back home but remember that we’re just exploring so sadly we went to Nando’s Chicken for dinner. When we sat down, we ordered one full grilled chicken, 4 large thick rippable pitas, spicy rice (which isn’t spicy),4 extra small pitas and hummus with a free hot sauce for it. When we got our food, my sister complained that she wanted fries instead of spicy rice but my mothers explained that we’re eating dinner so no more exploring since we’ve eaten at Nando’s two or three times.
The chicken tasted so fresh and tender, even the breasts of the chicken which is normally dry were tender! The pitas tasted a little bit fresh even though I think I saw them microwaving them but they tasted a lot more fresh with hummus. The hummus had a light taste but with the free hot sauce, it had a good kick! The spicy rice wasn’t that spicy but my sister said that it was spicy. I think her spice tolerance is low since she doesn’t try spice that much. Usually, we’re hungry if we don’t eat anything, but my sister and I ate so much that we had to get boxes for our food to take home.
In the end, we walked on our way back to our car and put all our things, including the mixed fudge into the trunk of the car and went on the motorway back home. I’ve had the best time here in Auckland even though I complained sometimes but I wish I could do it again in Auckland city with my family.
Facts About Hayden Wilde
Today I wanted to do facts about Hayden Wilde because we were looking into athletes that are going to Paris for the 2024 Olympic Games. Here are some facts about Hayden Wilde because he is competing for New Zealand:
Hayden Wilde competes with the men’s triathlon / he is a triathlete. A triathlon means to do 3 sports without stopping, and those sports are running, swimming, and cycling.
Hayden Wilde has 2 brothers, a step Dad, and Mum. Sadly, I couldn’t find their names. Hayden Wilde is 1.75m tall / 175cm but if you round them up, Hayden Wilde is 1.8m / 180cm.

Cybersmart Challenge: New Zealand Sign Language
This week, it’s New Zealand sign language for deaf people. So I did a new cybersmart challenge which is to learn New Zealand sign language. I first had to look at videos that show movements like to create something. It took a while to understand but I got the hang of it.
Then, I had to finger spell my name. Here is the finger spelling alphabet:
These are the finger spells for my name:
After that, we had to record our name. This is me saying hello and what’s my name:

Cybersmart Challenge
Today I needed to do a blog because we have to post a blog every week. So I went into the Cybersmart Challenges and I found a challenge called; ‘Using Your Webcam’. So I started and I first watched a video since I was using 3×3 grid. It’s called; ‘Rule Of Thirds’, where you have to make the thing or item you want to picture and you need to make it on the left, right, above, or below the middle square. Here are some photos I tried to do;
I also learned how to make a ‘GIF’ by going to your camera, then, you press ‘video’ and then ‘GIF’. After that, you have to move or do something. This is the emoji I did a GIF about:
Press this link because it won’t work here so I did it in a slide:
My Times Tables Diploma
Today I got all of my time table medals and a large diploma. You could get it in a week or two if you did it everyday and you had breaks, unless you had a whole day, doing your time tables none-stop.
Saint Patrick’s Day
Last week, on Friday the 15th of March, we went to Mass and sang since my school is religious and it’s about the saint of my school, Saint Patrick. When we finished Mass, we walked back and got our chromebooks. After we got our chromebooks, we went into a doc that Mr Bell shared with us in GMail. The things inside of the doc are the links that we could play around with.
Fun Fact! The feast day of Saint Patrick is actually on March the 17th, on Sunday, but we celebrate on March the 15th because we have mass on Friday. I first started on the top left link. The activity I did was to listen to the life and facts about Saint Patrick. In times where you are listening, it will ask you questions, for example, what did the pirates that kidnapped Patrick believed in? They actually believed in paganism.
I listened more and answered, getting them right. After finishing the video, it showed me the score I got, which is a score of 100 percent, which made me surprised because in the classroom, it was really loud, from talking and playing the video loud, After closing the tab, I went back to the doc and chose the link for coding, and one of the things I’d like to learn, is coding! So I pressed the link and I first played a game where you have to go through a short and reach the picture of Saint Patrick and his Shamrock.
Pretty easy if you ask me. When I reached there, I thought that there was a surprise waiting for me, so I did it again until there were actually no surprises. So I watched the tutorial on how to code, then I went to where you can code, and started playing with codes. My idea is to make a game where you have to bounce the ball onto a small platform, then you have to glide into the air until you see a platform. Sounds easy, right? Well no it’s not easy. The first problem is, how do you make the ball jump? Sure, there is a command for the ball when it’s near the edge of the platform. This is where the second problem begins.
How do I make a platform and how do you use it? After I tried figuring the problems out, the bell rang and I was really excited, until Mr Bell said that there were no activities and it would be postponed to the 18th of March because of how wet and rainy it is.
MONDAY 18/3/24 8:45
This Monday, it’s finally the time to do the activities for Saint Patrick’s day! So my classmates and I went back to class and waited for Mr Bell to mark us in the roll. The time Mr Bell finished marking us in the roll, we lined up, single filed, ready to walk out of the class. So we walked out of class and sat down in 1 row, in front of room 8. Then, room 6, the class that started assembly, said a bunch of greetings then started the sign of the cross, after that, they said 2 prayers about the event and another one about Jesus.
Then, they prayed the 5 prayers of the faithful. After that, Mrs Agnew did a shoutout to me because I was the one who mostly prepared the prayer table. It made me feel stage fright because I thought that everyone looked at me. Meanwhile I was thinking, Mrs Agnew called the people that got certificates, but sadly, I didn’t get one. After the people got their certificates, we walked back to class and continued with the doc Mr Bell shared us with. The doc is actually called the Saint Patrick’s Taskboard.
When the bell rang, I filled my bottle, got food, and changed into my P.E clothes. Then, we played with a football or tennis ball until the bell rang. Then, we sat, single filed, in class groups. After that, Mrs Bullot split us into 10 groups. There are so many things I did this Monday, I did 4 activities with the teachers, Ms Kyle, Mr Bell, Mrs Agnew and Mr Carol. I reached 3rd place and ate ice blocks. I would write more but it would be too long!
