So in cyber smart I will be doing a Google Search Challenge. First off, I have a question to answer and I will have to answer it with some information off google.
Q - If you stacked $20 dollar bills until you reach $1 million, would the stack be higher than the rim of a basketball hoop?
The height of a rim basketball hoop is 18 inches which is about 46 cm.
The height of a single $20 bill is 0.0043 inches thick.
You will need 500 $20 dollar bills to get to 10,000.
So, 500 x 0.0043 is 2.15 inches.
$1 million dollars in $20 bills is: 2.15 inches thick, 5.461 cm and 56.41 millimetres thick.
Shorter or Taller: Taller
A - Yes, the stack would be higher than the rim of a basketball hoop.

Maths - Pocket Money Chart!
For maths today, we had to work in pairs for an activity. I chose Trisha for this activity. So for this activity, it's about a girl named Shelley and a the start of the year, her parents offer her 2 options for her weekly pocket money. Once she had made up her mind, she must stick with the option she chooses for the next 12 months.
Option 1 ~ You can have $5 every week for a year.
Option 2 ~ Or each week you can roll the money dice and take whatever comes up.
Shelley was waffling on both of the options so, Trisha and I did an experiment to help her pick the right option for the year. Here is our results:
Option 1 ~ You can have $5 every week for a year.
Option 2 ~ Or each week you can roll the money dice and take whatever comes up.
Shelley was waffling on both of the options so, Trisha and I did an experiment to help her pick the right option for the year. Here is our results:

Persuasive Writing.
Cats and Dogs are the most animals that are used for a pet. But are cats really better pets then dogs? I disagree. Dogs are 100% better pets then cats. Why? Let me tell you why!
Dogs are very playful and like to do outside activities with you. Unlike cats, cats are lazy and like to sleep on most sunny days. You may be thinking that having a cat as a pet won't be a fuss at all. Think again! Cats are very bossy and they can get you into a heap of trouble, by scratching all the furniture in the living room. As for dogs, they are very friendly and easy to be around with.
Dogs can be really good pets, especially when you need someone to cheer you up or if you are in need of help. For example, drowning in the pool. You should already know that cats hate getting wet, but dogs care more about their owner then getting wet or cold. Who knew dogs could be like an actual human or a great pet to have!
Speaking of a great pet,

Maths - Probability!
Hello, today I will be sharing with you some maths that I have been doing this week. My group was working on probability in maths. Probability is about the chance of something happening or not happening.
My LO this week was, we can complete a mathematical investigation.
The steps I had to take was commitment, resilience and achievement. I had to commit to my work and give it my all. I had to never give up on myself and have a growth mindset and I had to achieve my work to a year 8 quality standard.
One of the experiments I have done was to draw a chart on my maths book and roll a dice 18 times. Then, I had to write down the number that was on the dice in the chart.
1 - 1
2 - 4
3 - 3
4 - 3
5 - 3
6 - 2
7 - 3
8 - 3
9 - 6
10 - 2
11 - 5
12 - 1
13 - 3
14 - 5
15 - 5
16 - 5
17 - 2
18 - 4
After that, I had to draw a tally chart in my maths book and to complete the tally chart I had to tally up how many times did each number get when it was rolled on the dice. I also had to put down the total of each number.
1 - // - 2
2 - /// - 3
3 -//// / - 6
4 - // - 2
5 - //// - 4
6 - / - 1
The evidence shows that, the most rolled number was 3. The least rolled number was 6. 6 was rolled once. The most rolled number to the least rolled number was: 3, 5, 2, 1, 4, 6.
If I have done the experiment again I probably wouldn't get the same results then I did on this one. Why I think that is because, there are 6 numbers on the dice so whenever you roll it would come up with a random number then the same numbers that it had on this one.
I hope you liked my blog post and I also hope you have learned something today!

Narrative Fairy tale - The Three Little Fairies.
This term in writing we have been focusing on narrative writing. This week, 8Bh is rewriting a fairy tale in there own way. My one is called, The Three Little Fairies. This fairy tale is based on The Three Little Pigs. Here is what I have done so far.
Hello fellow believers, welcome to the magical side of your childhood. Once upon a time,
there were three little fairies named Peace, Claire and Violet. These fairies were all sisters
and they were very special. The three magical fairies all lived in a clock tower in London
with their mother. Once the fairies get older, they would have to move on with their lives in
another place.

and they were very special. The three magical fairies all lived in a clock tower in London

The time finally arrived for the three fairies. “Be safe on your journey girls, I will always love you
all from the bottom of my heart”, said the mother. The girls were in tears of joy. They hugged
their mother and left the clock tower. After a long journey, the girls found a beautiful garden. They
landed safely in the garden and rested their wings for the night. After a couple of weeks, the fairies
had their own dome to live in. Violet’s dome was made out of violet flowers. Claire’s dome was
made out of bright green leafs and Peace’s dome was made out of colourful pebble stones.
One day, the girls went around the garden to find some fruit for them to eat. While Peace and
Violet was waiting for Claire, Claire made a rough landing in front of them! “Claire, are you alright?”,
said Violet. “No, we are all in danger! A crusher fairy was following me!”, shouted Claire.
“Shh! He’ll hear you!”, said Peace. A crusher fairy is very dangerous. They crush whatever they can
find which makes them more powerful than ever!

Mr. Chelsea's Greenhouse - Chapter 4 Reflection!
If you are confused about the title of this post, I am currently reading a chapter book called Mr. Chelsea's Greenhouse. At the moment I just finished chapter 4 and I will be retelling you what happened in chapter 4 in my own words. Long story short, Eva lives next to an old man named Mr. Chelsea. Eva accidentally made a hole through Mr. Chelsea's greenhouse glass roof. Now she is up for the consequences.
Chapter 4, Eva heads to Mr. Chelsea's green house. She walks through his backyard. It was such a beautiful sight to see. She enters the greenhouse. Mr. Chelsea did not seem too mad to see her. He hands over a broom to her and tells her to sweep the glass pieces in the corner of the greenhouse. Mr. Chelsea starts to talk to her a bit. Then, he asked her to follow him across the greenhouse. They got along just fine. He talked about the rose that was named after Eva's grandfather, Rosa Everingham. Surprisingly, he told her that there is a rose named after her, Rosa Evangelina. After having a good time with Mr. Chelsea and knowing a bit of the history of his roses, Eva headed home for lunch. She told her father everything about her day with Mr. Chelsea. Eva thought differently about Mr. Chelsea and he is the cleverest man shes ever known. The father knew she would like him since the accident.
Hope you liked this blog post! Till the next chapter!
