Sniper

In Writing, we learned about this thing called Sniper.  Enjoy

Genomics Fun Day

On a Wednesday morning,

Yr 7's and 8's had this event called, Genomics fun day.  Our grade leader, Mrs Tele'a had told us about that Glenn Brae and Glenn Taylor was coming to our school for a competition on Genomics.  When the two school visited our block, Skye and Villiami did a prayer.

Then the three schools got sorted to groups.  And that is when the fun started.

Doctor Terry and Doctor Yanni, had organise this fun events for the three primary school. The first thing we did was introduce ourselves, and then we did a rival quiz, i think Glenn Taylor did a wonderful job.  And we did a quiz race and that was the best part so far.  And the winners gets a prize from Doctor Terry and Doctor Yanni. 

It was one of my favourite events as a student at Pt. England!!!

Organelles

In Genomics, we learned about the line on which animals and organelles is the smallest to largest.  Enjoy!!!

Myths and Legends/ Tiki's

In Literacy, we learned about Myths and Legends.  And our teacher told us to do another myths, i did
some research about the Tiki's.  Enjoy!

DNA, Chromosomes and Gene

In Genomics today, we learned about three different types of things that is part of our cells which is, DNA, Chromosomes and Gene.  Here is what we did today:

DNA, Chromosomes and Genes are different but in the same part of a cells.   

The cells are part of our bodies.  And also it is so tiny, you have to zoom in if you are using a microscope.

It make a chromosomes, you need to have 23 pairs.  And each of the 23 pairs of chromosomes are

different. If you have 2 genes, it makes a CHROMOSOME because chromosomes equals a book.

 DNA makes up 4 different types of bases in the DNA diagram.  And those bases are: A, G, C, T. 
And DNA is also part of our bodies.  The diagram of the DNA forms a ladder so A, T goes together so does
G and C.   

Gene comes from the DNA, gene means the chapter, and when the 4 bases comes together they form a
word.  And when the words come together, no matter how many, it forms a GENE

Bases turns into Codons.  Codons turns into Genes. Genes turns into Chromosomes. 

Bases:

A,T,G,C

Codon:

Words

GENES:
Chapters

CHROMOSOMES:

The Museum Trip

The Museum Trip

On Friday was a special day because the KPMG sponsored the whole of team 5 to go to the museum. Have you ever been to the museum before.

My First highlight watching the volcano from the past explode in Auckland. My team watched it in a house and once the volcano exploded the house was moving side to side fast as. There were heaps of equipment and instruction to survive.

   

Onions

Monday, 11th

In Genomics, we learned about Onions.  And everyone knows that onions has layers, and then we use the tweezers and we had to peel the skinniest layer that is in the onion.  And then we had to place the onion in the slides, and our teacher, Mrs Stone, had gave us this purple ink to put on top of the slide and then we put it on the microscope.

Me and the group had looked in the scope and then we sketched the experiment in our google docs and what we saw was awesome.  So that is what me, room 4 and 3 did in Genomics today, and I had enjoyed the activity.
