Number 28
It was a normal sunny day. The birds were tweeting and people talking loudly. It’s my birthday today and I don’t know what to do. So instead I called my friend Paige to come celebrate my birthday with me. “She said okay I will be there at 1:00pm.” So I got out of bed and went to the kitchen to go make me some breakfast. Then help mum and dad clean the house up. Then I got ready for the day and waited for her to come. Time went past. It was 12:00 and going on 1:00. I was so sad. She wasn't going to come. So I decided to celebrate it by myself. With a red velvet cupcake with vanilla frosting and a candle on top. Then I made a wish. I wish there was a big giant robot in our city. It was the next day. Bird tweeting and people talking loudly. I could hear big stops and the ground was shaking. OMG. there is a big giant robot. To be continued…..

Be responsible
The price of greatness is responsibility.
Being responsible is looking after or caring for your own family or someone else. Be responsible to your friends and peers. Look after each other. Are you responsible ?
Being responsible by looking after your family.
Being responsible is looking after your little siblings or doing something for you family, like be responsible by helping your mum with dinner and the dishes. Even be responsible for doing something when you are told to do it.
Being responsible by doing something.
When you are told to do something, make sure you do it straight away. Don’t let your parents or your other siblings do it. If your the one responsible to do something, do it. Having an obligation to do something.
Why it’s good to be responsible.
When you do what you have promised, people see you as a responsible and reliable person. A responsible person is one who can be trusted to act without needing strict supervision, because they are accountable for their own behavior.
Now we come to the end. What does responsible mean? Responsible is having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone. What would you do if your responsible to do something.

Our bodies are exceptionally clever. Even when we’re asleep, they’re doing all sorts of extraordinary things, like mending themselves. These things don’t happen by magic.
Deep inside our cells is a chemical called DNA. DNA acts like an instruction manual, controlling how our body works. These instructions are made up of four chemical letters that we call A, G, T and C. These repeat 6 billion times. That’s enough letters to take a whopping 57 years to read out aloud.
The complete set that makes you the unique and brilliant individual you are, is called your ‘Genome Sequence’. Around 99% of our sequences are the same. It’s the 1% that makes us all different, deciding everything from our height to our hair colour.
DNA is a bit like the computer code used to give robots instructions. Sometimes a glitch in the code, like a spelling mistake, will create individual differences. Most of the time this isn’t a problem. Sometimes it can even be an advantage. But if a glitch makes the instructions confusing, the robot might not be able to do things as it should. It’s the same with our DNA. Everyone has glitches, but some of us have glitches that cause health problems, because our body isn’t getting the right instructions. For instance, having a glitch in the DNA for your muscles might make you less strong. The only way to find that glitch, is to look closely at your genome sequence.
Genome sequencing is an exciting new technology. By taking a blood sample, scientists can remove the DNA and read your sequence using a high-powered machine. The scientists will compare your sequence to thousands of other peoples’, to find the glitch. They might even compare it to your close relatives, like your Mum and Dad.
Working out exactly where your genome is different, can help doctors to diagnose the cause of your condition and decide on the best treatment. It’s still a very new technology so the more people have their genome sequences read and compared, the more we can learn about DNA and the more answers we can find in the future.
