My Genome Sequence

Headings/Trigger Words Write down a heading and trigger words to help you retell each paragraph

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.

5 Fun Experiment

Task Description : The is my reading task for this week. There is 5 experiment. 1. Float or sink. 2. Pepper on the run. 3. Dancing oobleck. 4. Rainbow in a jar. 5. Sparkly volcano. We had to watch a video and write what they are going to be doing, and what they needed and seeing if it true or false.

The Tree Of Life

The Tree Of Life 

This is the tree of life. 

We learnt that 1835 Charles Darwin discovered that all living things are connected.

Animals change over millions of years so they can survive.

Things at the bottom of the tree came before the things from the top.  

Persuasive writing.

Task Description: This is my persuasive writing presentation and we had to chose 1 or 5
statements. I chose statement number 1. If you are sick you should stay home from school. what would you do if you wrote this is a persuasive writing.

South America

Today room 4 inquiry are trying Empanada which is from a country called Argentina. It even looks like dumplings. Inside the Empanada, it has a pastry in the outside and it has a filling with mince, capsicum, onion, raisins, sweet paprika spices, and sugar to make it sweet. It tastes sweet but there was a little bit of spiciness. It smells like mince and a little bit spicy. It also feels soft and crumbly. It looks like a mince and cheese pie but with no cheese in it. 

What It’s Like In Europe.

Europe is a continent located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere. It is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the west.

Today we are going to talk about places, animals, food and even the weather in Europe. If you didn't know Europe is the third most populous continent in the world. In Europe, there are 741.4 million people that live in Europe, since 2016.

Know we are going to talk about places, animals, food and the weather in Europe.

Places :

Russia :

Russia, the world’s largest nation, borders European and Asian countries as well as the Pacific and Arctic oceans. Its landscape ranges from tundra and forests to subtropical beaches.

France :

France, in Western Europe, encompasses medieval cities, alpine villages and Mediterranean beaches. Paris, its capital, is famed for its fashion houses, classical art museums including the Louvre and monuments like the Eiffel Tower.

Ireland :

Ireland is an island in the North Atlantic. It is separated from Great Britain to its east by the North Channel, the Irish Sea, and St George's Channel. Ireland is the second-largest island of the British Isles, the third-largest in Europe, and the twentieth-largest on Earth.

Foods :

Wheat flour bread - pasta - dumplings - pastries - potato :

Wheat-flour bread has long been the most common sources of starch in this cuisine, along with pasta, dumplings, and pastries, although the potato has become a major starch plant in the diet of Europeans and their diaspora since the European colonization of the Americas.

Gazpacho :

Gazpacho or Andalusian gazpacho is a cold soup made of raw, blended vegetables. A classic of Spanish cuisine originated in the southern region of Andalusia. Gazpacho is widely eaten in Spain and Portugal, particularly during the hot summers, as it is refreshing and cool.

Goulash :

Goulash is a stew of meat and vegetables usually seasoned with paprika and other spices. Originating from medieval Hungary, goulash is a popular meal predominantly eaten in Central Europe but also in other parts of Europe. It is one of the national dishes of Hungary and a symbol of the country.

Animals :

Pine Marten :

The European pine marten, known most commonly as the pine marten in Anglophone Europe, and less commonly also known as Baum marten, or sweet marten, is an animal native to Northern Europe belonging to the mudslide family, which also includes mink, otter, badger, wolverine, and weasel.

Polecat :

The European polecat – also known as the common ferret, black or forest polecat, or Fitch – is a species of mudslide native to western Eurasia and northern Morocco. It is of a generally dark brown colour, with a pale underbelly and a dark mask across the face.

Latrodectus tredecimguttatus :

Latrodectus tredecimguttatus, also known as the Mediterranean black widow, or the European black widow, is a species in the genus Latrodectus of the widow spiders.

Weather :

The climate of Europe varies from subtropical to polar. The Mediterranean climate of the south is dry and warm. The western and northwestern parts have a mild, generally humid climate, influenced by the North Atlantic Drift.

Conclusion : This is the end of what I have done for Europe. I have done the places, animals, foods and also the weather.

Do you think demons exist? 

 Once upon a time there lived a hungry, blood sucking demon. The demon would always kill people in the night. But one scary night, you could here his loud footsteps coming up to your room growling out loud for your blood. He was wanting to suck your blood just like vampire. He was the most scariest demon that he even looked like a Rhino, a Wolf and a Tiger combined. Every night kids will tell their parents that there is a demon sucking people’s blood. Like lots of blood but what the parents will say is “ look honey there is no demon, they don’t even exist.” They will also laugh and say silly stuff like they were kids. So every night the kids will be very scared of going to sleep. Some kids also think that demon don’t exist but they do. So the kids will get scared when the parents tell them want they looked like. They had sharp teeth just like a wolfs, huge horns just like a Rhino and a terrifying face just like a disgusting hairless cat. So they called it the Bull Demon. They will tell them what they will do every night to every kid in the streets. One of them, Robert said “ that when it comes inside your house he will suck your blood like every single drop until you are flat as a pancake.” then everybody got scared to go to sleep every single night. So until one night the demon came inside a kid’s house and went inside his room he could here his loud footsteps coming to his room, so he waited for it to come inside until the boy started to yell out “ HELP HELP!! Someone inside my room” then the parents came and the demon got scared and ran of out of the window by breaking it and went flying up in the sky. The boy was safe and slept inside his mum’s and dad’s room the whole week. So make sure to lock your doors and windows and say your pray every night, BE CAREFUL!!. 

 Want will you do if you believed in demons? Also want would you do if a demon come into your house?
