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…..

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.

School Hour Persuasive

Introduction:

What does persuasive mean? Well today I’m going to be showing you what persuasive means. Today we are writing about ( School Hours Persuasive ) 

( School hours should be long or short ) Some schools start school earlier and end school late but how many hours do they get everyday at school for learning. 

Statement :

We should start school early. Same school in different countries all around the world should start whenever just like point England school. What time do you start school?

Explanation :

Have more time to learn :

If we don’t learn you would not get good grades and a good education. If you do learn you not be able to read or write.

We need to go to school so we could spell words, read words and say words.

Have more time with friends and peers :

Everyone could learn each other's names.  Maybe you could play with them and get to know them better. You  can cooperate with each other.

Get help from the teacher when you can’t work a problem out.

You need help from a teacher or else you won’t get your work done and properly. You need to cooperate with your teacher. You need a teacher to you with your work.

Conclusion : 

Trying to find out what the word persuasive means?

This is my school hours persuasive writing. When do you start school early or late. I think everyone should go to sleep early or late. What does persuasive mean to you?

Task description : This is our writing about ( School Hours Persuasive ) for this week. We had to write a persuasive writing about our school hours. We should  start school late and finish early or whether school should start early and finish late. But what does the word Persuasive actually mean?

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.
