Microscope Experience

This is what we did in week 6 which is when Thiery came for the second time and while some students saw the things the other students had to write about what they have already learnt.

Cloning and De -extinction

 DNA is the building block of all life, if you unravel a human DNA it can reach to the sun and back 300 times and human 100 trillion chromosomes and 23 sets of sells, 23 from the mum and 23 from the dad which altogether is 46 sells.


What is cloning?

Cloning is when you take DNA from a living thing and make an embryo and implant the embryo into a surrogate mother and it makes a baby. because  they want to find out if they can make more animals and try and play God just to see if it would work. They can use this technology to save threatened or endangered animals. There are some animals that have been cloned like a sheep called Dolly and she was born in 1996 in scotland and died in 2003 and it lived for 6.5 years and OX that has lived for only 2 weeks there is also a Goat that was in China and a horse that was born in 2003. 


What is de-extinction?

De-extinction is when you bring an animal that is already dead back to life. Some bad reasons to bring a dead animal back to life is because it is way to expensive because if you pay for it and waste all your money and the de-extinction doesn’t work then you wasted all your money for no reason and also people should start to think about saving the animals that are threatened and almost dying then trying to save an animal that is already dead.


CAUSE AND EFFECT

This is cause and effect where we had to read a text and say what caused the bad thing to happen and what effected them at the end of it.

ATHLETICS

 


 Last Friday on week 5 Tamaki primary had their athletics, The houses were Tripoli(Blue), Tobruk(Red), Benghazi(Green and Alamaine(Yellow). The first thing we did we did was there was some students that had to help set the gazebos for all four houses and the seniors from each house had to decorate their own gazebo and then while some seniors did the decorations some other seniors had to help the juniors with their face paint. When the bell rang everyone had to go to class and teachers had to write on everyone's hand what their age was because that is what we were doing our races/events in. Then everyone had to sit on the dots but with their house and the principle had a talk with us before we started the day. After the talk one house at a time had to walk around the track singing their chants and then sit underneath their gazebo quietly waiting for the teachers. Once everyone sat down the principle told Alamaine to stand in front of the other houses and sing their chants, next up was Benghazi and Tripoli and finally Tobruk then after the chants the principle chose which house had the best chant and which house was the best dressed which was Benghazi and Tobruk, after the chants was the field events the field events were Shot put, Standing jump, Discus, Long jump and High jump, that was the order of the 12/13 year old students.
