Today Team 5 got the opportunity to have a fun day with two different school’s, Glen innes , Glen brae. You may be wondering what we we’re doing, Well keep scrolling to find out more.

The day all started of with a mihi and karake presented by , Skye and Villiami. Then our principal Mr Burt welcomed Glen innes and Glen brae. He started of with a whakapapa. Before we started our genomic fun day we sang a waiata. After we finished singing our waiata we then got instructions from our team leader Mr’s Ilaoa.

Then glen innes and glen brae got split up into our remaining classes. In the instructions we had to get into 4 groups of 6,7 or 8 people. In my group we had a number of 8 people, Maiah , Lilo/Francesca and Candice,Rosie, Leilani, Angel, Calais, And me.

As a group we did different challenges and we also got asked questions and win spot prizes. And these different challenges were quite hard actually. Our group placed 1st with the hp girl’z for questions. By the way our name was Dynamite's.

Over all the genomic fun day turned out to be a success, It’s actually quite surprising. Thanks to all the teacher's for organising this genomics day. This day was well spent.

Cheek DNA test!!

Science cheek DNA test

Have you even seen your cheek DNA before??
Well yesterday room 5 got the opportunity to see our DNA.........

A few days ago we had the opportunity to do an experiment. We scraped the inside of our cheek with a popsicle stick. And we were also able to see what our cheek DNA looked like under a microscope.

The first instruction was to find a pair. My pair was chance (AS A PAIR WE WERE THE BEST) Then we also scraped the DNA on our cheek. Next we put our DNA on a slide. After that we waited a little while. Later on we set up our microscope. Then we went group by group to the microscopes to see our DNA
