Being a good Daughter.

What it means to be a good daughter. Are you a good daughter, do you listen to your parents? In this writing I'm going to explain what it means to set a good example for your siblings, listening to your parents, and saying positive things to others. 

Setting a good example for your siblings especially your younger ones.

If you have siblings then you can show what it looks like to be a good daughter and son, and even having fun with them too. But making sure that you show the correct things when they are with you and showing respect to one another.

For example, if they see you doing something wrong they would copy you and keep on doing it until your parents see. Also remembering they would be looking up to you as they grow up and making sure that they do the right things.

Listening to your parents is important because they will be seeing how you go as their daughter and seeing if you listen at school too. 

But you should always listen because you can learn from that and take it along with you as you grow. Also if they tell you to do something, just do it and listen to them even if it’s doing some chores.

Remember to not talking back to them and not having a bad attitude towards them. Remembering that they are your parents not your friends or anybody else and that you show respect and be a good daughter.

Have a good mouth not a cheeky one and say positive things to each other and not a bad one.
Saying nice things is good but mostly at home and at school because if you don’t then you are not being a daughter. When other people say mean things just tell the right way to nice things and make sure you do it to others too.
Thinking that you might get into trouble if saying bad things but also being more kind and remembering not to say things that would hurt other people. Another thing is if other people hear you saying that then they might copy and pass it on to other people.

Hope you take this as a good explanation writing and also making sure that you can use these as good things. So setting a good example for others, listening to your parents, and having a positive mouth will make you a good daughter to your parents.

Task Description: Here is my explanation writing for this week and we are working on these to practice for our writing tests. This writing is about how to be a good daughter and taking these as good example of ho to be one. Hope you enjoy reading my writing and may you have a good day.

The Science Behind De-Extinction

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

The idea of de-extinction is that we can bring back species that are now completely gone. The major flashpoint of interest in what has now led to de-extinction technology happened about 10 years ago when Dolly the sheep was created. In many ways, Dolly was the harbinger of the kind of technology that will permit us to do even more sophisticated kinds of creation of species that used to exist, species that still exist and perhaps even species that never existed. We can group relevant methods into three large categories.There's back-breeding which humans have practiced literally for thousands and thousands of years. This is being done right now in Western Europe, trying to recreate what's known as the aurochs. The way cows look today is not the way the cattle family looked 10,000 years ago. So, if your problem is to recreate one of those primitive cows, what do you do? Well you reach back into the genetic code by selecting for animals that have slightly longer horns or a bigger bulk or the kind of hide coloration that you think is appropriate. It is a very viable and low-tech way of de-extinction. And the investigators trying to do this back-breeding to aurochs have had some success. The animals look quite a bit like old representations that go right back to cave paintings. But what is it really? What it is really is a constellation of traits that you've selected for and you know nothing, really, about how close it is physiologically to an aurochs because there's no way of examining a living aurochs at present. You also don't know about behavior. Behavior tends not to fossilize in any realistic manner and the degree to which any modern cow resembles an aurochs in terms of behavior is a complete unknown. A second method for de-extinction that has improved greatly in the last 10 years is cloning, particularly the kind of cloning known as somatic cell nuclear transfer. You take the genetic material -- the nucleus -- of one cell, you put it into another -- an egg -- and that egg is then placed in an animal that will act as surrogate mother and produce an offspring. There's also been massive improvements in what we can call synthesis. Synthesis involves making up our own sequence, just like in a recipe. If you have two species -- one extinct, one living -- you can get the genetic material of the extinct one and compare that to the living one. Passenger pigeons died out, finally, almost exactly a hundred years ago. Passenger pigeons have several very close relatives among pigeons and one is the band-tailed pigeon, which is very close indeed.  In recent years, scientists have been able to isolate the differences between the genomes of extinct passenger pigeons and living band-tailed pigeons. They've been able to inject these novel sequences into the germ line of developing band-tailed pigeons and using surrogates with the sex cells of passenger pigeons.If you cross breed them one to another, you will in the next generation get something that should look exactly like a passenger pigeon. Now comes the basic question here, which is: What are you going to do with passenger pigeons, assuming that you go ahead and create a whole flock of them? It's been estimated that there were probably more passenger pigeons than any other kind of bird ever. I don't know what we would do with a billion passenger pigeons. We don't like pigeons to begin with in this place. A very important thing to consider about extinctions in general in the course of life on the planet is that the waters close very quickly when a species disappears. What tends to happen is that other species move in. This is how evolution in fact works. The mammoth behind me perfectly illustrates some of the issues that we're going to face with de-extinction. There is no place for several more very large herbivores in a place like the U.S. except under very controlled conditions. Who's going to take care of them? How are you going to provision them? Are we thinking that we're going to bring back the Pleistocene by virtue of having a few extinct species? What we're really talking about is undertaking a whole lot of unplanned experiments, the consequences of which are very hard to predict. We don't want a situation in which we drive out species that are perhaps already endangered thanks to us with something else that we drove to extinction thousands of years ago. De-extinction to the degree it will take place should be limited in its scope, limited in its ambition, limited in the kinds of species that we bring back. But if there was one animal I could vote for to bring back, it would be one of these giant ground sloths. If you want people to be interested in not only what the planet still has and how we might conserve it, but what the planet has recently lost and perhaps most particularly what it's lost because of human activities, then to see these again, to see mammoths again in the flesh would be an exciting prospect. It would raise rather than dampen interest in preserving what we have and what we used to have. Video Link: https://youtu.be/Pkc_WodJxsk

Woolly Mammoth Create Task.

Task Description: For this week is all about de-extinction and this is our create task that we had to do. Once we have finished our independent we had to work on our create task and it had to be about another animal not just the moa bird, so I chose the woolly mammoth. Hope you enjoy reading my Create task and may you have a great day.

CREATE TASK- Understanding Words From The Story.

Information about science-

Task Description: This week Room 1 has been learning about science and scientists. We read this story and it was all about a famous scientist named Richard Owen. These are some of the words from the story that was on the last page of the book, here is some information about each word. Hope you enjoy reading my CREATE TASK, have a good day.

Anatomy- This means a study of structer or workings of something.

DNA- The genetic information inside cells that determines how a living thing will look and function a thigh bone.

Femur-A bone of the thigh, articulating at the hip and the knee.

Marrow- It is a soft fatty substance inside cavities of bones.

Missionary-A person who travels to spread their religious beliefs.

Prehistoric- Is things that were written in the past and happened in the past too.

My Favourite Place - Westcity.

My Favourite Place - Westcity.

Classification - 

Westcity is a place like Sylvia Park but this places it much farther away from Auckland. This place is like a big mall but located all the way out on the west side of New Zealand, and this could take about 30 minutes to go by car. My favourite part about this place is the Cinemas because they are cheaper than all the other cinemas around.

Subheading 1 - The Mall

When you are in the mall it looks very big compared to other malls. But if you need to find a shop and you don’t know where it is, you can ask the reception staff for help. In the mall, the most popular shop are Factory, Whitcoulls, Posties+, Farmers, and much much more. Outside if the mall there are also shops, and there are about 5 or 6 more shops outside. If you walk back to your car the very last shop is a shop that has all kinds of things. In the shop, there are slime, arts and crafts, toys, bouncy balls, and many more. The car park is also big and there is even an upstairs car park for cars that have nowhere to park.

Subheading 2 - The Cinemas 

You arrive from the motorway and into Westcity (Westgate) you could see a nice view of the mall. But then on the left or right side is the Cinemas and it is really huge. The Cinemas open at about 9 or 10 o’clock and most Cinemas open at that time too.  In the Cinemas when you get your ticket and stuff snack the best thing of all is the popcorn and chocolate. Then there is the game room, you can play on the game mansions but you have to pay like always. Right next to the game room is the toilet and then the way to the Cinema to watch the movies.

Subheading 3-The Food Court

The food court in Westcity is the best time to have something to eat because you can choose whatever you want. You can pick whatever you want and I sometimes get sushi or butter chicken. Some food is really expensive compared to other shops but when you eat they are worth it. In the mall, the different foods you can choose from are McDonalds, Sushi, Butter Chicken, Texas Chicken, and many more.

Conclusion -

Have you ever been to Westcity before?
That is some of the information about Westcity and I hope you enjoyed it.  Westcity is a fun place to go to with family or friends. My favourite thing about Westcity is the Cinemas and the food court because they are so much fun to go to.

WALT: Write an informational report on a topic of interest
