What it means to be a role model

What it means to be a good role model. Are you a good role model, do you show support, encourage & show respect to other people? In this explanation writing I am going to be explaining the reasons of what a good role model is & how a good role model sounds and acts.

Good role models are the types of people who encourage, motivate and respect other people. Good role models encourage others to never ever give up, they motivate people to strive and succeed, respect their peers and treat others the way they want to be treated. For example one of my role models is my mama. My mama has always encouraged and motivated me throughout my life at school. My mama has always encouraged me and told me that I should never give up with the things I do and achieve.

To me being a good role model is someone who is positive all the way, confident with all things in life and someone who is bubbly and funny. Role models are people who are positive, being positive is a big thing in being a role model. Being a role model you have to be confident and face the challenges in life. You may not always be happy with the things you do but it’s best to be positive all the time. My mother is another role model of mine because she is very confident with the things she does, she is positive most of the time and always shows happiness towards others.

A role model is someone who is hard-working, mature and self-talkative. Most of my role models are very hard-working and powerful women. They are very strong and mature and have  believed in themselves all the way. My last two role models would have to be my teachers Mrs Ilaoa and Mrs Sio. The reasons why they are my two role models are because they are very hard-working. They work hard, never give up and always try to teach us new things at school. Our class can be a handful or more sometimes but my two role model teachers are always strong and push us until we succeed.

So now that you’ve read my story about “Role Models” are you strong, powerful and motivational enough to be a good role model? Everyone has the strength to be a role model. So use your strength and become a better role model then you already are!

Efelata and Shania My Genome Sequence


My Genome Sequence
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. 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.



MY NOTES :

  • It's one percent .
  • Our sequences are all the same
  • They could repeat 6 billion times.
  • Some kids could have the same (DNA) as their relatives.
  • Some time it could be an advantage.
  • Everyone has a glitch to them.
  • Genome sequencing is an exciting technology
  • Scientist could remove some people (DNA) because they could have a glitch in them.
  • Sometimes it can even be an advantage.
  • Condition and decide
  • They use chemicals for (DNA).



This is what my Literacy class room 1 did for our reading and writing.

Efe-lata About Me Writing 2018

Hi my name is Efe-lata  and I am a year 6 at pt england school.I have 3 teachers in rooms 6, 7 and  8 and their names are Miss Parrant,Miss Szymanik and Mr Goodwin. I enjoy spending time with my siblings and parents whenever we go to the beach we take cards and games. Also I enjoy  helping my parents with whatever they need. My favorite colour is blue. I used to play netball and we only lost 3 games and but we won 7 games well at least we all tried our best. I also  love camping well only with my church and I will be going next week on friday but I will also be staying for assembly then me and my family will be going to camp.This year my goal is to listen very hard to the teachers instructions.And help others if they are stuck on any activities

Learning how a bike works




















A bike is something that has two wheels one handle, and a frame,it also has a chain that is kind of a part of the bike it controls the bike.Also a bike has a special thing  that holds up the wheels and it is called a spoke .It holds up the wheels so that you can get to other places faster.Also  bikes are even  better than walking because when you walk it takes people for ever and ever.
