" Genomics Fun Day "

WALT -  Write about how Glenbrae & Glenn Innes came to Pt England school

So today we had a Genomics fun day. It is when the year 7 & 8s from Glenbrae and Glenn Innes come to our school. After we went in our home classes and finished our roll, our teacher sorted us into for groups of four or five, I had Christina, Daliz, jordan, Reece and Pifeleti . When the time hit 9:30Am Glenbrae & Glenn Innes came to our school and we had to meet in the street. We sang a few waiata's, said a karakia and mihi then we started off with putting some of the students from Glenbrae and Glenn Innes into the groups that our teachers started. Then we had a meet and greet with the other schools, and what inspired us about genomics. After that, we had to go to the street to play a game containing spot prizes the judges Jannie and Thierry ( Te - rry ) asked the questions and they get a prize if the answer was right. It was time for morning tea break but the seniors had to keep on going with the Genomics thing. We had one minute to think of a name for our groups and my groups name was chocolate biscuits. Other teams in our class were running to the judges to say their group name then they get a paper with eight questions on it and we have to answer all eight then take sheet of paper to Jannie and she will give another sheet of paper to write the answers in. After that we had to meet in the street so The judges could announce a winner, but their was a tie between two groups which was Dynamite and Hp Girls. We said our goodbyes and they set off back to their school.
