Today room 4 were taking a look at cheek cells. We wanted to see what our cheek cells looked like under a microscope. We are trying to see if we can spot some of the organelles we were learning about last term. The equipment we needed was a Popsicle stick, a slide, sodium chloride, and methylene blue (stain). We got into groups of 3 and I was in a group with Ayla and Makayla. One of us had to swab the Popsicle stick gently around the inside of their cheek. My group nominated Ayla to swab the Popsicle stick in her mouth. After she put her dead cells on the Popsicle stick she smeared the cells on the slide. We then put a tiny drop of sodium chloride on the slide where the dead cells were. After that step we put some methylene blue on top of the sodium chloride. We then went to lunch while the slide dried. After lunch we came into class and used the microscopes to see what the dead cells in our cheek look like. Aylas cheek cells just looked like little dots.

What is my favourite things to do at school?
Camps, cross country, athletics and much more fun events that we have at pt england school. In this piece of writing I’ll be telling you my favourite things to do at school and what my favourite events were.
Firstly, The thing I love about school is Morning tea and lunch! Reason being is because after a long morning or afternoon of learning I get to be free and play with my friends. I also love morning tea and lunch because I get to eat and I get to rest.

Secondly after my 8 years at Pt england I think that I really enjoyed Year 6 camp! I think that our year 6 camp was my best memory at pt england by far. Because we got to do different activities and It is the longest camp at pt england. Also we got along together pretty well and everybody was nice to each other.
Lastly, my favourite event that I did at school was fia fia. I loved fia fia especially about performing on the stage but mostly about watching the different cultures perform their dances. I love Fia fia because it is all about culture and where your from. At the start of fia fia I was scared to perform in front of everyone but I got over it and I gave it my all.
So now you know what my favourite thing to do at school and what were my favourite things that we do at pt england school. Year 6 camp and fia fia are only two events out of much more events that we have at pt england, that is why pt england school is very important to me.
