Kordell's cloning

 Cloning and de-extinction, cloning is when you print the same exact thing as what you're copying, de-extinction is when you're trying to copy something that is already dead.

I agree with cloning because it could help take away all the young years and you could be an adult straight away. You can also copy cows and other meat to make sure they are all the same meat wise, more milk production, more lean meat or more fattier. With cloning you also can make two of you so you can do all your jobs in half the time. If you clone also you will never run out of meat and you will have more fur to use for clothes. De-extinction will be cool too because then I could see a real dinosaur in real life not just in books or movies. Also if you do bring dinosaurs back to life you people might start hunting them again and make them extinct again or they could try to use them to kill their enemies. 

The reasons why I wouldn’t agree with cloning and de-extinction is because it might stuff up our ecosystem, meaning that we do not know how the species will act or behave if they are brought back. The animals will either kill everything else or might get killed by other predators. Also the cost to actually attempt to clone something would be really expensive and there is no guarantee that it will work. Also a lot of people are against trying to clone versus actually trying to protect the species that are still alive. 

Cloning has always happened naturally with identical twins when an embryo splits into two or more. This is not the case with normal twins as the process is different.

Kordells athletics

 Last Friday there was athletics there was Benghazi, Alamein,Tripoli and Tobruk. These are the four houses of our school and they are named after the streets surrounding the school. I am in Benghazi, and we had shot putt, high jump, long jump and discus. I came 1st at long jump and discus and came 3rd in high jump. My favourite one was discus because I have a really good arm and technique for it. This year I finally figured out how to get my timing right for taking off on long jump and that's why I did really good. In high jump I surprised myself because last year I didn't even attempt it because I was too short.

Morning tea time I went to the shop with Havea, Chance and Mr J. I bought a drink for Havea and I and a pie to give me energy. When Morning tea was finished we had races, I only did two races which were the 75m and the 100m. I came fourth in the 75m race  because it was a shorter distance and came second to last in the 100m because it was too long and my legs were already tired from the first race. Then it was time for lunch and we had a mean feed of sausages and ice blocks that skids were selling for $1 and the sausages were $2. Lunchtime felt super long and we were playing with the soft foam pads, pretending they were swords and shields, while we were playing one of the junior kids( Stanley’s little sister) accidently got caught in the middle and got hurt, we stopped to make sure she was alright and once she stopped crying and her brother came to comfort her, we carried on playing.

 After lunch there was time for the finals for running and also the parent and teachers race that everyone was looking forward to.

The mums raced first and Grace’s mum won the race and then the teachers raced. We all were waiting to see James to run but instead he piggybacked Mr Roy and Mr Roy pretended that he was on a race horse, everyone was laughing and we had a good day. I enjoyed Athletics this year because I got to have fun and eat heaps with all my mates.

Kordell's Microscope Experience

The first slide I looked at some cell veins. The cell veins looked like the inside of your eye but it had heaps of veins going through it. The colour of the veins were not too dark but more a light blue, red and brown. The second slide I looked at was a hairy cockroach leg. There was heaps of little hair and long hairs and the colour was brown. It was very small, tinier then a strand of hair. The third slide was a bee sting. The bee sting was very tiny and had heaps of hair and was dark yellow but could easily be mistaken for brown. It was very pointy on one end and on the other it was straight edged, it also had puss still connected to the stinger. The last slide was from onion roots. it didn't have too much detail apart from a cluster of purple dots.
