Mt Erin College Yr 10 Science students make babies (out of vegetables that is)

The characteristics (phenotype) of each baby was determined by random selection of alleles to create the genotype. The phenotype is determined by the combination of dominant and recessive alleles recieved (selected) from the parent.

Hello All

Two weeks down and things are going well. The student’s (and staff) are settling into the routine of the Year 9 Centre after our Christmas break. There is some great work being completed on topic such as “should we change our College uniform”, Natural Disasters and Poverty.

Last Terms the students completed a self represntation of their values and annotated them with learning styles. They are now on display in the centre so come up and have a look at all the students just hanging around.

The students voted on what to call the centre and the winner was “Steve”.

If you haven’t been over to the Year 9 Centre (Steve) this year, or ever, come on over and have a look the students would love to see you.

Stay Tuned and keep your eye out for the “Steve Daily”. Photos will be added next week.

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 12,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Our return trip has started. We should land about 5.20pm -only a slight change in time as advised by Jetstar. We completed our NZ experience with a visit to the Antarctic Centre where the group watched the little penguins being fed and experienced blizzard conditions of -18 wind chill! Never again will we complain about a Melbourne winter! As our trip draws to a close, I would like to thank our trippers for their exemplary behavior and companionship -the staff certainly saw students change and grow into more worldly, wise and appreciative people – such is the privilege of being educators encouraging global citizenship. Thank you to all the families who made this possible.
Blessings for the Festive season, and as the Maori Saying goes-
‘May your path be as bright as Greenstone, May the Shadow fall behind you, and may your paths stretch in Peace – Until we meet again..’ – Over and Out from the Clarkster, Haisty the Heavehly and the Aggenator

Our day started with a 4:30am hike to the to the most incredible view of Akaroa harbor, and surrounding valleys. We came back to the rest of the Kiwi Krew asleep in their beds, packed our bags and prepared for a frigid trip on the Black Cat, to see gorgeous Hector’s Dolphins, Little Blue penguins and New Zealand fur seals. After an hour of shopping in the French inspired village and plenty of local handmade fudge, it was back on the coach for the hour drive to Christchurch. Winding roads with runaway sheep, and sloping hills covered in pine trees flew past the windows and we came to the recovering city-centre. Historic buildings, still fractured by February’s seismic activity adorned the streets on the way to our accommodation, Top 10 Holiday Park. After settling into our units, it was off to Willowbank Wildlife Reserve for a guided tour, and Maori culture show. A buffet dinner followed the awesome cultural experience, and then visiting the locals -Brown Spotted Kiwis, Keas, Tuataras and Kunekune pigs. With Clarky adding up our Trivia scores overnight, we’re off to sleep for a 6:30 start!
