On Friday we went to pick up our new baby calves. They are bulls, one is a Jersey called Tweety the other is a jersey x called Sir moo a lot or for short Moo Moo. Tweety is the smallest and is about a week old, he is shy and quite. Sir moo a lot obviously moos a lot, he is also the biggest and is about a day older than Tweety. Every morning my little brothers get to feed them and every evening I get to feed them ( they suck really hard). My dog Biscuit sits near the fence and watches them, sometimes she barks at them. Biscuit can also get into the paddock with the calves ,she barks at them and scares them so I have to catch her and take her out(Biscuit can run VERY fast so it’s really hard to catch her). Our other bigger bulls come and talk to the babies(we have four they are about one or two years old). Tweety and Sir moo a lot suck on your fingers.Everyone loves the babies, when they are one year old we are going to get another two babies.

Walking along the sunlit lane the cooling breeze blowing against my face. Taking refuge under a big oak tree with my friends. Talking about the mysterious disappearances of all the kids that had gone into the forest right across the street. As my friends carried on talking I noticed a russle in the bushes nearest to the edge of the forest I decided to investigate the noise. Walking into the forest the sunlight spilling through the gaps in the trees. As I walked further into the trees the forest seemed to get denser the sunlight was hardly visible. Then I heard a crack something was in here or someone. It might have just been some innocent animal or mayby my friends had seen me enter a decided to play a trick on me. I called out ‘Hello’ it echoed around the forest causing the birds in a near by palm tree to take flight. There was no answer except a noise of foot to crunchy leaf. Wondering why I ever thought about coming in here I tried to head back but realised I was lost. Backing up I bumped into sonething that was not there before…!

1. To finish all my work on time.
2. To improve in maths.
3. To check through my work before handing it in. 

I will do these by not getting distracted whilst working. I will try to get all my answers right in maths. I shall critically check through my work to make sure it makes sence and there are not to many spelling mistakes.

This is a video of what china is like and about its human rights. This is based around my main inquiry statement ‘ human rights in china are not china’s fault

Pigs have four toes on each hoof. Pigs walk on only two of their toes on each foot. They look like they are walking on tiptoe. Pork comes from pigs. Many people love to eat pork.  We use a pig’s bones & skin to make glue, gloves, shoes and footballs. Pig hair is used for artist’s brushes. And their dried bones are used for buttons and bone china.  A pigs scream of a jet engine taking off measures 113 decibels. The scream of a frightened pig can measure 115 decibels. There are pigs on every continent except for Antarctica. The largest pig was a Poland-China hog named “Big Bill.” He weighed a portly 2,552 lbs and was so large that he dragged his belly on the ground. He had a shoulder height of 5 feet and a length of 9 feet.  Pigs are very intelligent and learn very quickly. They are the fourth smartest animals. Pigs are intelligent and have been placed fourth on the intelligence list (humans are first, primates are second, dolphins/whales are third and pigs are fourth).  A mother pig can give birth to 8 – 12 piglets in one litter, and she can have 2 litters in one year. One mother pig gave birth to 37 piglets at the same time!  Pigs live for 9 to 15 years.
        

 Did you know that dogs and cats drink by lapping water with their tongues while cattle and horses make use of a sucking action. A baby female is called a filly, a baby boy is called a colt, a baby boy or girl is also known as a foal. When first born, foals cannot eat grass because their legs are too long to reach the ground. Foals can stand up within one hour of being born. Most foals are born at night. Thoroughbreds all have the same birthday which makes it easier to keep breeding, racing, and showing records.As well as using them for fly swatting, horses use their tails to send signals to each other about how they are feeling. A horse’s height is measured in hands.  1 hand = 4 inches. Horses belong to the equus family which comes from the Greek word meaning “quickness”. A pony is not a baby horse, but rather a full grown small horse.

Giraffes arenative only to Africa but they are still found in many different countries throughout sub-saharan Africa. Hunting and loss of habitat have forced the giraffe population to find refuge in national parks in East Africa and the northern parts of South Africa.

Giraffes are herbivores that prefer to eat leaves from various deciduous[deciduous means the dropping of a part that is no longer needed, or falling away after its purpose is finished.]  and evergreen trees found in open woodlands and wooded savannas. They tend to favor Acacia trees. Giraffes drink water every two to three days and can go without water for weeks. When a watering hole is available,giraffes will drink up to twelve gallons of water at a time.

Giraffes are the tallest living animals on earth. The male giraffe’s height from hoof to the top of his head can be up to nineteen feet. The giraffe can weigh up to 4500 pounds. The female is usually two feet shorter and can weigh 2600 pounds. A lot of the height and weight of a giraffe is from its incredibly long,heavy neck.

A giraffe’s neck can be eight feet in length, weighing as much as 500 pounds. Even though the giraffe is much taller than a human,it has the same number of vertebras in their neck. Both giraffes and humans have seven vertebras in their necks. A giraffe’s neck contains a special vascular system equipped with special valves to aid in pumping sufficient blood to the brain.

African lions occupy a wide variety of habits in Africa. The majority of the lions are found in East African national parks and reserves. They also roam the vast African grasslands and savannas. Lions can be found in forested,mountains and semi deserthabitats. The only habitats in which they are not found are tropical rainforest’s and arid deserts. Lions are carnivores. Theirmain source of food comes mostly from their killings of hoofed animals such as zebras, antelopes,wildebeast and defenceless young or injured animals. The number of lions in any habitat depends on the availability  of their prey. Lions roam where  there is sufficient food to feed their pride or group.

African lions are the second largest cats in the world. The largest cat is the tiger.Male lions can weigh between 330 to 500 pounds and the females can weigh 260 to 400 pounds. Both female and male lion are very powerful they  are extremely muscular with back legs that are made for pouncing and front legs made for grabbing and knoking down prey.
