Cows

Life on a dairy farm

When the cow is ready to be born the cow stands up.

When the calf  is  born the calf tries to stand up.

next the calf drinks the milk its mothers udder.

then the farmer checks that the calf and its mother are fine.  

After that the calf is kept in a warm shed with the other calves.

In the shed the calves are always hungry.

Calves are greedy at first and always want more and more milk.

Once calves grow older they nibble more on grass.

They eat more grass and drink less milk as they grow older.

They also drink clean,fresh water

Young calves grow tiny horns.Their horns are removed or disbudded by a hot iron.

They get an injection so they dont get lnfected.

Now the calves will not throw sharp horns,insted they will play nicely with other calves.

The farmers get the best female calves to become milking cows.

Dairy calves are kept,they are called hie fer.

Horwagrsquir

The horwagrsquir is a mixture of a horse, an wapiti and ground squirrel made by me on swithzoo.com. A horse eats a small amount of food everyday because they have a small stomach. A horse lives on a farm. A horse survives by eating grass,running when his predators come to eat him. A horse adapts by using its mouth to eat grass. A wapiti eats grass or whatever it finds to eat. A wapiti lives outdoors in a forest. A wapiti survives by finding its food to eat. A wapiti adapts by finding its food. A squirrel eats nuts and  lives on a tree.

My Dream is to become a Dancer

My Dream is to become  a Dancer

When I grow up I would like to be a dancer because I like dancing. I have always  loved to dance and because I have once participated in a dance competition with a dance group and we came third place. Some people think that dancing is like singing, but it isn’t, dancing is moving to music not singing music.

I come to like dancing because I have participated in three dance competitions and so I believe in myself.  There are different types of dancing such as contemperary, salsa, free-style and break dance. Hip-Hop is a type of dance that uses stunts such as cart-wheel, hand stand, head stand and flips. Some people think that dancing is rubbish, they say who wants to dance but for me dancing is the best thing in the whole of planet earth. My dream to become a dancer started when I was 5 years old. I want to dance as a cheerleader for a game. Since I would like to be a dancer when I grow up, I will go for dance classes and follow my dream to become a dancer. I’ve danced six times in 3 years and if I ever become a dancer it will be a really big dream come true. Dancing is my big hobby I want to do in the future and I am considering singing too.
