Llama Info Report

Llama Info Report

Did you know that a Llama is a South American relative of the
Camel,

Even though they don’t have humps they were used as pack

animals for centuries, usually carrying up to 50 to 75 pounds.

In kilograms that would be 50=22.6796,

75=34.0194

Llama’s also make good sheepdogs for guiding sheep herds to
their pens!?

Self defense

When Llama’s get angry or pushed to the point where they can spit,
hiss, or even kick at their owners to hop away from them and give
them some space to calm down.

Diet

Llama’s graze on grass and, like cows they regurgitate their food
and chew it as cud. They chomp on the cud before fully digesting it then starting a new batch.

Llama’s can survive by eating most sorts of plants,
they also need to drink lots of water.

Terrain and Hide

Llama’s are usually found in sparse mountain terrain and savanna's.

People use Llama’s hide to make leather, and their wool is crafted into
ropes, fabric and carpets.

Llama’s can serve their human owners, yes people slaughter them
and eat their meat.

And on that sad note here are some

Llama jokes!

What did the pellet say to the Llama??

Don’t eat me!!!!!!!!!

What’s the difference between a Llama and an Alpaca??

Alpaca’s have more dark meat!!!!!

NEW PASSION PROJECT!!

I am starting a new Passion project, I have already done the plan for it and looked up what my resources are.

I going to make an Inspire Board, I'm going to buy some sticky notes, colored beads,Wash-i tape and string and design the outside of a cork board that I will also buy,
I'm going to write down quotes,jokes and stuff to do when your bored on the sticky notes and then pin them with some push pins.

I may also put some drawings on the board just to jazz it up a bit.

I'll be taking mine home after I have completed it, and maybe be adding to it along the way.
I have only 2 weeks to finish it and I haven't even brought the materials yet!!!

I hope I get it done in time and it looks like I wanted it to, and I'll make a blog post later about what it looked like in the end.

These pictures are sort of what it will look like...

Coffee Info Report

                         Coffee Info Report                          

Did you know that coffee was discovered in the year 1671 well the coffee beans at least, (that's over 300 years old!!!).

The story goes that an Ethiopian goat herd discovered coffee when he noticed how excited his goats got when he fed them beans from a coffee plant, and from that day on coffee began.


People started drinking coffee in 1773 from an American Boston tea party that made the switch from tea to coffee.

Coffee originated from Ethiopia, the earliest substantiated evidence of either coffee drinkers or knowledge about the coffee trees come from the 15th century, in the Sufi monasteries of Yemen.

There are many different types of coffees, 
here are the standard ones:

Cappuccino
Espresso
Flat white and 
Long black.
-----------------------------------------------------------


Benefits:
How does coffee help with your benefits and health?? Well I've got the answer for you!
Coffee can help you cut pain, if you drink two cups of coffee it can cut-post workout  muscle pain from up to 48%.

The benefits associated with drinking coffee can protect you from getting type 2 diabetes, liver disease, liver cancer, and Parkinson disease.  
-----------------------------------------------------------

Risks:
In particular, while coffee can help protect us from several diseases and can give us a temporary boost in energy and performance, drinking it everyday can change our brain functionality during the time we don't have caffeine in our system, it can impair our mood, worsen our performance and lower our energy levels.

The highest amount of cups of coffee a day should be 6 or less. 
-----------------------------------------------------------

How it's made:
Coffee is a brewed drink prepared out of roasted coffee beans, which are the seeds of berries from a Coffea plant.




The roasted coffee beans are ground and brewed with boiling water to produce as a beverage.

Now here are a couple jokes about COFFEE!!!!

If you can't say anything nice, you obviously haven't had your coffee yet.

How do you feel when there is no coffee?
Depress-o.

"I don't have a problem with caffeine, I have a problem without it"




  

Seasons poem

   My writing goal is Structure and Language
Seasons Poem

              Enjoy!!!!

----------------------------------

Spring:

Spring is here. Spring is here,

Flowers are blooming everywhere,

and people are in such happy cheer.

I wish the flowers would last forever,

and the bees honey is better than ever.

Baby birds are hatching, and learning how to sing,

That gives them clues that Spring is about to fling.

Summer:

Summer is here, Summer is hot.

The sky is bright blue and the sun has made many hotspots.

Summer fun is eating outside and having an amazing tree-swing ride!

As well as having BBQ’s,

Putting the hammock up and having a snooze.

Autumn:

Leaves are falling all around me, jumping in the leaf piles, heart full of glee.

Beautiful colored leaves flying off of trees, while I’m inside having a cup of Pumpkin spice tea.

When spikey grass is turning brown,

And Autumn leaves are floating down, I dance with them on the street, then scuffle through them with my feet.

Winter:

Eager children grab sleighs and slide down hills,

Freezing cold but yet the wind stays still.

Huddling up to the fire with a hot chocolate in mittens,

And warming up to my bundle of kittens.

Trees cold and bare filling up with gallons of snow,

And at night whistling winds and the inky sky that makes the stars glow.

Passion Project Dog Toy

                 Passion Project Dog Toy
----------------------------------------------------------

My Passion Project was to make two dog toys for my dog Bella.
A Passion project is where you have to make something with your own resources, money and have to make\build it at school, I wanted to make dog toys for my dog because even though she has a lot already she can never have too many.

You got to choose between doing Girl Tech or Passion project, and of course I picked Passion project.
I was just intrigued to do a Passion project since I hadn't done one before and that the whole decision was up to me and what I could make.

First you had to pitch your idea to a group, pitch means to tell someone your idea and add detail, then you had to fill out a sheet on paper about what resources you will need, what questions you need to answer, and your Timeline.

A Timeline is filling out at the start of each week what tasks you will need to get done in order to make your Passion project work.

My first idea of a dog toy was to make a rope for her to chew on, so I did some research for what materials I'll need and what will be safe for her to chew on?
I bought the materials on the weekend with my Mum and then took them to school the next day, I looked at a couple tutorials on YouTube then started to create.

I made my first dog toy in day one of bringing my resources to school, The idea was to cut holes in a tennis ball then plait a T-shirt then stick the T-shirt through the ball holes, it looked like this in the end.










The next day I started to make the second dog toy, it was just a regular rope toy, with yellow rope tied around it, I actually used the remains of some of the plaited T-shirt to hold the rope in place and make it straight.

Right now my dog Bella is loving playing with these toys, and I also made two more long rope toys for her at home since she liked them so much.
I think I learnt a lot for this experience like:

How to make the toys?
What resources you will need?
What resources will be safe for her to chew on?
How long it would take me to make them?
How tight should the rope be?
What was my Timeline?
And questions like that.

The process only took me 3 and a half weeks to make, one day to get all the resources, 2 and a half days to make the toys, and a whole week to research, 
I really liked my Passion project and think I will want to do another one in the future.

Here are some more photo's of my dog playing with her toys!
