The Loch Ness Monster By Justyn

Welcome to the Loch Ness Monster history blog post. The Loch Ness Monster is a mythical sea creature with a long neck. The neck is as long as a Brachiosaurus’, a neck which is about 30 feet long. Also, the Loch Ness Monster lives in a lake in Scotland. The Loch Ness Monster is very interesting, and it is probably not that friendly. The Loch Ness Monster is built to eat other animals, and it can also swim at very high speeds. It can also surface on the water, so it can catch low flying things above it. Some people have said that they have seen the Loch Ness Monster, and some people have claimed that they have encountered it too. Some boats have been flipped over by it, which has damaged and even sank some boats in the process. Photos have even shown a black image of something big travelling in the water. There are also a few photos showing the Loch Ness Monster sticking its head out of the water. Last, there has been some evidence found in the water that appears to be something destroyed by this sea creature.

I find the Loch Ness Monster interesting because I like knowing about something that is so big that can also be real. It is really cool to think that there is something that can destroy things in the water. The Loch Ness Monster also reminds me of an alligator gar swimming through the water, which is a fish with a strong skin and jaw. It is also interesting because so many people are still trying to find out about it. Thanks for reading, and go to the Wikipedia page below.

My Dog Chica by Shelby

I am going to be writing about my dog Chica. Chica is brown and little. She is a Pomchi, which is a combination of Pomeranian and Chihuahua. She is pregnant, and she is expecting to deliver in 4 or 5 days. My brother may keep one, then we will sell the rest of them. My dad thinks she will have 3 or 4 puppies.

Although we got Chica only 3 or 4 months ago, she can already do a great trick. If you hold your hand above her head, she will stand on her two back legs and turn around in circles. I hope you had fun reading about Chica.

Update: Chica had 6 puppies the day after I wrote this. The puppies are all healthy, although one of them almost died, but my older brother saved it. Two of them are white, and two of them are brown; one of them is black and one of them is polka-dotted. All of them are cute! Hope you like my post.

Birds by Micheala

Hi, I’m Micheala. I’m going to talk about birds. Some birds can be pets, but if you have them as pets sometimes you have to clean out their cage weekly or sometimes earlier. Birds need water and food to live. Some birds live outside. There are a lot of different kinds of birds like cardinals, blue Jays, and finches.

I used to have a bird, and it was a budgie. When I got it, we were saying random names to it, and when we said “Coco Loco,” he looked at us, so we then named him Coco Loco.  He’s green on his wings and back, and his face is yellow. He was only my bird, so it was sort of hard with school and everything to keep him clean and take care of him.  I wanted to teach him how to speak. Through the couple days with I have had him, when we played the songs “We are never ever getting back together” by Taylor Swift and “Call me maybe” by Carly Rae Jepson, he would chirp the whole time.  We had to turn it up really loud, so we could hear the music over him. If you put your hand in the cage he would freak out and fly everywhere, but he was getting better when we put our hands in his cage.  Soon we would have been able to put our hands in the cage, and he would land on our hand and we would be able to take him out of the cage. The cage he is in is only big enough for one bird, so if we get a second bird we will have to get a bigger cage or get a second cage. We got him from my mom’s one friend Jason, who got him from a lady. When Jason got him, he got two other birds, so he was good with other birds.  

 I like birds because they are interesting. They are interesting because you can learn a lot by having one, and once they get older you can teach them how to do tricks and to talk. You can learn that they need to have attention, and that they need to be fed a lot. You can also learn that if it’s cold outside and the door has a drift coming through it, the bird can get sick and die.

This is all I can say about birds. Thanks for reading.

My Crazy Cats By Jessica

Today I would like to write about cats. I have four cats, and two of them are named Charlie and Charlotte. They are both beige and brown. Charlie and Charlotte are the nicest out of the four. My other two cats are both black, and they are named Lilly and Seuss. Lilly is skittish, and Seuss is evil. Seuss is evil because she always attacks people. We found Seuss right after she was born. We found her on the road, and we thought she was a mouse, because she was all curled up and tiny. When we took her to the vet, the veterinarian said she was a cat, so we took her home.  She used to be really nice. We have changed her name a lot. For instance, she used to sleep in a hat so we named her Cat in the Hat. Then we called her Dr. Seuss, now we call her Seuss. Seuss is Charlie, Charlotte, and Lilly’s mom.

Charlie and Charlotte both sleep in hilarious positions. Charlie will lay on the heater and put his stomach on the wall. Charlotte will curl up in a ball. They love to play with ponytails that I drop on the floor. A couple years ago Seuss found a little stuffed rooster that made noise, and she carried around like her baby.

Cats are a big responsibility. You have to do so much to take care of them. Some things I do to keep my cats healthy are: make sure they have clean water at all times, play with them every day, clean their litter every day, don’t bug them or maul them, and make sure they have their space.  I love having cats, and I hope you enjoyed reading about mine too.

Cool Caterpillars By Kyla

I would like to talk to about caterpillars. Have you ever thought about how everything is enormous to them? Something that is enormous to caterpillars is a computer because some caterpillars are 2 inches tall and some computers are about 15 inches tall. Also, a blade of grass can even be even big to some caterpillars, just like the school is big to humans. Some caterpillars have six legs and spots on their back, and some have more legs and stripes. Caterpillars have all different coloured bodies such as green, white, black and many other colours. Caterpillars have very tiny teeth, which they use for biting and tearing leaves because they eat leaves and flowers.

The life cycle of a caterpillar is where the caterpillar starts as an egg, then the egg becomes a caterpillar then, the caterpillar forms a cocoon, where a cocoon is like a shell that is made out of the caterpillar’s saliva. The cocoon forms its around its body and hangs from a twig. If you wait a while, the caterpillar will pop out of its cocoon and become a beautiful fully grown butterfly. I think that the life cycle of a caterpillar is interesting because I think that turning from something slimy and long into something beautiful is amazing!

If I had to choose between a caterpillar or a butterfly for which life stage I like best, I would choose a caterpillar. I would choose a caterpillar because you can touch and hold one, but if you tried to hold a butterfly, it would fly away. I would also choose a caterpillar because I think a caterpillar is cuter. A caterpillar does most of work in the life cycle, which means they might be stronger too.

When you are around a caterpillar please be very careful because they are very delicate. Do not take them from their habitat, because that is how they become endangered. How would you feel if you were a caterpillar in a huge city? 

Cobras By Emma

Cobras are amazing but you rarely find them. Cobras are my favorite snake, but I haven’t seen one at a zoo or the wild. (I recommend not trying to find one because they might bite and they have venom in them). I wanted to see one in a zoo, and when I did see one, its cage was very small, so I didn’t really like it (but the snake was cool). I have seen lots of snakes before in other zoos, but they were in much bigger habitats. I never found out why the cobra’s cage was smaller. Now I am at a new school that at first didn’t have a mascot. The whole school voted on a mascot and it was a cobra! (And yes, I did vote on the cobra.)

What I like about cobras, and why I’m writing this is that when cobras are born, some of the eggs and baby cobras (first born cobras) get eaten by their mother, although some get away and live on their own and try to survive by themselves.

Cobras are a great mascot because cobras are strong, brave, and they never give up. (In my opinion.) Even though cobras are fierce, they need protection too. (So do NOT ruin their habitat.) We (the students at JRC) also need protection just like cobras. I hope you enjoyed my little talk about cobras. (I am a cobra a Callwood cobra!)

How to Take Care of a Bunny by Keagan

I would like to give you information on bunnies today. My rabbit is white with gray ears, tail, and nose. It is a dwarf. A dwarf is a lot smaller than a regular rabbit. The size of a regular rabbit depends on its weight, height, age and type. A dwarf gets about 1 foot long. To keep a rabbit you need carrots, food, a house, litter box, 2 food containers, carpet in the winter, healthy snacks, and toys. To keep a rabbit healthy, you need to feed them when you hear them banging their dishes. You have to clean the cage once a week, and they do not need to go to the vet unless you want them neutered. Do not let them eat anything outside because you do not know what has touched the ground, and they might get sick or die. They need exercise to stay healthy by letting them run around.

When I got my bunny I needed to build a cage, so me and my papa built a cage out of wood, chicken wire, nails, and staples. I got my bunny at a farm. Try and keep them in a place where people cannot touch them or predators can get them. One of my bunny’s predators is my cat. I hope you now know about my bunny and other bunnies too.
