Why You need to like horses

Do you like horses? Have you ever rode a horse? Have you ever seen one? I strongly believe you should like horses because horses are beautiful, horses understand you and there are even some social activities. I am going to tell you three reasons why horses are amazing and then you can decide if you should think about liking horses or not. 


Firstly, Beauty can be in the eyes of the beholder. Horses inspire artists through the ages. They are living art forms that remind us of the natural wonders of the world. This in turn inspires us to live our lives at a higher level. Do you like reading? If you do, I think you should try out reading books from authors like Stacy Greg and for a little bit younger readers there is a series called pony pals. They write about horses. 


Secondly, There are lot’s of social activities related to horses. From hanging out at stables with friends to going to shows or group trail rides. horses keep their owner in touch with other humans. And they relax you, a trail ride isn’t very bad. You can even play amazing fun games on horses like capture the flag,  Red Light Green Light, the Egg and Spoon race, Simon Says and obstacle courses. 


Lastly, Horses see our real self. They don’t care if we are the President of a company or the janitor in the local school. They see you as who you really are. You have to earn their respect. You have to be honest with them and yourself. It’s like having a friend that really understands you. Can I just add that when you are riding a horse it feels like flying it feels so free.


Those are my three reasons you should like horses and you can decide if you like horses or not. I love horses and riding, and I really like cross country. Do you think horses are amazing yet? I hope you liked my speech about horses.

I enjoyed making the slides and I found it challenging to think of what to write in the writing part. I would love it if you commented on my amazing race episode 2 and here is a link to the amazing race. click this link if you want to make your own slides and here is link to a video that shows you what persuasive writing is and here is a link to a video called ¨ten facts about cats" and here is link to a video called "ten facts about dogs" one last link to "cats who needs them". This was my writing about dogs and below that are my slides.                                                                                                                                                                                       Why dogs are better than cats

I totally think that dogs are way better than cats, Do you agree? In this piece of writing I am going to tell you three reasons why dogs are better than cats. After I tell you, you can decide what side you are on.

Firstly, I think that dogs are better than cats because even the smallest dogs will try to protect you no matter what, and it would be good to have a hero around for at least nine-ten years, now isn’t that protection?

Secondly dogs are better than cats because dogs don’t make a disgusting sound when they have a hairball, they don’t even have hairballs. Who would want to clean up hairballs? I think that I would want to clean up dog droppings instead of cleaning and listening to cats and hairballs.
 
Lastly, they don't make you dig through a sand toilet (kitty litter box). Don't you think it's annoying when your cat buries the droppings in the sand toilet? I mean it's not nice to have to search for your cat droppings.
 
Well, are you on the dog's side yet? I mean what side are you on? For the reasons above I think dogs are way better than cats. 

The amazing race episode 2

This was just a activity we could do for fun. It is the amazing race episode 2 of last week. For episode 2 we were in japan. we had to watch a short video then complete some challenges.

Hakone is a mountainous area well known for it's hot springs. For this task Guysie and I had to draw something but.....there is a catch, one of us has to wear a blindfold and the other one has to tell the person with the blindfold where to draw. I think Guysie's picture is better so I must have given him better instructions. We had to draw three mountains, three trees on each mountain and a bird above each mountain. I drew and Guysie drew. 

Kobe is an important port in Japan. For this task I had to spot ten differences between two pictures. I found them all can you?

Composting

Do you know what composting is? Composting is breaking down organic matter to turn it into a useful resource for the garden. Composting speeds up nature by encouraging fungi and bacteria to break down organic matter.

Composting is made by layering green and brown organic materials. Green is law cuttings and green vegetable scraps and green weeds and brown is seaweed, dead leaves, sticks and twigs and you can also put some soil or ready made compost into it. You start by putting sticks and twigs on the bottom of the compost so that air can come in. you then layer green then brown about 100 mm thick, keep building your compost up until you have used all your materials. Then water your compost because you need water and air for your compost. Don’t let your Compost get too wet or too dry. 

You can use your compost soil to Plant flowers in and other plants and vegetables and stuff like that. It makes them grow really healthy, it provides nutrients for your plants and helps hold water in the soil.

I think if you don’t have a composter you should make one and do your own composting. It’s a great way to get rid of your scraps and leaves and weeds from the garden and turn it into something useful.

                                        This is a picture of my compost.

Did you know Arabians are from the Middle East? Arabians are one of the oldest breeds, they could be 4500 years old. Arabians are my favorite breed of horse.

The Bedouin people kept them in tents to keep them safe. When they are healthy they can be 800 to 1,000 pounds.

Arabian horses can come in all different coats and colours. Arabians can be chesnut, black,bay,dappled and white.They have a long silky,thick main tail.

The wind was blowing the light, soft sand into my mouth annoyingly.

 My cosy bedroom

 It’s my favorite part of the house,my bedroom. I love it! It’s really pink and my bed is so bouncy .IT’S PERFECTION!! Oh and it’s got a nice fluffy sheep skin in the middle of the room that is as soft as a unsawn sheep.

My room has got pink walls. My bed is on the side of my room under the window, out my window in the mornings I can hear the birds outside and see the flowers on the other side of the driveway. Sometimes I like to go on my mum's phone and read at night. 

My room gets messy easily. Some nights my cat comes and sleeps on my bed. There are books everywhere, I love reading!! I think my bedroom is really cosy. My cat is fluffy.

My room makes me feel calm. It smells like me because I am in there a lot. Sometimes in the morning when I wake up early since my step dad goes to work early I can hear him in the kitchen

Overall I think that my room is the best room in the house,and also I think it’s really cosy. Most of the time it’s messy though.

I love to see what my blog readers have to say. It says...

To:Dad

I bet it is not nice there and how's the food? It must be gross. You probably hate it

there. I really miss you and so does Mum. It is a bit wet here. I don't like it but it's 

probably nothing compared to what you have to handle.
