Travis Wetlands

On Monday the 30th of November, We went on a trip with 9DN, 9ST and 9MY To Travis wetlands, when we got there the weather wasn't looking that good, but the group I was in we managed to get to stop 14 out of the 15 stops, the stops we're basically just explaining what used to be there and what is there now, at stop 14 we saw a shelter that the other group was already at, most of us we're very cold and we were drenched in the water, so its probably best they called off the trip to save us from all getting sick.

On the next day, we got a phone call and they said there would be 6 people that could go again for the next day, on the next day it was very very hot and, lucky for us we got to start off by catching and identifying bugs that live in water area after that, we went to go do bird watching and identify the different birds that live in wetland areas, lastly we re-did the walk and this time we started from the back of the track and made our way around to the front of the track and at the end everyone felt drained and hot from the long walk.

My overall experience at Travis Wetlands was ok it was alot funner than I thought it would be and I learned alot of new stuff while I was there.

☾ First it starts by, going into your mouth then your teeth start the (mastication) process while your salivary glands start breaking down small particles of food, then It goes down your oesophagus, which pushes the food into your stomach then the acid & enzymes in your stomach start breaking down the chunks of food and pushes it into your small intestine which then starts absorbing all the nutrients from that food then the food moves down into the large intestine which gets rid of all the waste your body doesn't need (e.g. water salts etc..) then after the large intestine it moves to the rectum where controls when you need to poop out the left over food particles that didn't get fully evaporated after that it goes through your anus to get pooped out.

Cats make better pets than Dogs.

Cats make better pets than Dogs. I believe that this is true because I have two cats at home and they’re really cuddly and special to me.

Cats will sleep in your bed and keep your feet warm, like a hot water bottle with legs and a tail. When a cat snuggles in for a pat, it often starts purring. The sound, the feeling of soft fur, and the gentle vibration, is relaxing for humans. a tabby cat, at night she sleeps with me on the end of my bed and snuggles with me for most of the night. Gloria keeps my feet warm and she's a loving cat to have as a furry friend. By now you can probably understand why I think cats make better pets than dogs, even though I have 2 dogs at home, Gloria is a very cuddly and relaxed down to earth cat she's a cat who can relieve stress. And keep you warm, and happy when you're sad.

My Bird Mascot

I chose Nugget, which is a silkie chicken I choose this bird because they are soft and fluffy and maybe cuddly, unlike most birds surprisingly chickens aren’t afraid of humans, and another reason I have chosen the chicken is because I don’t usually like doing things out of my comfort zone usually so I could probably call myself a chicken so that's why I have chosen my mascot to be Nugget! 

Read Or Not To Read

The book I have been reading is called “Virals” and it's by; Kathy Reichs,

I have only just started reading this book and I’m in the first couple of pages and so far, there have been two main characters they’re called, Tory and Ben they have woken up in the middle of the forest sleeping in their tent, and they wake up and hear some strange noises… then they spot some silhouettes in between the trees.

Hopefully it will be a very, good book and I'm thinking that it will be a good book hopefully and I would recommend it.

Here is my word art that I made on the “Wordart.com” website

It chose to make the image of the art a sun with eyes and a mouth because in the last paragraph they were in a forest with tents and I was thinking a moon would suit it.
