New Ussuri Brown Bears At Yorkshire Wildlife Park

Four Ussuri bears were rescued from Japan.Two of the four were cubs when they were snatched from their mum who was shot by hunters. These are brothers are called Riku and Kai  they are now 17.The other two are called Amuro and Hanako and they are 27. The trip from Japan to the UK  lasted two days and they travelled 5,400 miles. In there old home they were living exhibits and the cages were 6 foot long and 9 foot wide and there were only three inches of water in there cages.

I am glad that they have been rescued by Yorkshire wildlife park because it is only about eleven miles away so we can get their easily and we have annual passes we can see them till the passes run out  and when they are open for public I will update and put pictures and videos on.

Camera Project 4

Camera Project 2

On Wednesday me and my nan went round the lake and I did a project on the way round . the project was from The Camera Book the project is called Focus On One Thing and I needed to find something called macro. Nanny couldn't find it but I found it !!!I did a white flower on a bush, the picture isn't as good as it could have been but its ok for my first time

Camera Project 1

Yesterday I started a new project on photography and I'm using The Camera Book by John Davis to guide me through the project I did the first page of seventy yesterday but it's not hard, (whats hard is keeping people viewing my two blogs), the first page was called still life and I needed to take a picture of  something that doesn't move and I chose this. 

As there are seventy projects in the book, one on each page, expect sixty nine more posts 

Puppy party

Last night our fourteen week old puppy called Finn went to a puppy party at the vets, when we got there a puppy was waiting outside with its owner. The puppy was a Jack Russell called Charlie, a Jack Russell that was yapping it's head of for half an hour or more and all the noise upset Finn. About ten minutes after we got there another puppy came with her owners that puppy was a Golden Retriever called Lily, she was nice and quiet. 

When we went in (with Charlie still yapping) to the vets there were a pile of toys on the floor, this was to show what toys puppy's should play with. There was a nurse and a vet there the nurse past round a sheet with pictures of the way a puppy could do to interact with you.  The puppy's played with each other for a bit and after that we played pass the puppy. This was to get the puppy's used 

to other people. next it was time to look around the vets.

First we went to the kennels and saw Alfie who is one of the vets dog, from the kennels we went to the x-ray room Finn didn't like it much, then we went to the operating theatre there was a small toy dog on one of the tables and I learnt wear they check the  pulse of a dog, then we went to room 1 and there were worms and ticks in tubes on the table I guest that the ticks were female and the vet was surprised that I was right (I have read about ticks though). Finn hated it in there too. When we went back into the main room there were six goodie bags two for each dog oh good news too Freya's five and Finn was on the lead for the first time 

The New And The Old

Today me and my Nan went for a very early morning walk round the lake, by early I mean we got out at 7:15. We went on the walk because I like walking, I like nature and I like animals 

On our walk we came across a greylag goose gosling and two greylag geese. It was the first greylag gosling that we've seen on the lake here are some facts about them. They eat things such as grass, roots, cereal leaves and spilled grain, they have a wing span of 147-180 cm  oh and they are the largest of the wild geese native to the UK. They are quite rare on our lake because it is mostly Canadian geese but we have got two grebes and several swans 

We were about half way through the walk when I saw two cygnets and a female swan I think that they were mute swans too. did you know that they have a wingspan of 208-238 and they eat: water plants, insects and snails.

             

we also saw a grey heron which we haven't seen for ages
it was in mating season I think and heirs some of the things
he eats: fish, voles and frogs   there wingspan is 175-195cm
and there are over 13,000 heron nests in the UK      

Science Experiments

On Thursday we had a science lesson at my house containing me, my sister, my friend and her brother . At first we cut out some pictures of house hold things such as: food, bleach, baking powder and a few kinds of drinks.

 Next we tested some things like: tomatoes, washing up liquid, lemon juice, salt water, as well as other bits and bobs. The lemon juice has a ph of 1 (ph meaning power of   hydrogen), The tomato had a ph of 4-5 we also tried orange juice and it had a ph of three.When we had finished that me and my friend got a crossword 

Clumber Park

On Monday we went to Clumber Park with my sister my friend and my friends mum and brother. At Clumber Park we had a picnic and there were greylag geese and they wanted our food. There was also a young squirrel who took some of my sandwich I gave my friends brother some of my sandwich to give to the squirrel after that we went to a woodland play area and me and my friends brother blew
bubbles and saw who could blow the biggest bubble.We went on a boat that had information on like when the river is low you can see the remains of a old boat that sank.

 We went on a brige that has been wrecked because some one drove back and forth and wrecked the brige there were lodes of notes saying things like we hope it is rebuilt soon and that kind of thing.
Clumber park brige is over 250 years old though

A Dog Called Homeless by Sarah lean

I got A Dog Called Homeless from my public library and it is the  longest book I have read.

This is how the story starts, My name is Cally Louise Fisher and I have not spoken for thirty-one days. Talking doesn't always make things happen,however much you want it to. think of the rain; it just happens when it happens. when the clouds are ready, when they're full, they drop the water. It's not magic; it's just putting something back where it belongs. 

Cally can see her mum who has been dead for a year but no on believes her so she stops talking. she sees her mum with a wolf hound and a tramp called Jed in the end it turned out that the wolf hound was a gift to cally from her mum and Jed looked after the dog and was trying to find Cally     

 I think it is lovely book and the best one yet I think it would be for 8 up and give it 5 out of 5

my dog likes reading it to

Puppies

On Friday the sixth of April Freda had a litter of nine puppies. Four boys and five girls.  Loki is the dad

• the first puppy is a girl she was born at 10:54 
• the second puppy was  a boy and he was born at 11:38 
• the third puppy was a girl and she was born at 12:26 
• the fourth  puppy was a girl and she was born at 12:54 
• the fifth puppy was a girl and she was born at 13:54 
• the sixth puppy was a boy and he was born at 14:16 
• the seventh was a girl and she was born at  15:25 (she is huge) 
•  the eighth puppy was  a boy and he was born at 19:17 (he was late so we thought that there was only seven puppies)
• the ninth puppy was  a boy and he was born at 20:00 

They are so cute but there eyes are closed for one to two weeks but the hearing is gained at three weeks. Puppies cant see, hear or walk properly our youngest is only forty three hours old but we take shifts to  make sure Freda doesn't lie on them and hurt them. there will be lodes of changes in them they will learn to walk and they will be able to hear and see.

puppy's are so cute

Chester Zoo

We went to Chester zoo with by best friend on Monday. We saw loads of animals including a cheater (cheater's are my favourite animals) and elephants with there big trunks and small ones to. There were also bats. I did not want to go in the bat cave because it was dark and I don't like  things that move in the dark.

We saw monkeys and there was one bit in the monkey house that had two big snakes that are huge but the orangutans are so much like a human but an orangutan is not a chatter box like some humans and humans don't swing from rope to rope. We also saw a big house full of fat buffaloes.

There were some monkeys that have hit the glass that lets you look at the monkeys. Ok the adult monkeys aren't cute but the baby's are. Hear are some pictures.
