About Cruella de Vil

Cruella de Vil is an evil and terrifying person that nobody likes. Cruella De Vil is very cruel and all she cares about is herself nobody else. Cruella De Vil is mean to everybody including her friends Jasper and Horace.

Cruella De Vil has also mistreated and is disgraceful to animals. Cruella De Vil is very mean to the animals she skins the animals to make clothes. It's just so sad for the animals and their families. Cruella De Vil is horrible to animals especially the family with 101 dalmations.

All she cares about is fashion and money. Cruella De Vil only cares about her fashion company that she makes coats for. Cruella De Vil uses animal skins to make fur coats. Thus making her an evil and vile creature.

People fear her because she is terrifying to everybody. Everybody has to pretend to like her or she will feed you to the tigers. Cruella de Vil is a terrible person. It’s in her name Cruella DE-VIL.

Thus leading us to believe Cruella De Vil is an evil person. Cruella De Vil skins animals for money and fashion and she is a generally mean person. CRUELLA DE VIL IS HORRID!

Baby Caiman Description

 What are caiman? They sure have unusual diets, and live in many different places. They also grow to be really big! 

The size of prey items relies on the size of the caiman, with hatchlings eating tiny insects, fish, amphibians and cur, and huge caimans eating larger versions of these prey. As they grow, caimans involve mammals, birds and larger reptiles in the Baby Caiman diet. When Baby Caimans grow up they can reach 5 to 20 feet in length and weight from 220 to 1100 pounds, relying on the variety of caiman. 

Males and females look very alike, Caiman have slender snout (that is wide at the base) and haggard spine above its huge eyes. Lengthy and demolish tail is used both for swimming and for protection against all of its predators.

Caiman is a reptile that is remotely related to alligators and crocodiles. There are six sorts of caimans that can be found in the middle of South America. You can find them in Puerto Rico, Cuba, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Columbia, French Guiana.

As you can see, they are very interesting. Caimans are just like crocodiles and even look like them. What do you think about these fascinating creatures?

I really liked learning about Baby Caiman today and it was very interesting, there is an interesting article I've read about Baby Caiman. It was very fascinating to read about.

The Giant Pacific Octopus

The Giant Octopus had just been awoken from its slumber. It had spent the night stuck onto a piece of coral. It went unnoticed because of its special ability to camouflage. It woke up very hungry. When you're as big as a Giant Pacific Octopus you're probably going to have a big appetite. 

It moves through the depths of the ocean. The Octopus lives in a place where food is easily found. It slowly drifts through the sea bed, slowly approaching it’s prey. A cast of crabs. The predator waited for the perfect moment to strike. “WOOSH! It caught the crabs. The crabs get stuck in the octopus’s curves waiting to be devoured.

The Giant Octopus had eaten so much that it’s belly was stuffed. The Octopus needed to rest so it found a peaceful pace cave to rest in. It slowly drifted to sleep, as it did, you could hear it’s 3 heart beating.

The Octopus woke up once again from it’s nap. It swam up to the surface of the ocean, hoping to catch an afternoon snack. A seabird flew over its head, it shot the bird with venom making it paralyzed and an easy prey. The Octopus then continues to feast on the bird.

Later that evening, it slowly drifted down to the ocean floor, not bothering to look for a place to finally say goodbye. It had been a good 5 years and now it was ready to say goodbye. It’s suckers slowly start to die, and the colour of it’s skin fades it’s tentacles lying on the wet sand. The Giant Pacific Octopus is now gone!

Zaria-SLJ- Day 3 Week 3

Optical Illusions can use color, light and patterns to create images that can be unreliable or incorrect to our brains. The information gathered by the eye is processed by the brain, creating a knowledge that in reality, does not match the true image. Knowledge refers to the interpretation of what we take in through our eyes. Optical illusions occur because our brain is trying to interpret what we see and make sense of the world around us. Optical illusions simply trick our brains into seeing things which may or may not be real! <3 ;)

Santa Claus's Mystery

Fast Food

Fast Food

What is fast food?

Fast food is the term for a kind of food that people eat from a restaurant, cafe or take-out where food is prepared and served quickly. The restaurants that sell fast food are called "fast food shops" or "fast food restaurants". Some of the more common fast food restaurants are McDonald's, KFC, Burger King and Wendy’s. Today we are going to have a look at each of these fast food restaurants, how they were created and what they sell the most of. 

McDonald’s

McDonald’s is an American corporation that operates one of the largest chains of fast food restaurants in the world. There are over 36,000 McDonald’s stores around the world. These stores are in 119 countries and territories. McDonald’s has the second most stores of all fast food chains worldwide coming in behind the chain known as Subway. Did you know McDonald’s all around the world serve almost 54 million people each day? That is a lot of people! The first McDonald’s was opened by siblings Richard and Maurice (Mac) McDonald in 1940. This restaurant was located on Route 66 in San Bernardino, California. Mc’Donalds mainly serve hamburgers, cheeseburgers, burger, chicken nuggets, french fries, breakfast items, soft drinks, milkshakes and desserts. They have introduced healthier options and have kids meals available too. Frozen Cokes are a popular item on the menu in New Zealand and Australia. McDonald’s offers both counter service and drive-through services with indoor and outdoor seating as some restaurants. According to Google the most popular item on the McDonald’s menu is french fries! Google it if you don’t believe me!

KFC 

KFC also known as Kentucky Fried Chicken is an American fast food restaurant chain that specializes in fried chicken. The headquarters is located in Louisville, Kentucky. Measuring the sales of KFC they are the second largest restaurant chain after McDonald’s. There are almost 20,000 locations of KFC globally in 123 countries and territories as of December 2015. KFC was founded by Colonel Harland Sanders, an entrepreneur. He began selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky during the Great Depression. Sanders saw the potential of the restaurant franchising concept and the first “Kentucky Fried Chicken” franchise opened in Utah in 1952. KFC was one of the first American fast food cagins to expand internationally. KFC’s original product is pressure fried chicken pieces seasoned with Sanders’ recipe of 11 herbs and spices.  (his trade secret). The menu has since expanded to include sandwiches, wraps, salads, french fries, coleslaw, potato and gravy, desserts and soft drinks. Chicken pot pie is the number one most popular item at KFC, but since we don’t have that in New Zealand I am guessing that popcorn chicken that comes in at number 2 would be our best seller!

Burger King

Burger King or what is often called BK is a fast food restaurant chain that comes from the United States. It sells hamburgers, french fries, soft drinks, along with other items. BK was created in 1954 in Miami, Florida by James McLamoe and David Edgerton. There are more than 15,00 Burger King restaurants worldwide in 100 countries and almost all of them are franchises. The only place in the world that is not called Burger King is Australia. The name “Burger King” was already trademarked in Australia so their BK franchises are called Hungry Jack’s. BK offers both dine in and drive through restaurants. According to Google the most popular item at Burger King is the whopper burger. 

Wendy’s

Wendy’s is an international chain of fast food restaurants founded by Dave Thomas on 15th November 1969 in Columbus Ohio. Wedny’s is an American international fast food restaurant. The company moved its headquarters to Dublin Ohio on 29th January 2006. Wendy’s menu is mostly hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, french fries and beverages. For dessert they serve frostys which are similar to Dairy Queen's Blizzards. Wendy’s like the other fast food restaurants provides both dine in and drive through restaurants. According to Google the most popular item ordered at Wendy’s is french fries. 

I hope today's reading has shown some light into some of our favourite fast food restaurants that we have in New Zealand. French fries have definitely taken it out as the most popular fast food item from these restaurants. I cannot blame them, the french fries are most certainly the best item on the menu especially at KFC!
