This is a blog for Room 3 students to post comments and assignments on. I look forward to seeing what transpires here.
I really like how when the people who are in the top ten get a prize. And the first person will even get a luxury car. I can't believe that it's considered a sport and also normal. I never knew that adult camels can reach a speed up to 40km/h, wow! Thats fast for a camel. I think that must be scary to be riding on a camel that goes that fast!

WOW! It is really clever for them to send falcons to hunt for them. It must take ALOOOOOOOOT of training. I wonder it the falcons can hunt something their size or maybe something smaller? The breeding center must have trained people to train falcons and make them hunt!

The people in the UAE do things allot differently. I really like the idea of having a pet that can get you you're food. I never knew people used birds to stay alive
ReplyDeleteI think that camel racing is interesting. It's racing season is October - April. Camel racing is traditional sport, it plays a significant part in the country’s heritage. There is a jockey, but in camel racing, the jockey was a child. Adult camels can reach speeds of up to 40 MPH. AK9
ReplyDeleteI reading all three.
ReplyDeleteThe camel racing sounds amazing! I understand why you wanted to some. Good for you. You got on a camel. Soon you should try getting on a horse, and then tell me the difference. I would love to know.
I can not believe the Burj Khalifa is that tall. I would like to know the pronunciation of Burj Khalifa. It is so hard to say. I wonder how many years it took to build. It seems impossible.
I can not believe people hunted falcons. Some of their feathers are very pretty in color. I know, I know. They needed something to eat. But still... I never really thought that falcons could kind of like be pets. Well since it works for them, it works for me.

Camel racing looks really fun! It is kind of funny that the camels use trucks. I think I would be dizzy after the camel ride. It is looks really bumpy! I wonder if you sit between he camels humps. TW TEACHER will you please answer my question?
ReplyDeleteThe one that started with camel racing looks really fun! was mine

Camel Racing looks amazing! It must be fun to be a jockey and watch your camel race. If you ever see a camel race, you should videotape it. I would like to get first place and win all that money! Approximately, how fast can a camel run?

Racing on a camel is so epic! I wish I could do it now but have to wait a year or two until I go to Abu Dhabi. Bedouins used it for transport and delivering. The jockey was a kid. but nowadays the jockey is a robot machine.

When did they start camel racing.

Is it really a unique sport. That's cool. Also I have 3 questions. My first question is have you ever been in a camel race? My second question is how long has it been a sport? My third question is why did they replace child jockeys with little robotic machines?

I never knew that you race on Camels in Abu Dhabi! I wonder what the camel think of when people ride on their backs. I also never knew that you could win up to 5,000 Dhs including luxury cars, it's crazy! I also wonder why camels go so fast, 40km (30mph), WOW! I wonder how it feels to ride a camel in a race...
ReplyDeleteOP17
I never knew camel racing was a sport.I was wondering what were Bedouins.I didn't know they had to be between 3-4 to race. I think the prices are really high. If I were in Abu Dhabi I would go camel racing.
ReplyDeleteOR21
I chose camel racing as a topic. I would so want to see two camel races a day! I want to race and win that seems so cool to win 5,000 Dhs. that is such an interesting fact that if there is a blue mark. If I could ever go to the UAE I would go to camel racing right away.

I am amazed that the Berj Khalifa is twice the size of the Empire State Building! I am also amazed that the Berj Khalifa is 2,722 feet tall! It must be huge to have 8 hotel rooms, residential apartments and offices! Dubai must be a really rich city to be able to afford 1.5 billian dollars on one skyscraper! But what I think is the most fascinating thing about the Berj Khalifa is that it contains the biggest mall in the world with 400 stores!
ReplyDeleteCamel racing sounds fun, can we learn a little more about it? I think its interesting that to tell how old a Camel is people inspect their teeth. I would like to try Camel racing sometime. I also think its interesting that when a Camel is one years old it can not race because the leg muscles are still developing. I would like to see how they control the camels with robot jockeys.

TW(teacher) there is camel riding in the U.S. but not racing. If you go to the Phoenix Zoo in Arizona you can ride camels at Zoo Lights.(CL10 has gone with me camel riding.) I think the concept of camel racing is very cool. It would be fun to be the jokey. If anyone is going camel racing anytime soon can you tell me everything about it? It sounds very fun
