OUR EXPERIENCE

FARM UCHILLA JAGUA PACHA

 

 

ANIMALS

 

ON  THE FARM I SAW RABBITS, COWS, WORMS, CHICKENS,  AND  ALSO  I SAW A GERMAN SHEPHERD THAT WAS OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE FARM.

WE FED THE CHICKENS,  AND WE LEARNED  THAT WE CAN´T TAKE A RABBIT FROM THE EARS BECAUSE IT CAN SCRATCH YOUR FACE OR YOUR HANDS.

THE MOST INTERESTING THING ABOUT THAT FARM WAS THE GUINEA PIG ( CUY) AND WE ALSO FED IT AND WE SAW A BABYGUINEA PIG.

UCHILLA JAHUA PACHA

 

I went with my friends of my school to visit a place called ´´UCHILLA JAHUA PACHA´´ which is a big farm.

When we arrived to this place, a guide was waiting for us.

He showed us the farm and he taught us all about his job.

 

 

I saw medical plants, beautiful and interesting plants with flowers and many kinds of trees.

 

 

It is called Integral Farm because plants, animals and food are a integral part to make this project.

The workers use the animal’s excrement like organic fertilizer and then the animals eat the fruits of the plants, then the workers sell the products of the animals to make money and to buy all that they need to the farm.

 

 

 

I saw a cow pooping and peeing in front of my grade, I took pictures of earthworms.

 

I saw horses, sheep, hens, guinea pigs, ducks and other kinds of animals.

I learn the steps to care the animals and growing the nature.

I really spent a great time there.

VISIT TO UCHILLA JAHUA PACHA FARM

I went  to  a  farm called  uchilla jahua pacha.

I  saw  in uchilla jahua  pacha:

1. Flowers.

2. Animals such as: Horses, chickens, ducks, cows and rabbits.

3. Crops.

4. Fruits  and   vegetables such as: Lettuce, tomatoes, beet and so more.

 

Uchilla jahua pacha  is  very  big and it  is close to the Ruta de los Volcanes.

I love uchilla jahua pacha.

In our visit to the farm,  we had a lot of fun, we saw many animals like cows, dogs, and rabbits. The rabbits are very big and funny, they eat lettuce, they are very lovely.  For lunch, we ate a sandwich and we drank some  fruit juice, it was very delicious. It was raining and we had to run a lot.

We had a great time.

There are many trees like the  paper tree, the lime tree and so many more.

I saw a  very beautiful dog.  I liked  this farm because it was amazing.

I saw a cow  pooping  and peeing  and it was like the water of the shower, it was funny.

We played and we wanted to take the chickens´ eggs.   We drank the water of a little river, the same that was the water of Cotopaxi.

When  I went  to the farm,  I did a lot of activities like feeding the ducks and chickens.

We took the worms with our own hands but we left them because the teacher was afraid of the worms .

We touched the rabbits and the guinea pigs and I learned  a lot of   plants that I didn`t know that existed, and also about insects.

UCHILLA JAHUA PACHA

PEQUEÑO PARAISO

SMALL PARADISE

On this farm,  we saw many things for example: Animals, trees, plants, flowers and small rivers.

There are fun people and they are teaching their kids well.

They taught me that the poop of the cow is the food of the worms.  They taught  me also, that the trees have a lot of different names  and that the small rivers have clean and pure water.

IT’S A NICE PLACE

I LIKED IT

I want to go again to this farm because it is very nice.

Andrea Alvarez.

 

I saw plants like tierra sagrada, which is a medicine plant.  The pumamaqui leaves are rough and is the most beautiful plant in the world, it feels like a paper on fire.  There was a creek, Maria Jose said that the difference of the river and the creek is that the river is bigger than the creek and the creek is really little.

We saw the lettuce, there are two types of lettuce, the crespa and the cabbage, we saw a tomato tree, there was a black thing for the  hail because the plants  have holes.

We were in the place whereAntonio Josè de  Sucre rested with his troops for the battle of Pichincha.

Juan Pablo Baquero

 

The water that we saw came from the Cotopaxi.  We could drink it and my friends did it.
This water was very cold and blue.  Before, this water came from Pichincha but now the Pichincha doesn´t have water
and that´s why the water comes from the  Cotopaxi nowadays.

Gabi Bahamonde

 

I learned that with the tilo tree leaves,   we can do a tea. Also that the polilepis is like paper.

That the potatoes,  have more than15  poison spreading when they are in crops.

That to the llamas,  if is a male is called llamingo and if is a female is called llama.

Something interesting was that the poop of the cow is food  for other animals

We are students from gutenberg schule, we are in 4th. grade “s” and we love our school.
It`s very nice because it`s big and it has a huge backyard, where we can play and study, especially science.
Science is very nice, we like to study the animals, the water, the earth and we really enjoy doing experiments.
Our teacher takes us outside to see everything and discover the things that are in the book, the homework are very easy and we also sent them by mail.
We are happy learning english and studying science.

 

 

 

The volcano is a mountain that erupts lava by an opening that is at the top. The Cotopaxi is a volcano that erupts and it’s one of the important mountains in Ecuador.

When the volcanoes erupt, people , animals and houses get destroyed and our environment gets damaged by the lava, the hot magma, volcanic ash and gases that escape from below the surface.

 

The volcanoes are extinct, active, dormant and intermittent.

EXTINCT VOLCANOES: Extinct volcanoes are the ones that will not erupt again because there is not longer a lava supply in the surface such as the Hawaiian – Emperor seamount chain Hawaiian – Emperor seamount chain in the Pacific Ocean, Hohentwiel, Shiprock and the Zuidwal volcano in the Netherlands. Edinburgh Castle in Scotland

ACTIVE VOLCANOES: The active volcanoes are those that erupt regularly. Here in Ecuador, we have right now Tungurahua volcano, the same that is in an eruption process nowadays.

DORMANT VOLCANOES: The dormant volcanoes are the ones that have not had an eruption in a long period of time but that can erupt again, as the Yellowstone volcano.

INTERMITTENT VOLCANOES: The Intermittent volcanoes are the ones that erupt at fairly regular time periods such as the Mount Asama, the Mount Etna and Hualalai.tna, and



 

The parts of the volcanoes are:

Lava

Crust

Water vapor

Gases

Ashes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We need:

• A piece of carton or wood
• some clay
• a plastic cup
• some flour
• some baking soda
• some vinegar
• red food coloring.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ll show you how a volcano erupts:

First: Build the volcano with the clay and leave an opening at the top and insert the plastic cup.

Second: Mix the flour with the baking soda and put it into the glass.

Third: Put 3 droops of red food coloring into the vinegar.

And finally: Pour this little by little into the mix.

Watch! Your volcano erupts.

 

Looking around us, we could realize that something comes out from the earth and it gets higher and higher. What is that?

Yeah, that is a mountain.

A mountain is a large landform in the form of a peak. In Ecuador, there are many beautiful and important mountains, but there are some that are different because they have an opening at the top, and these are called volcanoes.

There are many volcanoes in Ecuador such as: Tungurahua, Cotopaxi, Chimborazo, Sangay,  Guagua Pichincha and so on.

 

Here, I leave you some photographs of our beautiful mountains, and a nice animal.

 

 

 

VOLCANOES IN ECUADOR

HERE, IN OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, WE HAVE NICE MOUNTAINS AND VOLCANOES, IN FACT, QUITO IS SURROUNDED BY THEM, FOR EXAMPLE: GUAGUA PICHINCHA, RUCU PICHINCHA, CAYAMBE, ANTISANA AND COTACACHI.

THERE IS A LONG LIST OF EXISTING VOLCANOES IN ECUADOR, SOME OF THEM ACTIVE SUCH AS: TUNGURAHUA, GUAGUA PICHINCHA, QUILOTOA, ANTISANA AND SOME OF THEM EXTINCT SUCH AS: CHIMBORAZO, CAYAMBE, CORAZÓN AND ALTAR.

But I am going to leave some photographs of our beautiful and magestic volcanoes.

The Guagua Pichincha  throwing ashes before a possible erupt.  We were really scared.

 

Here, there is a beautiful picture from the Illinizas.

 

 

The following picture shows the Tungurahua that has been trying to erupt for some time.  It is located in Baños and in this photo this fantastic volcanoe is also throwing ashes.
