ANIMAL OF THE WEEK!
BIRD
HERE IS SOME INFORMATION ABOUT BIRDS!
Birds have feathers, wings, lay eggs and are warm blooded.
There are around 10000 different species of birds worldwide.
The Ostrich is the largest bird in the world. It also lays the largest eggs and has the fastest maximum running speed (97 kph).
Scientists believe that birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs.
Birds have hollow bones which help them fly.
Some bird species are intelligent enough to create and use tools.
The chicken is the most common species of bird found in the world.
Kiwis are endangered, flightless birds that live in New Zealand. They lay the largest eggs relative to their body size of any bird in the world.
Hummingbirds can fly backwards.
The Bee Hummingbird is the smallest living bird in the world, with a length of just 5 cm (2 in).
Homing pigeons are bred to find their way home from long distances away and have been used for thousands of years to carry messages.

STUDENT'S OF THE WEEK!

THE TIGHTY-WITEY SPIDER
The tighty-whity spider went down the waterslide. Got a water wedgie halfway down the ride. Jumped up and screamed and ran around in pain. Now the tighty-witey spider will not do that again.
MY TEACHER TOOK MY IPOD
My teacher took my iPod. She said they had a rule; I couldn't bring it into class or even to the school. She said she would return it; I'd have it back that day. But then she tried my headphones on and gave a click on Play. She looked a little startled, but after just a while she made sure we were occupied and cracked a wicked smile. Her body started swaying. Her toes began to tap. She started grooving in her seat and rocking to the rap. My teacher said she changed her mind. She thinks it's now okay to bring my iPod into class. She takes it every day.
I'M ABSOLUTELY FULL TONIGHT
I'm absolutely full tonight. I couldn't eat another bite. I couldn't eat a half a bean, or even taste a tangerine. I couldn't lick a lettuce leaf or bite the slightest bit of beef. I couldn't polish off a pea or sip a single drop of tea or nibble on a nanogram of pickled ham or candied yam or lamb or clam or jam or Spam. Yes, that's how full I truly am. To even think of eating more would leave me lying on the floor and surely make my stomach hurt unless, of course, you've got dessert.
