Terrific Toucans

Do you know how many colours of toucan there are?

Hi my name is caoimhe and today i'm gonna be showing you my mini
information report about toucans. 

The large toucans can grow up to 25 inches tall and guess what their beaks
can grow up to 8 inches long. They are omnivorous.The colours that they
have on the bodies are black, blue, brown, green, red, white and yellow. 

Toucans live in central America. That ten to live in pairs or small flocks
They live in little holes in the trees. The climate where toucans ten to live
is very humid and tropical all the time but very dry and rainy throughout
the seasons. 

Some of toucans enemies or predators are forest eagles, hawks, jaguars,
boars and even owls. How do they protect themselves? their beak is actually
useless but they make a lot of noise so they use there loud noises to scare
of predators. 

Toucan use the long beaks to reach the fruit on the top of the trees.
Some of the other things they eat are insects and other small reptiles.They
are omnivorous which means they eat plants and animals. 

Toucans have the longest beak of any other bird that can grow up to
8 inches long. But I bet you think the beak is heavy but it's actually very
light like human hair. The toucan was called a toucan because it comes from
the sound that toucans make. 

Toucans have lots of colour and they are very joyful. Toucans are an amazing
animal with such great intelligence. Did you learn something new about
toucans from this report?

world war one life

During world war one time’s the soldiers had to live in trenches.
The trenches were very dark, narrow and long ditches dug into the ground.
The toilets would overflow and the beds were very uncomfortable and
muddy. The problems caused a lot of soldiers to get trench foot. At home
during the war the women were left to do everything cooking, cleaning and
even some of the jobs the men would do. 

brilliant buttons

How to play: 
put 6 buttons into a bag that is not see through. They have to be two different colours. pull the coloured buttons out of the bag one at a time record what u think you will get and what you do get. remember to put the buttons back every time you pick one out.

What I got:
there were 3 greens and 3 blues. so there was an even chance of me getting either.
First I thought I was gonna get blue, but got green.
Second I thought I was gonna get blue, then got blue.
Third I thought green, but got blue
Fourth I thought blue, but got green.
On go five I thought I would get blue, and I got blue

curios chickens

There are billions more chickens than humans on earth. There are 25 billion chickens roaming through earth. A hen can lay 300 or more eggs per year. Chickens can swim but their feathers are not waterproof; sometimes they will sink. Their lifespans are 5 - 10 years. Chickens can actually fly but they will fall or come down to solid ground very quickly. 

why its important to keep your chickens coop clean !!!

It is important because they need a clean place to lay eggs. It is important to keep your coop clean because with the build up of dropping could build up to hurting the chickens eyes.
