Ostriches bury their heads in the sand when they are scared?

Ostriches bury their heads in the sand when they are scared?

Not true.

They don't actually. If an ostrich did that, it would suffocate.

Ostriches bury their heads in the ground though and they stick their heads in the hole from time to time to check on their eggs.

Male and female ostriches take turns to incubate their eggs.

Elephants never forget

Elephants never forget!

They have amazing memories. That is why these magnificient creatures can be trained as workers or performers.

Animal trainers have discovered that elephants have an exceptional ability to remember what they learn.

Elephants are also the only animals who remember members of their family who have died.

Why do rabbits have long ears?

Why do rabbits have long ears?

Rabbits rely on their long ears to warn them of the sounds of approaching danger.

http://www.4to40.com/qa/index.asp?id=749

Unlike humans, rabbits are unable to sweat through their skin. Unlike dogs, rabbits do not pant either. When the weather is hot, they need to lose heat from their body so that they won't die.

Rabbits lose heat by circulating blood through a large vein in their ear. therfore the longer the ear, the longer the path the blood travels, and the more time the blood has to cool down. This is the most efficient way for rabbits to cool off.

Elephants flap their ears to cool themselves down.

Do fish have ears? Yes, they do!

Do fish have ears???

Yes, they do. They have ears inside their heads!
Although they have ears, they may not hear very well.

puppet theatre performance by Paper Monkey Theatre Ltd

Hi children,

Hope you do enjoy puppet theatre performance by Paper Monkey Theatre Ltd tomorrow!

learning points:
1)be more aware of and be sensitive to the feelings and experiences of others.
2)the importance of building friendship within our diverse community.
3)the importance of being tolerant and living harmoniously.

Synopsis of performance:In the forest, there is a tree, a beautiful tree. At the top of the tree, there lives a bird. On the branches, there lives a monkey. Then there is the rat which lives under the tree. They are neighbours but not very good ones. Early in the morning, the bird will sing at the top of the tree, disturbing the monkey and the rat. In the afternoon, the monkey throws nutshells at the rat and the bird, irritating them. At night, the rat would dance under the tree and make so much noise that the monkey and the bird become annoyed.One day, it rained so heavily that the three of them have to abandon their home to look for another. Unable to find a suitable tree when night falls, they have no choice but to sleep under the stars. The night without shelter turns out to be so eventful and fraught with trouble that they finally understand the true meaning of friendship and cooperation. The next day, they find a tree but a frog is already living on it. Without hesitation, it invites them to stay if they do not mind its croaking. They become good neighbours despite the fact that the bird still sings early in the morning, the monkey still throw nutshells at lunchtime, the rat still dances at night and the frog croaks whenever it feels like it.

Class Party?
