this dog will eat anything.

Apple cores and bacon fat,

Milk you poured out for the cat.

He likes the string that ties the roast

And relishes hot buttered toast.

Hide your chocolates! he's a thief,

He'll even eat your handkerchief.

And if you don't like sudden shocks,

Carefully conceal your socks.

Leave some soup without a lid

And you'll wish you never did.

When you think he must be full,

You'll find him gobbling bits of wool,

Orange peel or paper bags,

Dusters and old cleaning rags.

This dog will eat anything,

Except mushrooms and cucumber.

Now what is wrong with those I wonder.

Yesterday our new topic was all about Africa. I looked in a book all about Kenya. Here's some facts about food and farming. Most families own land, called a shamba where they grow their food. They may also keep cows, goats and sheep for milk or meat. Many people use iron holes to dig the ground. Very few farmers can afford a tractor. In cities, a favourite treat is a bottle of pop and a packet of crisps. Hope you learnt somthing. Here's one fact about school. Children who live in the countryside walk to school. It may take some an hour or more! And the last subject is having fun. Children make footballs from plastic bags tightly wound together with string or rubber bands. Children recycle wire, scrap tin, wood, string and fabric to make toys that move. Thank you for reading my African research. I hope you learnt somthing about Kenya!

Goodbye!
