T1+Literacy+Report+Monkey

===Eiryl, Hemi is writing an information report on Diverse Monkeys. He was here when we read the story & did an internet search, however did not collect notes (which is why he has Harrisons), he should still understand the keywords in these notes. He has the subheadings in and needs to complete the writing.===

Diverse Monkeys
Monkeys are very diverse animals. There are many different types of monkeys that come in many shapes and sizes. There are believed to be 196 species of monkey. Most monkeys live in tropical regions in the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Monkeys belong to a larger group of mammals called primates. Primates have large brains, grasping hands and include humans. Like other primates, monkeys are very intelligent, have forward-facing eyes, hands with thumbs and different length fingers.
 * Diverse Monkeys**

Monkeys make excellent guards because they can warn eachother by sending out three signals. When they hear the eagle call they make a run for it. When they hear a predator call such as leopards they scatter into the trees. When they hear the snake call they look down into the grass.
 * Monkey Behaviours**

Monkeys are very smart. They can fish, how to store food, how to groom eachother, they have good communication skills and they are strong enough to break into cars.

Monkeys are omnivores. Most monkey diets are on fruits, nuts, insects, spiders, leaves, eggs, seeds and some small animals.

Depending on the species monkeys can live from 10 to 50 years. There are two types of monkey; new and old world monkey. The old world monkey have curved and close together nostrils, cheek pouches for storing thier food, sitting pads on their rear and their tails can not grab limbs and trees. The new world monkeys are the opposite. They vary in size from the baboons to the smallest, pygmy marmoset.
 * Diverse Features**

Most monkeys live in the tree tops like the black handed spider monkey, while others live on the ground like apes. They live in groups called troops which vary in size like the Red Colobus monkeys which live in troops of upto 80. The troop protects them from predators such as humans. After they are born the babies are carried the parents back and need lots of care.
 * Family Life**

===** Research Report : Information Report Mrs Stock: Hemi & Mum, Hemi this is a great report that you and mum have done together. I hope you are proud of what you have written. You are one of the only people that remembered to include some images in your report, well done! Goals: 1.) To begin/try writing 1 or 2 simple sentences independently 2.) Knowing that asking Mrs Stock for help is o.k. //(Eiryl are these types of goals what you would be expecting from Hemi?) Yes these are good goals - independent work is where we struggle! Hi Mrs Stock - most of these sentences are his - I just needed to act as scribe!! He just needed help to organise his thoughts, stay on track and write them down.// **===
