Wolves

What Are Wolves?

Wolves are like dogs, but bigger and stronger, and they can get fierce like dogs.

What Wolves Look Like.

Wolves are like Huskies and German Shepherds, but grey and white, and wolves have very fluffy fur and have blue eyes.

Where  do Wolves live?

Wolves live underground in dens until they are at least seven months old. When the wolves are seven months old, they live in meadows in  Canada and Russia and wolves in Antarctica live in snow and ice.

What  Wolves Eat

In the spring and summer, wolves eat rabbits, hares, ducks and ground squirrels. They steal eggs and catch fish in streams and rivers. In Autumn and Winter, they can’t catch the little animals that are hibernating in winter so the wolves have to catch big animals such as caribou and musk oxen.  

What Wolves Do

Wolves like to go hunting, they like to go and play and they like fighting to see who is the strongest.

Wolf Babies

Wolf babies are called pups or cubs. The pups are born in underground dens until they are three weeks old. When the pups are three weeks old, they come out of the den to play and to fight.

The pups fight each other to see who is the strongest. When the pups are two months old, they move to an open meadow close to water because wolves drink a lot of water when they go hunting.

Wolf Dangers

Wolves are scared of people, and wolves and polar bears have a special bond.

Zero Waste

It is important to reuse, recycle, reduce and compost so that we don't keep adding to the landfill. Every month, NZ makes a rugby field long and 30 classrooms high of rubbish. We can reuse some of our old things that we don't need any more and make something else useful  such  as pencil holders, puppets pet houses critter cup-phones and animals and, maybe, we could take down that pile of rubbish.

Elgrego's Anti-Bullying Show

Yesterday my school and I went into the hall to watch the Elgrego show.
When we were ready, Elgrego began his magic by making birds appear. He then put a dove in a box and tipped it upside down and it was gone, then he put three birds into a cage, then he put a cloth over it and took it off and there was a rabbit in there. My favourite was the bird that went upside down.
Next, he performed a magic trick with fizzy raspberry drink. He put a glass in an upside down box and turned it upside down. He took it out. We were all watching to see what would happen. It was still full. We were all captivated. We all clapped.

After the drink trick, we watched Elgrego talk with Seemore, the baby green dinosaur. Seemore was sad because people teased Seemore at school because he was green. Elgrego was being a ventriloquist. A ventriloquist is someone who talks for a puppet. He sung The Rainbow Song from The Muppets and he felt better. 
Finally, Elgrego performed the brick wall trick. He got a brick wall and a sheet and put his head in a hole in the wall and put the sheet in front of him and he went through the wall.
