My report writing on meerkats

 Meerkats are a cute and are light brown coloured animals.  Meerkats live in areas of clumpy grassland and deserts in the southern area of the African continent, including the Kalahari Desert in Botswana, the Namibia Desert in Namibia,  southwestern Angola and in South Africa. A family group of meerkats can be called a mob, gang or clan.


Meerkats mostly eat insects, which they sniff out using their enhanced sense of smell. They also eat small rodents, fruit, birds, eggs, lizards and as we've seen poisonous scorpions as well as snakes. Meerkats run on four legs and stand on two legs.


Meerkats are curious animals ,  Meerkats have excellent eyesight, they can spot predators in the air from more than 300 m away. They have great peripheral vision and can see in the dark .

  

These squirrel-size members of the mongoose family live in groups as large as 40 and everyone in the mob participates in gathering food, keeping a look out for predators, and taking care of their babies.



I have enjoyed finding out interesting facts about Meerkats. I think they are funny and cute.

Friday feldtrip

 On Friday the 6 of November room 4 and 1 went on a bus to Margaret Mahy playground. We played on Margaret Mahy for like 10 or 20 minutes. I went on the gigantic metal slide. Then we walked to the library. It didn't take that long to get to the library and we saw a tram! Once we got to the library, we played LEGO. Then we built a Lego skyscraper. People were being too noisy so we got kicked off the playground. Then we went to the museum. It was epic! We played a Maori, game that was played 100 years ago. Then we played rocks and shells. After all of the activities we got on the bus and went home.
