Can you guess which country Mr Waddles and Mrs O'C are now visiting?



CLUE 1:   The wildlife. 

Mr Waddles got to meet a whole lot of new animal friends including squirrels, musk rats, raccoons, chipmunks, woodpeckers, water snakes and even a moose (but not the chocolate variety). 

We saw this moose in the wild.  A moose sheds it's antlers every year and then grows new ones.
Here is a picture of what a moose looks like with antlers.




We visited a bear centre. We learnt about bears and what to do if we saw them in the wild.



When we were canoeing we saw a beaver lodge. This is the name for the house the beaver builds to live in. Can you see it in the photo? The beavers get into the lodge by swimming underneath. They can chop down trees with their sharp teeth.


This turtle just wondered across the grass where we were staying.

CLUE 2:  The Flag.


CLUE 3: Famous Landmarks- natural and man made.

Here is Mr Waddles next to Niagara Falls. This is a famous waterfall because it has the most water flowing over it in the world.


The CN Tower is a famous landmark in Toronto. Toronto is a city in this country just like Christchurch is a city in New Zealand.

Have you guessed which country we have just visited from the clues?

Here is one more clue if you need more help. 

CLUE 4:
This country is above the United States of America (USA). You might like to look at a map of the world to help you.

The next place we are about to visit is known for its 10,000 lakes and is back in the USA. See if you can find Minnesota on a map of America.

    1. Hi Room 10,
      You were right it was Canada!! Over the holidays see if you can find out what Canada and New Zealand have in common. There is something special coming up that both NZ and Canada are going to be in. From Mrs O'C
