I chose to be a Meerkat because I have a lot of things in common with this animal.

The meerkat and I like being together in a large family as it makes us feel safer.

The meerkat gets angry sometimes just like me. I shout at my friends and it hurts their ears.

I eat edible plants and meat and the meerkat eats plants and other animals.

A meerkat has a long tail and and I have long hair.

I practise training for my cross country and the baby meerkats practise training to defend themselves from predators.

Baby meerkats don’t like to share food and I don’t like to share my food with others because I will have nothing left.

Meerkats have 4 sharp teeth and I have 2 sharp teeth at the bottom 2 sharp teeth at the top.

     

In my class we are doing zentangle art. A zentangle is a picture with a hand and has doodles. But we do doodles that match our animal.
