Why you should go to Alaska for your Holiday.

Why Mrs Roil Should go to Alaska.   


If you have just entered your school holidays and you want to go to Alaska. I am going to tell you all about it. Alaska is an ice wonderland with all of its sea creatures and penguins that help and relate. They also have the Northen Lights to see over the sea on the mountains. In here you will see what animals they have,fun things to do and a little bit of history.


Here are some general facts of Alaska. It was owned by Russia for many of years and the United States brought it from Russia for 7.2 million dollars. It is the 49th state and became a part of the USA in 1959. Since then they have made a state motto: North to the future. There state flag was made in a competition back in 1927 and they had over 700 entries. Alaska got its name from the Russians . It is short for Alakshak. They have a governor called Sean Parnell and he has been the governor of Alaska since 2007.



Alaska has many things to pick and do all around the state but here are some that are famous and that you and  your kids might enjoy. Alaska Zoo, The zoo is in Anchorage Alaska and spread over 25 acres. They have 200,000 people every year over there bit of land and have a wide range of animals. The next one is Alaska Sealife Center. It is mainly an aquarium hut with heaps of Seals swimming around in extra large tanks and rated 3 stars. Last but  not least is White Pass. It is on the Boundary Ranges of the Coast Mountains and they have excursions through the valley  on a steam locomotive  going through tight gaps.


Alaska has millions of animals. Has a wide range with even 13 hard to get animals. Some belong to the Ice Wonderland and some belong in the wide open jungle of Alaska. Heaps like to hibernate in the winter. First of there is the bear family:  Black Bear, Brown Bear and Polar Bear. They all like to hibernate in the winter. Next is the lovely orca that likes to splash and get away from another Alaskan animal the Bald Eagle as it tries to take fresh flesh.  Out in the mountain you will see the goat of the cliffs the wonderful Mountain goat. He will have his friends the Dav Sheep and Moose. If you are running a Muskox, Wolverine or Wolf might be behind you.

This is all why you should go to the ice wonderland of Alaska because as you can see that Alaska is a good place to go to and you will love it for sure. You might even see some of these wonderful animals or even the governor Sean Parnell. They also have the northen lights what is very exciting.

The Wolf In The Wardrobe Book Report

The Wolf In The Wardrobe


The Wolf In The Wardrobe is a book by Susan Brocker. This is about a boy named Finn.  He lives with his mother and he goes and  visits his Dad and sees a circus and the act is a clown with 2 wolves. Lupas and Lupa. He goes back and comes back from school and there is his coo coo Nana Eva  and she has put the remote in the microwave. He goes out for his paper run and he sees a hit wolf in a car accident and he immediately helps out. Finn looks carefully and finds out that it is the wolf from the circus Lupa. He takes her to the vet and they operate on her. He takes Lupa home and what will happen then? You will have to find out!!!


I would give this book 4-1/2 stars because it had really great detail and structure but not really good because she did make some parts that didn’t make sense when she jumped to conclusion and went to fast. Susan Brocker is a good writer and all but I would still give this an 4.5!

This is a Childs Fiction book so if you want to get it out you will have to go there.  It does have some scary part in it so I wouldn’t read it to 5 year olds. I would go to 8+

Other books from Susan Brocker:
  • Saving Sam
  • Restless Spirit
  • Brave Bess
  • ANZAC Horses
  • Dream of Warriors.

They will be under Childrens Fiction also.
