A few weekends a go Clifford went on another trip. This time it was a road trip through the North Island of New Zealand. Ms Tanner took him. Here are some of his adventures.








Do you know where each place is that Clifford visited?

Basic Facts

We recently resat a basic facts test we had sat earlier this year. The results were so much better. We have been using this site to help us, and I think it is a great site because you can alter the speed, and the difficulty.

Clifford In the USA


Clifford stopped off in Washington D.C. He want to Capitol Hill. The President of the U.S.A wasn't home so he couldn't have a cup of tea with him but he enjoyed seeing the Whitehouse, anyway.

Clifford In France

Bonjour!
Did you know Clifford visited France with Daniel, his Mum and his Dad?
Here are some highlights of his time there.
Here is Clifford infront of a very famous French structure. Do you know which one. Here is some information about it. http://www.rphs.devisland.net/zach/funfacts.htm


 Clifford and Daniel visited the place where Asterix was created! How awesome for an Asterix fan like Daniel.

 Clifford looking slightly lost by a famous french street sign. Your challenge is to find out more about it for Clifford.


Oh my goodness. Don't tell me you expected Clifford to eat snails? No? You ate them? Surely not?

Clifford's Big Trip-The Hong Kong Stop Over

 
Clifford has jet lag. He has just came back from a big overseas trip with Daniel. First he stopped off in Hong Kong. He went on a cable car, which makes Wellington's cable car look like a toy one!

Check out the view from the top of this cable car. The city down below is Hong Kong. Do you think the cloud is pollution?
This tall building is the International Financial Centre. It is quite a bit bigger than the Majestic Centre. How many floors do you think it has? Clifford knows :)

Further Adventures Of Clifford

 On April the 2nd Erinn rode all the way out to Pencarrow Lighthouse with her parents and brother. Here is Clifford at the Lighthouse looking exhausted!
Erinn and her family taking a break. Can you spot Clifford?

Not many people get to go to the top of Pencarrow Lighthouse , but Erinn and Clifford were very lucky. What do you think the lighthouse is used for?  Click here for some more information http://www.historicplaces.org.nz/placestovisit/lowernorthisland/pencarrowlighthouse.aspx
