It all starts as a baby, then after about two years, the calf is weaned, which means it’s mother doesn't let
it have milk anymore. Then it starts becoming more independent. The boys leave the herd and try to get
their own herd. The girls stay in the herd and the life cycle starts all over again.

African Elephants live in the grasslands and rainforests of Africa. The grasslands provide enough food
and water for the herd, but throughout droughts, they may struggle. In the rainforest, they normally have
enough food and water, but after floods, the food might be washed away by flooded streams and ponds.

The Matariki Comet Crash!
Once upon a time, the Matariki stars were chillin it the comet taxi that will take then to there place for the
Maori celebration, Matariki. Then, a meteor suddenly pulled up in front of them and the comet crashed
into the meteor. Waiti, Waita, Ururangi, Tupu-a-Nuku, Tupu-a-rangi, Waipumarangi, and Matariki were
screaming their heads off. When the comet taxi finally crashed into the moon, all seven sisters were
injured. Waiti had a broken toe, Waita was unconscious, Ururangi had a broken arm, Tupu-a-Nuku had a
few grazes, Tupu-a-rangi had a broken leg, Waipumarangi had a dislocated shoulder, and Matariki had a
broken spine. Tupu-a-nuku got up and checked on her sisters. When she finally got to Matariki, all the
sisters were patched up and ready to go the the Matariki celebration. “I can’t go sisters. Find someone
else this year please.” said Matariki. The sisters cried their hearts out. Waita called the star ambulance
and the doctors said she couldn't go to Matariki. The sisters were heartbroken, but determined to find a
replacement. They searched, and searched the whole Galaxy, and finally found a star that was as bright
as Matariki. Her name was Kotahi, which means bright one. They explained to Kotahi what had
happened, and she said she would take Matariki’s place for the year. The celebration was a big hit, all the
humans down on earth had a wonderful time. Kotahi remaned the sisters friend for the rest of time.
From then on, every Matariki, Kotahi took her place close to the sisters. She was not officially a Matariki
star, but she was in the sisters hearts.
