About this word search
Sheep in New Zealand get a haircut once a year, and that is called shearing. The shearer uses shears to cut the wool off in one big fleece, and a farm dog helps bring the sheep in. The wool is packed into a big bale.
The grid is ten by ten and every word runs from left to right or from top to bottom. Shears and fleece are the longest with six letters. Dog and ram have only three letters. Sheep, shears and shed all start with SHE, so look closely.
When the words are found, children can feel a bit of wool or a woolly jumper and talk about where it came from. Drawing a sheep before and after shearing is great fun.
