Cross Country

Last Thursday it was the Cross Country. The whole school participated in it. My Mum and Dad, Zoe’s Mum and Dad and Grandma came to watch me. Some of us had to get changed before the special event.

The year six girls went first and it ended with the year zero boys. Finally it was my turn. I had butterflies in my tummy as usual. Soon Dave smashed the two blocks of wood together. I ran and before I knew it I was going up the stairs.

Meanwhile Viv told me I came fifteenth. I was proud of myself.

Kangaroos

Kangaroos are large animals that live in parts of Australia. You can see kangaroos in zoos.

Kangaroos seem to be mammals but they are actually marsupials. Joeys and other marsupials are about a centimetre long when they are born. They cannot see and its back legs have not grown yet but it can smell and its arms are very strong. As soon as it is born it pulls itself up into its mothers pouch and finds the milk to drink. Male kangaroos are the head of the mob. A mob is a large group of kangaroos. If another kangaroo tries to overtake being the leader of the mob they both fight each other.
