Cross country

It was Thursday, the day of the Cross Country. In room five people were getting ready. Slowly we got out to the front field. We got into our lines.
The year sixes went off to the starting line first. We had to be patient for the year threes’ turn to go. Dave smashed the blocks together. I ran my hardest at the start. A little bit later the track got a little bit zig-zag. All the people were behind me and I noticed that I was in front. After that I was up the stairs. Then I saw my Dad. Someone took a picture of me when I got to the corner. I kept on going.
I watched all the little people go. I saw my buddy go. After it was the open race. I felt a bit scared then I was in the open. I went in it and I came eleventh. The track was exactly the same.
I love special events like Cross Country.

Kangaroos

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

Kangaroos can move very quickly. Also they jump with their tails up.

Kangaroos are not normal mammals, they are marsupials. Marsupials have pouches and milk. Kangaroo babies are called joeys. When the baby has gone too far the mother calls the joey back.

The baby goes in the pouch head first then it does a flip in its mother’s pouch. When a mother has a dingo running after it with its baby in its pouch she lets it go in a good hiding spot. At night the mother comes and finds the joey. When the baby kangaroo is born it holds onto its mother’s fur up into her pouch.
