Cross Country


I had butterflies in my stomach on the day of the Cross Country. I came 7th last year. I wanted to come under that number this year.
We sat on tarpaulins because the grass was wet. The year six girls started first and the year six boys went next. Then it was our turn. We lined up. Dave went, “On your marks, get set.” SLAM, Dave hit the blocks together and I sprinted. I ran past heaps of people. The parents cheered me on when I was running. When I was half way I had the stitch.
Everyone in the school participated. I came sixth in the Cross Country. I was disappointed that I only came one under my number. I hope I come under sixth next year.

Kangaroos

Kangaroos are large animals that live in Australia. Kangaroos are marsupials, not mammals. When they are born they are only as small as a bee. When they are born they climb up to the pouch and sleep until they are 5 months old. When they are about 5 months old they can first jump. When they are getting chased they drop their joeys and run off then come back to get the joey. Kangaroos protect themselves in many different ways. Kangaroos stay in a mob so one Kangaroo can keep a lookout when they are eating.
