Tiddalik the Frog From the passages below, find the nouns, verbs, adjectives, pronouns and direct speech. Colour: Nouns = Red

Verbs = Orange Adjectives = Blue

Pronouns = Green Direct Speech = Yellow

Long, long ago in Australia, there lived a giant frog called Tiddalik.

Tiddalik had been sleeping for many nights and many days. When he woke up

he yawned, stretched and said, “I’m thirsty. I need a drink.”

Deep under the ground, the platypus heard the wild dances and raucous songs.

Now, the platypus is soft and furry like a wombat, but has a duck’s bill and duck’s

feet and it is a creature that keeps itself to itself. The platypus had been asleep. She

did not know that Tiddalik had drunk up all the water, every drop. The platypus came out

of her hole to find out what all the noise was

about. She was sleepy, cross, and determined. She looked at Tiddalik lying on the ground.

She went right up to him. “You have woken me up,” she said. “You have disturbed my sleep.”

Suddenly Tiddalik laughed. He laughed and laughed and laughed. He roared and

bellowed and hooted with laughter. He shrieked and howled and screamed with

laughter. He giggled and gurgled and choked with laughter. And as he laughed, lakes and

rivers and streams and water holes of water came streaming and pouring from his mouth.

Soon the lakes and rivers and streams and water holes were full again. The trees

flourished and the grass grew. All the animals drank and drank. Everything was refreshed.

“Thank you, Platypus,” the wise wombat said. “It was you who made Tiddalik laugh.”

Week 2 Monday Writing Task Tiddalik The Frog

Write a recount of the story, ‘Tiddalik the Frog’. Remember to include the beginning middle and end. Try to use interesting adjectives to describe the animals.

Grade 2 Reading Comprehension Worksheet

Reading and Math for K-5 © www.k5learning.com

Read the short story. Then answer each question.

Sharks What has fins, sharp teeth, and swims in the ocean? A shark!

Sharks have been around for a very long time. Sharks have lived in the oceans even before dinosaurs roamed the earth! Sharks are fish, and there are over 400 types of sharks. When they have babies, the babies are called pups.

Sharks lose their teeth, like humans, but they don’t just lose their baby teeth. They lose teeth throughout their lives. When a shark loses a tooth, a tooth from another row of teeth will move into its place. New teeth are always growing. Most sharks are carnivores, so they feed on other animals, like fish or seals.

Sharks might look scary, but they are not usually dangerous to people. People are more dangerous to sharks, since people hunt sharks. To be safe, though, it is a good idea to leave sharks alone if you see them!

Week 2 Friday Writing Task

Most visitors are a little shocked (to put it mildly) when they arrive at Animal Town. Despite the fact that the name of the town gives a slight indication to passers-by that the inhabitants of the town are ‘not normal’, it’s as if people don’t believe things until they see them with their own eyes!

Imagine you are a visitor in Animal Town. Try to describe your experience. ___________________________________________________________________

Friday - PD/Health

Task 1: Have a look at the 5 ways to a healthy lifestyle poster. Have a think about some of the things you could do or already do to contribute to a healthy lifestyle.

Task 2: Make up your own chart to tally each day. E.g. How many times you drink water, are active, eating fruit etc. Maybe you could draw pictures each time you do something rather than just ticking. Or you could find pictures from old catalogues or magazines to glue down.
