Who Is the Kangaroo Kid?

The Kangaroo Kid’s real name is Harry Hopper. When he was little, Harry loved animals. One day he was always visiting his local zoo and he slipped underneath the ‘Do Not Enter: Dangerous Animals’ sign. One of the infected kangaroos was startled by Harry and bit him on the leg. After a few days with a bit of a limp, Harry transformed into the Kangaroo Kid: his ears grew long, his face grew furry, and he had an urge to hop! In fact, his desperation to bounce became so great that he even bought a pair of top-of-the-range jumping stilts to make his jumps even more ‘super’.

Kangaroo Kid: A Superhero

Big Superhero Facts• Kangaroo Kid can talk to other kangaroos.

• You can often find him on top of Sydney Harbour Bridge in Sydney, Australia.

• Kangaroo Kid’s weakness is tomatoes. He eats every single one in sight!

Superpowers

With his stilts, the Kangaroo Kid can leap up to 5000 metres; his super speed makes him difficult to catch. He also has a bottomless

magical pouch, which he can put people into and bound off into the distance. He uses his powers to oppose crime and catch villains.

Friends and Enemies

The Kangaroo Kid is young, and still visits home regularly to spend time with his family. His enemy is Boomerang Bob, whose boomerang moves faster than a speeding bullet. Bob wants to throw his boomerang around the world so fast that time will be reversed, and will make him young again.

The Kid’s partner in crime is his best friend, Euan Aardvark. He often covers up for the Kangaroo Kid by making excuses when the brave superhero is away defeating criminals and protecting the people of Sydney.

2. Matching games.

3. Tic Tac Toe. Write your list words on cards. Each player selects a spelling word from the pile. If they spell it correctly they place an x or o on the Tic Tac Toe board.

Be creative and make your own.

Share or play with a friend using your grade list words.

Take a picture of your game and share it with the class on Google Stream.

The Most Disgusting Sandwich in the World

The stench was enough to make young children cry to their parents. It was like someone who opened the compost bin and stuck my head inside. The sticky, brown liquid looked like the remains at the bottom of the garbage bin. Tiny ants covered the bruised, over-ripe strawberries and just one prod with your finger would send shivers up your arm. What looked like brown cardboard with drawn on green dots was in fact the two slices of stale, mouldy. Never in a million years should this be eaten.

Write your own paragraph for The Most Disgusting Sandwich in the World.

- Minimum of 6 sentences. - Must include a topic sentence and a concluding sentence.
