We came in from lunch today to find yet another surprise left for us in our classrooms.  Two lovely cuddly kangaroos and their babies were waiting for us!  Who left these for us you may ask ?

It was Harry, our lovely Saint Nicholas friend who has returned from a well earned holiday in Australia!

Thank you to Harry for your kindness ! We were so happy with our gift that we decided to learn lots about kangaroos.  We learnt that :

• Kangaroos are found in Australia.
• Kangaroos can hop around quickly on two legs or walk around slowly on all four.
• Kangaroos can’t walk backwards.
• Kangaroos have very powerful legs and can be dangerous at times.
• Kangaroos can jump very high, sometimes three times their own height.
• Kangaroos can swim.
• Most kangaroos eat grass.
• Baby kangaroos are known as ‘joeys’.
