One Day School

It was a Thursday morning and our O.D.S. class was starting. We usually start with discussion and compulsory. This week’s topic was the history of Loos. Mum teaches us. We discussed what would happen if there were no loos and what people used when loos weren’t invented.

After break it was Write/Research/Explore. That is when we get our home sheets and tick the choices we want to do. This bit is the most interesting bit for me. I decided to read “Skeleton on the Dunny” and write a humerous story about going to a dunny.

Everyone’s favourite part is Make/Do/Create. But discussion is first. We talked about why we need to keep the toilet lid up. Finally it was Make/Do/Create. Mum read out the choices. I decided to make a toilet seat. I put shapes, flowers and people on mine and a label saying how much it is, what it is called and the barcode.

Later on it was time to share our work. Mum almost missed out on me. At the end we tidied up. I can’t wait until next Thursday.

Kangaroos

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

Kangaroos are not normal mammals. When a kangaroo baby is born it’s as big as a bean. The babies will stay in their mother’s pouch until they are twelve months old. Once the baby kangaroo is older it is called a joey.

If there is danger the mother drops the baby in a safe spot because the mother can’t run fast when the joey is in its mother’s pouch.

Kangaroos move in a strange way. Kangaroos’ small arms are not used for walking. The boss boxes any other male kangaroo that wants to be the boss. They fight by boxing and scratching.

Kangaroos are very smart.
