Elvina's Report Text

Kangaroos are marsupial animals found only in Australia and have smaller relatives called wallabies. They have short front legs but very long back legs and tails used for jumping. The largest kangaroos can jump over 8 meters and run over 45 kph. Female kangaroos have pouches where tiny newborns will crawl and spend their first 5 months. Lightning is a sudden flash of electricity between clouds or from cloud to ground, which can be several miles long. The intense heat of lightning causes air to expand with a loud blast of thunder. Lightning occurs in storms as moisture rises and static electricity builds until discharging as lightning.

What is a kangaroo?

A kangaroo is an animal found only in Australia, although it has a smaller relative, called a
wallaby, which lives on the Australian island of Tasmania and also in New Guinea. Kangaroos
eat grass and plants. They have short front legs, but very long, and very strong back legs and a
tail. These they use for sitting up on and for jumping. Kangaroos have been known to make
forward jumps of over eight metres, and leap across fences more than three metres high. They
can also run at speeds of over 45 kilometres per hour. The largest kangaroos are the Great Grey
Kangaroo and the Red Kangaroo. Adults grow to a length of 1.60 metres and weigh over 90
kilos. Kangaroos are marsupials. This means that the female kangaroo has an external pouch on
the front of her body. A baby kangaroo is very tiny when it is born, and it crawls at once into
this pouch where it spends its first five months of life.

New Guinea.

Description: Kangaroos eat grass and plants. They have short front legs, but very long, and very
strong back legs and a tail. These they use for sitting up on and for jumping. Kangaroos have
been known to make forward jumps of over eight metres, and leap across fences more than three
metres high. They can also run at speeds of over 45 kilometres per hour. The largest kangaroos
are the Great Grey Kangaroo and the Red Kangaroo. Adults grow to a length of 1.60 metres and
weigh over 90 kilos. Kangaroos are marsupials. This means that the female kangaroo has an
external pouch on the front of her body. A baby kangaroo is very tiny when it is born, and it
crawls at once into this pouch where it spends its first five months of life.

Language Feature:

1. Use of general nouns, eg A kangaroo, Kangaroos, A baby kangaroo.

2. Use of linking verbs to describe features, eg Kangaroos are marsupials. This means that
the female kangaroo has an external pouch on the front of her body. A baby kangaroo is
very tiny when it is born, and it crawls at once into this pouch where it spends its first
five months of life.

3. Some use of action verbs when describing behaviour, eg Kangaroos have been known to
make forward jumps of over eight metres, and leap across fences more than three
metres high.

4. Use of timeless present tense to indicate usualness, eg eat , use, has, is

5. Use of technical terms, eg Kangaroos are marsupials. This means that the female
kangaroo has an external pouch on the front of her body.

6. Use of paragraphs with topic sentences to organise bundles of information; repeated


naming of the topic as the beginning focus of the clause: A kangaroo and Kangaroos.

7. Descriptive language: factual and precise what they look like eg short front legs, but very
long, and very strong back legs and a tail

8. what they have eg that the female kangaroo has an external pouch on the front of her
body

9. what they do eg These they use for sitting up on and for jumping and it crawls at once

a smaller relative, called a wallaby and The largest kangaroos are the Great Grey
Kangaroo and the Red Kangaroo.
What is thunder and lightning?

Lightning is a sudden, violent flash of electricity between a cloud and the ground, or from cloud
to cloud. A lightning flash, or bolt, can be several miles long. It is so hot, with an average
temperature of 34,000° Centigrade, that the air around it suddenly expands with a loud blast.
This is the thunder we hear. Lightning occurs in hot, wet storms. Moist air is driven up to a great
height. It forms a type of cloud called cumulo-nimbus. When the cloud rises high enough the
moisture freezes and ice crystals and snowflakes are formed. These begin to fall, turning to rain
on the way down. This rain meets more moist air rising, and it is the friction between them
which produces static electricity. When a cloud is fully charged with this electricity, it discharges
it as a lightning flash.
