Mr. Leuzzi, Ms. Melissa and the grade 1/2 

class were about to embark on a journey. 

Their journey was to begin in Australia. 

Australia is called the land down under 

because it is below the equator. It is one of 

the seven continents of the world. It is also a 

country.

They quickly packed their suitcase and headed to the 

airport. At the airport, each person had to show their 

passport to the officer to get checked. The officer said 

" Please take out your passports. Don't forget 

everyone traveling to another country needs their 

passport." Nicole said " I always wanted to go to 

Sydney, Australia. It`s a city." as she waved it around. 

After the officer checked all the passports, they 

entered the airplane to enjoy the 11 hour flight (China 

to Australia). 

When Ms. Leuzzi, Ms. Melissa and the whole 

grade 1/2 class stepped out of the airplane, 

they couldn't help but notice that the weather 

in Australia is warm and pleasant. It was 20 

degrees Celsius on that wonderful day in 

Sydney, Australia. 

The warmest months in Australia happen 

when we are having winter in Canada. In 

December, January and March it can get up to 

26 degrees Celsius in the city. 

Aliya said " I heard that have beautiful 

beaches in Australia. I hope we have go visit 

one of them." 

Savannah was looking at how the people 

dress. 

The girls and women in Australia dress in 

denim shorts, skirts and summer dresses for 

those that are around or near the beaches.

While those in cities like casual or formal 

dresses. 

Australian boys and men wear tee shirts, 

board shorts, denim shorts, and hats.

As we were walking, we saw many animals 

that live only in Australia and nowhere else in 

the world.

We spotted some of the most famous animals 

in Australia. They are called marsupials. A 

marsupial is a mammal that has a pouch to 

carry its young. 

Kaylee said "Everyone look I see a kangaroo." 

with a big smile. The kangaroo hopped next to 

Kaylee. She decided to name the Kangaroo, Roo-

Roo. Inside the kangaroo's pouch was a joey. Baby 

kangaroos are known as ‘joeys’.

The Kangaroo liked her so much that she 

allowed Kaylee to sit on her as she jumped 

around. A Kangaroo can jump as high as 30 feet in 

the air.   

Kangaroos can’t walk backwards.

Kangaroos can jump very high, sometimes 

three times their own height.

Kangaroos can swim.

Most kangaroos eat grass.
