Monday Maths
After practising what left, right, under, above, next to, in be-
tween, forwards and backwards mean you can play a range of
games. You can use a blindfold and move from one place to the
other just following verbal instructions which use this positional
language. You can play a game ordering coins, for example,
“place the 1p to the left of the 50p” or “put the 50p above the 1p
and to the left of the 10p”. You could also play a game where
you will instruct a partner to draw something only using shapes.
For example to draw a face: “in the middle of the page draw a
circle, inside the circle near the top and to the left draw a smaller
circle, now draw another circle to the right of the smaller circle
etc..”. You can also complete the shape colouring activity on
page 8.

Kangaroo
For many people, the Australian outback means only one thing – kangaroos! These marsupials can leap 9 m in a single jump, keep their babies warm in cosy pouches and live in groups known as mobs. Kangaroos and their relatives are the only animals that use hopping as their primary method of travel but they are una-ble to walk backwards! Kangaroos have short, soft coats with powerful legs, tall ears, large feet and a long tail. There are 4 main species of Kangaroo. Red Kangaroos are the largest species and live in central Australia.
Kangaroos generally live in small groups called ‘mobs’ with around 10 females and their Joeys and one or two males. In areas with lots of food there are sometimes huge gatherings of around 1,500 Kangaroos!
Kangaroos are herbivores. They eat grasses and flowering plants. They are able to survive without water in the dry outback for a long time. They get a lot of their water from eating plants.
Kangaroos are active at dawn and dusk or at night, spending the majority of their time foraging for food. A baby kangaroo is called a Joey – they are tiny when they are born (about 2.5 cm long). Their first chal-lenge is to crawl through their mother’s fur to her pouch, where they attach and feed.
Watch this video with an adult and see if you can learn anymore interesting facts about the kangaroo.

Status:
All sea turtles are protected by the
Endangered Species Act, which lists all
species of turtles as endangered except
the loggerhead, which is listed as threat-
ened.
Description:
Marine turtles are one of the earth's most
ancient creatures. There are seven
species of sea turtles. They grow between
91cm to 109cm and weigh between 90kg
to 136kg.
Range:
Sea turtles are found in warm waters
throughout the world and migrate
hundreds of miles between their nesting
and feeding grounds.
Diet:
Sea turtles eat jellyfish, seaweed, crabs,
shrimp, snails, algae and molluscs.
Behaviour:
Sea turtles spend most of their time in the water
as travelling on land is difficult for them. They
come to the shore to lay their eggs.
Lifespan:
Most sea turtles live approximately 15 to 20
years and may live to be 80 years old.

Tasmanian Devils – The Land Cleaners
In cartoons, the Tasmanian devil tears through forests destroying everything in its path. In
real life, though, these animals are small and slow moving. They only weigh 13 to 18
pounds which is about the size of a small dog. Tasmanian devils are marsupials. They live
in only one place in the world – Tasmania which is an island off the coast of Australia.
Tasmanian devils have a fierce reputation. Early settlers in Australia did not like them
because they ate sheep but Tasmanian devils are good because they eat dead animals
and mice which helps keep the land clean. They have very sharp teeth so they can eat
almost the whole of an animal, even its bones! Tasmanian devils are nocturnal so they
hunt for their food during the night.
