Liam writes . . .
Today a local man brought in a baby wombat to show the people in our school. We got to pat the wombat.
Everyone was amazed to see a wombat. They asked if it was a boy or a girl. She is a girl called Rosie.
When we put Rosie on the floor she crawled around.
We learned wombats eat lots and lots of grass, they live in holes and have long claws to dig the holes and for finding roots to eat.
Lara was inspired to write a story about a magical wombat . . .
I’m Lucy a girl from the bush. I have a magical cloud. Whatever I want I get. I don’t use the magical cloud for greedy I only use it for good.
One day I wished the cloud would bring me a wombat.
She was so cute when I saw her. I had to hide her from Mum and Dad, of course they do not know.
I am so happy.
All I wanted was a happy life!
Kailey also put a fantasy spin on her wombat story . . .
“Hello” said Katie to her friend as they were coming through the door.
“I can’t wait until Club Gift time,” she whispered to herself.
It was gifting pet day. They had to use their money to buy a pet and gift it.
First it was Rosie’s turn to give Bella hers.She got a little kitten. Now it’s Katana’s turn to give Ava her gift. Her gift was a hamster.
Now Seraphina has to give me a gift. Mine is a wombat!
Dear Learning Stars,
I think that is really cool that your class got to pet a real wombat! I always wanted to pet one before. I wish I could be there!

Dear Learning Stars,
I have never seen a wombat before. It looks like a combination of a squirrel and a a cat. Do people have wombats for pets? Are they friendly?

Hi Theo,
Wombats are quite unique. They are like a koala bear but wombats live on the ground and koala bears live in trees.
We will try and get some information and more pictures about wombats for you.
