KOALA LOU and COMIC LIFE

We have been reading KOALA LOU, Mem Fox's beautiful story about LOVE.

In the story, Koala Lou doesn't think her mother loves her anymore because she no longer says
"Koala Lou, I DO LOVE YOU!"
So Koala Lou decides to enter the gumtree climbing event at the Bush Olympics. She thinks that if she wins her mother will love her and once again say..
"Koala Lou, I DO LOVE YOU!"
Reading about Koala Lou training for her event got us wondering.

What other events would be at the Bush Olympics?
What other animals would be competing?

In pairs we chose an Australian animal and thought about how it moved and behaved. Then we could imagine what event it might compete in.

Next we imagined what training the animal would need to do.

We drew five pictures of the training in Kids Pix.

Then we chose a template in Comic Life and placed our Kids PIx pictures into it.

Last, we imagined what the animal would be saying and added some speech bubbles.

Here is the Comic Life slide that Johanna and Tierney did.

Do you have any ideas for what animals and events could be at the Bush Olympics? Leave us a comment.
We'll try to put your ideas in Comic Life.
