OLIVIA TALKS TOUR MOON During Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour, there’s a part in the show where she sits on a huge moon and flies around the stadium. When asked how she came up with such a cool idea, this is what she said: “I just wanted an aspect of the show where I could really connect with the audience, even the people who were further in the back or higher up. I didn’t want to just interact with the pit, so that was a fun way to do it,” she explained. “It was one of my favourite parts of the show. It was just really nice to feel connected to everyone and for everyone to feel like they were a part of the show.” GRACIE’S DREAM COME TRUE One…

ALL ABOUT THE... FROg ● There are approximately 4740 species of frogs around the entire world. ● Frogs mainly live on insects and small animals like earthworms and spiders. ● Frogs don't need to drink the way we do; they absorb water through their permeable skin. This means that their skin has openings that liquids can pass through. ● The world's tiniest frogs are smaller than a five cent coin, and the largest frog can grow to be longer than 30 centimetres and weigh over three kilos. ● Many frogs can jump up to 20 times their own height.

BRIDGE FEAR While visiting family friends in Sydney, my family decided to do the Bridge Climb, where you walk over the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. When I got to the bottom of the first pylon, I freaked out and couldn’t go any further. Because all the climbers were linked to the handrail for safety, everyone behind me, including all my family, had to walk back so I could get off. My brother complained and teased me all the way back. It was very embarrassing, but my feet just didn’t want to climb any further up the bridge! MIA, 11, SA DIVING DISASTER Our swimming teacher took us diving off one of those proper diving boards. While I was waiting for my turn, I was so nervous that I…
