BRILLIANT BOOKWORM Name: Aarya Heroic feat: She raised $9678 for MS Readathon 2020, making her the Top Kid fundraiser! FAST FOUR WITH AARYA K-Z: Hello Aarya! How did you find out about the MS Readathon and why did you join? A: Last year in school, we got a note about the MS Readathon. I discussed it with my mum, and she helped me join. I had to explain what MS is to my mum. I love to help people who need support. I also read nonstop, so I took my reading to the next level by helping people while continuing my passion for reading. This year was my second time participating in the MS Readathon. I am definitely participating in the MS Readathon again next year, to read more books…

BLUE-TONGUE LIZARDS Blue-tongue lizards are found all over Australia, and you might be lucky enough to spot a few visiting your backyard. These reptiles are talented tricksters and great at bluffing! In the animal kingdom, bright colours (like blue) are often a venomous warning sign to other creatures. Blue-tongue lizards will puff themselves up to appear even bigger when they are threatened, and open their mouth wide to hiss and show their blue tongue. This will usually scare any predators or curious animals away! Like most lizards, blue-tongue lizards…

WINNING AT THE ICC T20 WORLD CUP IN FRONT OF 85,000 PEOPLE AT THE MCG… Felt amazing. I was out on the field with my best friends, playing the game I love in front of so many people.
