Rosie Oooh, the 3D motion rides. Ones that feel like a roller-coaster but also have a giant screen! I can’t do rides that drop – a big no from me. LOL! Sandra My fave ride is The Haunted Mansion in Disneyland. It’s so cool and spooky but not scary. I refuse to go on ones that drop. TOO scary! Lights, camera, action! Izzy’s been busy filming something exciting for TG. Did you know, Izzy films all of TG’s YouTube videos? So Cool! Izzy I love water roller-coasters!

Spring is a special time, especially in Japan! During this season, locals flock to neighbourhood parks to celebrate the blooming of the cherry blossom trees, or sakura, in Japan. This spectacular event, known as Hanami (which roughly translates to ‘flower viewing’), dates back to at least 1,000 years when ancient nobles would watch the magic of the flowers unfold and write about their charm, making this festival a special one in their culture and history. Now days, you can find family and friends celebrating with a picnic beneath the pretty pink sight. A Cherry Blossom tree may only flower for about a week, which makes this beautiful event even more special. From then, the flowers begin to fall before the tree blooms once again in a year’s time. How cheer-ific!…

Helping hounds New research has proven that having a dog in the classroom lowers stress levels for primary school kids, OMG! UK researchers compared the stress levels of students that spent four weeks with a dog, to students that didn’t. The study found that spending 20 minutes with a doggo twice a week reduced more stress in students than other relaxation methods, like yoga! Aww, makes total sense. Time to get a classroom fur-friend, we think! Hehe. Octo legs! Oooh, new species alert! Scientists have discovered a fossil of an octopus in America. But this isn’t any ordinary octopus. Instead, this curious critter was found with not eight arms (like a regular octopus) but TEN arms, making it a ‘deca-pus’! The fossil is said to be 328 million years old,…

Hey Ally! How did you get into AFL? Growing up in Queensland, I actually started playing rugby league as a little five-year-old. It wasn’t until I got to high school that I first played AFL. My sister started playing in high school and wanting to be like your big sister, you start to copy her, so I joined when I was in Year 8 and never looked back since. What do you love most about the sport? I love the competitiveness and that it’s a bunch of different sports mixed into one. Also, making so many friends, and I actually enjoy the amount of running we have to do. You were part of the AAMI Clanger Buster Clinics, which were to help young players improve their skills. What are 3…
