This week, discover why shopping at op shops is such a great idea, who's getting free swimming lessons, how many animals are weighed at the London Zoo and what that bright light was that swooped across WA and ended with a big bang!
We're talking balloons! Not the party kind, the kind that people go for rides in on special occasions! We're also going into the wild Aussie bush. It's big, beautiful and fun place to explore, but it can be a pretty tough place for cute Aussie creatures. That's why some people in New South Wales opened up a wildlife rescue centre. This week we're also chatting about your favourite books, learning about the Tasmanian Devil, and going for quick dip in the Great Barrier Reef.
See if you can guess which animal this story is about. It's got a tail and it's grey. It has ginormous feet. In fact, all over it's large. It drinks through a long nose called a trunk. Can you guess which animal we're talking about? We also meet Keefer the skateboarder who has the world's biggest skateboard ramp and two robots going in opposite directions - one far beneath the ocean and the other far into outer space to visit the sun!
This week, discover something amazing that Banksia Bees in Tasmania can make that will help keep our environment clean. Ruby, Eliza and Heidi live on a farm and tell us about the hard work they do to keep the farm animals fed while there is a drought.
This week, we're talking tech. What happens to your computer when it doesn't work anymore? Ruby's chatting to kids about why they love their friends, and meeting others who are doing a Readathon. Ruby's also checking out a mystery about some missing penguins, and catching up with a girl who's just come home from space camp!
It's all about animals! From rescuing four playful dolphins who got stranded on sand when the tide went out, to a huge doggy party for 361 golden retrievers, Ruby has this week's favourite news stories covered. Along the way, Ruby finds out what school uniforms are like and what dust is made of.
