Your daily kids news podcast. Looks like those NAPLAN results are out, and while some kids are celebrating, others are scratching their heads. Turns out, commas and verbs are tricky! Experts are on the case, trying to figure out how to boost those scores. Remember, it's just a test—your creativity and kindness can't be measured by dots on a page! Two astronauts are stuck on the International Space Station longer than expected—like, way longer. Their spacecraft, the Starliner, is having some hiccups. But don't worry, they’ve settled in just fine with the other space residents, even sharing some deodorant! And hey, they’ve got front-row seats to the Northern Lights from space! In a wild twist, scientists in Western Australia are whipping up cane toad casseroles—but not for humans! They're teaching crocodiles that toads are a no-go snack by making them feel queasy after a taste. It's all about keeping the ecosystem balanced and those crocs safe. A fake story about a UK prison for rioters tricked even Elon Musk. It just goes to show, you can’t trust everything you see online. Remember: Stop, Think, and Check before sharing.
