In issue eight we help our friend Sprocket give a lesson about adverbs and modal verbs (whether he liked it or not!) and we help Detective Duke get to the bottom of his missing-swimming-trunks mystery while he’s on holiday in France. Jessica is visited again by Miriam the friendly nightmare where she teaches her scary friend about classifying living things. Meanwhile Basil and Ernie explore written methods of addition and subtraction and then Ricky Rhino turns his hand to selling Real Estate where his customers find out that size isn’t everything. We go Victorian in the next instalment of “Picture-It” and Gamer Girl returns to one of her favourite flying puzzle games involving coordinates. Beechboy Barkley listens to some plants to learn about their needs and different parts (you should try it sometime). Piwi the Posh Kiwi builds some words using root words and Carl the Constipated Tadpole becomes self aware about the importance of Self Awarenessin the latest PSHE lesson. Cob the Impossible Blob explains the importance and structure of planning paragraphs and we join Agent Ang on a sibling rivalry mission that involves examining switches, brightness, and loudness. Issue eight also has posters on the topics of the Roots of Words, Vertebrates, and The Victorian Age.
