School Journal, Part 4, Number 1, 2006 Commissioned by the Ministry of Education, New Zealand Offline Resource
The articles in this issue look at the reasons why we blush, and at how to cater for the staff at Scott Base in Antarctica. The four stories feature a Pasifika boy facing big lifestyle changes, a retold folk tale about a wise adviser who helps his king meet an impossible demand, shopping with a mother who challenges her kids to add up prices and estimate quantities, and a space journey in a far future. The poem looks at dealing bravely and imaginatively with cancer. See link below for Parts 3 and 4 teachers' notes. [ Metadata record ]
