Kwax is the wetland expert because this where he enjoys spending his time. He chats about the great variety of plants growing in the moist areas around and in the waters of the wetlands. As far as biodiversity is concerned, our wetlands are one of the most important biomes. Unfortunately there are almost all under threat, especially those located near the coast. Facto always though that wetlands were simply muddy pools with plants, but he learns from the Flixies that wetlands are very, very important to people and animals!

Flixies addresses two very important challenges in our Education System, namely, reading without comprehension and environmental issues. Seven critical Thinking Skills have been identified through which this series endeavours to teach reading comprehension in the intermediate phase.

The Teacher’s Guide includes:

• An explanation of the teaching strategy used
• An explanation of which comprehension strategy is used and which step of the teaching strategy should be applied in that specific book.
• Highlights in the text, with a side-panel modelling the teaching strategy and highlighting key points in the text for application.
• Key words are provided to display and use in the introductory discussion.
• Worksheets with comprehension activities based on the story are added to the end of the guide

We call living things on Earth, crew members and not passengers…

Flex and Dux tells us about the earth that is covered by a thin layer of atmosphere and stays in space exactly the right distance from the sun, in order to carry all living things and to keep them alive.

They are reminded that the earth is exactly the right distance from the sun and therefore has the precise temperature to support and sustain life – it’s neither too cold nor too hot.

The Flixies share an entertaining time together in the wetlands. Kwax and Crox, the two water Flixies, stage a play act as though they are some of the ancient lobe-finned fish that first stuck their heads out of water. They crawl about in the muddy waters and wonder it must be like to live on dry land. And so the Flixies learn about all the problems that vertebrates possibly had to face with the transition from life in water to life on land…

Ons planeet Aarde is in die nood en jong lesers en hul opvoeders moet bewus gemaak word van biodiversiteit en ons almal se verantwoordelikheid om te sorg vir die kwaliteit van lewe op Aarde.
