Facto hears from the Flixies about a narrow strip of land near the coast of the Western and Southern Cape, where the most remarkable biome in the whole world can be found. It’s a biome that is so special and unique that it is considered one of the seven Plant Kingdoms of the world. Grandma Flox prepared special rainbow sosaties for the Flixies to nibble on while they listen to the wonderful story of the Cape Fynbos garden.

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.

We learn that plants, animals and humans, each one of them – no matter how big or small – has a niche (a place and task) to make life possible for all on Earth. The Flixies also learn about the cycle of meat eaters, plant eaters and decomposers!

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.

As Facto is sitting under his favourite tree, he receives a little note that comes fluttering down from the branches of the tree and lands between his feet. It’s a farewell letter from Flixies. Facto is downhearted, but he is also excited about everything that he has learned from the Flixies and the knowledge he has acquired about planet Earth. He sees the living things around him from a new perspective and realises that each living thing plays a vital role on this wonderful place that we call Earth.

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!

The Flixies talk about one of the most important natural resources, namely soil. They explain how important soils is to all plants, animals and humans, but they are also deeply concerned…

Although the earth is large and covered in soil, there is only a very small fertile layer where plants can grow and provide food for all living things. Flex uses a berry to explain this issue.

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.

We learn that plants, animals and humans, each one of them – no matter how big or small – has a niche (a place and task) to make life possible for all on Earth. The Flixies also learn about the cycle of meat eaters, plant eaters and decomposers!

The Flixies (and of course Facto) find out how wonderfully this ‘spaceship’ Earth is built and how it’s positioned in space so that different forms of life on Earth can be sustained. 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…

Die eerste groen plante het in water geleef. Omdat toestande op land baie anders is as in water, sou die oudste plante eenvoudig uitdroog en nie kon regop bly sonder die ondersteuning wat water bied nie. Facto leer hoe plante ontwikkel het sodat hulle, hulle op land kon vestig en watter plante op die ou end suksesvol was en oral op land begin groei het...

Animals have legs, tails, and wings. They have ears and noses, too. Learn all about animal body parts.

Die Flixie-stories is geskryf en word in die skole gebruik om twee groot krisisse aan te spreek: ’n omgewingskrisis en ’n geletterdheidskrisis. 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.
