Facto luister wat die Flixies te sê het oor water en hy hoor dat dit 'n wonderstof is! Geen lewe soos ons dit ken is moontlik sonder water nie. Dit is 'n wonderlike oplosmiddel, wat beteken dat die plante en diere se kos eers daarin moet oplos voordat dit deel van die plant of dier se liggaam kan word. Dit is ook 'n was- en spoelmiddel en dit koel af. Ons voorraad vars water wat bruikbaar is, is baie beperk en die Flixies verduidelik hoekom.

Alles wat op Aarde lewe, is ‘ruimteskip’ Aarde se bemanning en nie passasiers wat net kan saamry nie...

Ons leer dat plante en diere en mense elkeen, hoe klein of hoe groot ookal, 'n spesifieke nis ('n plek en 'n werkie) het om die aarde meer leefbaar te maak vir alles wat moet lewe. Die Flixies leer ook die lewensiklus van vleiseters, planteters en ontbinders!

Facto hoor interessante stories van groen plante – Ruimteskip Aarde se lugversorgers - wat sorg dat daar genoeg suurstof in die atmosfeer is en dat 'n ander giftige gas, kooldioksied, verwyder word. Hy leer by die Flixies van hoe plante ontwikkel het vanaf klein, byna onsigbare mosplantjies, tot die reuse bome wat ons oral sien.

Die Flixies vertel van een van die belangrikste natuurlike hulpbronne, naamlik grond. Hulle gesels oor die waarde van grond vir plante, diere en mense, maar hulle is ook baie bekommerd...

Al is die aarde so groot en al word dit met grond bedek, is daar eintlik maar bitter min grond waarin plante kan groei en wat bewerk kan word vir gewasse wat mense nodig het vir voedsel. Flex gebruik 'n bessie om hierdie kwessie aan die Flixies te verduidelik.

Explaining mathematical content and proficiencies. Written by leading mathematical educators, Paul Swan, Linda Marshall and Jack Bana.

Maths handbook for teachers and parents explains in detail the content of the Australian Mathematics Curriculum from Years 3–9 and in some cases beyond. It also includes a brief coverage of the content from early childhood up to Year 2.

The authors, all experienced mathematics educators, give the simplest explanations of how to tackle maths problems, providing background information and clearly-worked examples. If you are not sure of the steps such as those required to teach students how to create and read a graph, complete a calculation or solve an equation in algebra, then this book is for you. There are also substantial sections on geometry, measurement and probability.

The authors have tried to help the reader develop an understanding of the processes behind the mathematics taught and used in school. They have emphasised the use of number sense when performing a calculation and the important processes for solving problems, while at the same time explaining the reasons behind the processes. This book is the perfect companion to the best selling Maths terms and tables.

Each book contains 32 weeks of work, arranged into four units. Seven weeks of each unit begin with a new ‘Skill Focus’, addressing a key language concept. Each day, the first two questions will reinforce and consolidate this language concept. The rest of the daily questions will cover common skills of English.

Energise your English programme through comprehensive and structured daily English practice to consolidate learners' ability to read and write.

Build learners’ confidence through improved mastery of spelling, punctuation, phonics, word knowledge and grammar.

Target confusing words and common errors in writing and help your learners to achieve better results.

Higher-order thinking skills Book 3 focuses on the critical and creative thinking skills that learners need in their daily life. The language and skills taught are perfect for learners age 8-9.

The unique activities stimulate students and promote them to 'think outside the box'. In the fast-paced and ever-changing world we live in, never has there been a more important time to develop critical thinking skills—but how do you fit this into an already-packed schedule? R.I.C. Publications has the answer with our latest release, Higher-order thinking skills.

Through a range of engaging and challenging activities designed to test and strengthen problem-solving skills, this series helps learners make deeper connections by integrating their learning across key curriculum areas.

Remove the confusion around phonological awareness and equip children with all the skills needed to conquer the world of words—spelling, reading and writing—with R.I.C.’s must-have new Phonological awareness skills.

This series of five comprehensive books covers all the basics for early childhood children (from four years of age) but also assists older students who are struggling with phonics and spelling. It incorporates skills that fit into any phonics or spelling program. The series emphasises oral language.

Twelve skills are presented in developmental order over the five books and include the following skills:

Book 1: Auditory discrimination, rhyming and alliteration
Book 2: Segmentation and syllabification, and blending
Book 3: Phoneme matching and phoneme isolation
Book 4: Phoneme completion, and phoneme addition and deletion
Book 5: Phoneme segmentation, phoneme substitution and phoneme reversal

The last 7 skills relate to phoneme manipulation.

The skills are presented as fun, hands-on games and activities for whole class, small group and pairs, with full instructions (including the actual words to say if required), all game/activity resources, supporting worksheets if applicable, differentiation suggestions, formative and summative assessments and answers. Literature links and suggested websites for games are also included where applicable.

The activities are predominantly oral activities for four-year-olds but are also appropriate for learners who struggle with letter-symbol correspondence, those beginning to read and older children who need support.

The games and activities are perfect for learning stations and easily managed by adult and parent helpers. They can also be used for early finishers to consolidate skills or to motivate young learners needing extension.

The activities link perfectly to the Early Years Learning Framework and the Phonics and word knowledge section of the Language areas of South African Curriculum English.

Die aarde is soos 'n ruimteskip saam met al die ander planete in die ruimte op reis. Die groot verskil tussen planeet Aarde en die ander planete is dat ons planeet in die ruimte duisende vorme van lewe saamdra. Flex verduidelik vir die Flixies van die bane waarin die planete om die son wentel en hoe die vorm van hierdie bane sorg dat ons verskillende seisoene het waarin die plante kan rus en kan groei.
