Ons vriende, die Flixies, leer hoe belangrik die wisselwerking tussen plante en diere is en hoe plante, soos hulle oor die aarde versprei, ook dien om grond met hulle wortels aan die aarde “vas te plak”.

By blomplante is dit veral voortplanting wat baie slim ontwikkel is en die Flixies is baie beïndruk deur die maniere waarop plante hul saad versprei.

Wie was die suksesvolste groep in die ganse diereryk? Facto vind uit waaraan geleedpotiges se sukses toegeskryf kan word en hoekom hulle as die eerste egte landdiere beskou word. Die Flixies speel 'n raaiselspeletjie oor goggas en gesels ook onder mekaar oor skaaldiere, veelpotiges, spinnekoppe en skerpioene en oor die eerste diere wat kon vlieg – insekte!

Die Flixies het sommer baie pret waar hulle in die vleiland bymekaarkom. Kwax en Crox, die twee water-Flixies, speel toneel en maak asof hulle van die heel oudste lobvinvisse is wat hulle koppe uit die water steek. Hulle kruip in die modderwater rond en wonder hoe dit moet wees om op land te lewe. So leer die Flixies van al die probleme wat werweldiere moontlik mee te doen gekry het met die oorgang van water- na landlewe...

Oupa Flex en Dux is aan die woord en vertel van reptiele, sort vir soort. Flex vertel hoe primitiewe werweldiere uiteindelik geskik genoeg was om landlewe baas te raak. Sekere afstammelinge van die amfibieë het die nodige eienskappe gehad wat juis dit moontlik gemaak het!

Facto lê en droom in ’n knus holte tussen die wortels van die Wonderboom. Hy wag op die Flixies om te hoor van die laaste groepe wat landlewe suksesvol kon baasraak – die voëls en die soogdiere...en hy kan nie glo wat hy alles by die Flixies hoor nie!

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.

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.

A dyslexia-friendly font is used throughout the workbooks. It is extremely quick and easy for teachers to implement in their classroom or to assign as homework. Questions consolidate reading and comprehension and allow teachers to check that children actually read and comprehend the texts. It is easy for children to use independently, allowing them to take control of their reading journey, or with a parent’s assistance.

Features

• Each year level has two workbooks containing 15 weeks of texts each (4 texts per week). Part A is a physical workbook (60 texts) and Part B is available online (additional 60 texts).
• Children are encouraged to read one text each day at home (Monday to Thursday). This equates to 120 texts per year level.
• A number of different text types are included to provide variety and interest.
• Each text has an accompanying worksheet with six questions for children to complete so teachers and parents can monitor reading success.
• Answers are provided (online) for teachers and parents to check progress, or for children to self-mark.

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.

Kwax gesels met Frikkie Vleipadda wat vir hom sy familiegeskiedenis vertel. Hy vertel vir Kwax dat die oeroue amfibieëvoorvaders groot en lomp was en gesukkel het om op land te beweeg en te lewe. Die interessante deel van amfibieë is dat hulle nog nie eiers met doppe ontwikkel het nie. Hulle gaan dus terug water toe om hulle eiers daar te lê en wanneer die eiers uitbroei, kom daar vissies uit!
