Hi readers,
I just played a really fun game called Jungle Jam! If you like pattern puzzles, then this is the game for you.
All you have to do is watch the pattern on the screen, then repeat it using the arrow buttons on your key board that match. Click on the picture below to give it a try!
If you do play, I hope you have fun.
See you next time, readers!

Hi everyone,
There’s no better time than right now to explore the great outdoors! Why not go on a nature walk?

You can make your walk even more fun by planning a scavenger hunt! Write a list of the things that you think you’ll see on your stroll. Bring it with you, and check off the items that you spot while you’re out.
Have fun sightseeing!
Leave a comment below about what you spot on your nature walk!

Hi everyone,
Today is s’mores day, and I for one couldn’t be happier that this delicious treat has a day all to itself! To celebrate, I thought I’d share a simple, yet scrumptious recipe! Just remember to ask a parent for help.
You’ll need:
graham crackers
squares of milk chocolate
marshmallows
1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Line up graham crackers on a baking sheet.
3. Put 1 square of milk chocolate on each cracker.
4. Top each cracker with a marshmallow.
5. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes, just long enough to melt the chocolate and marshmallow.
6. Remove from the oven and put another graham cracker on top to make a sandwich.
7. Let the s’mores cool for a few minutes, then get munching!
This sweet treat can get rather messy, so be sure to have lots of napkins ready!
Have a great weekend!

Hi everyone,
Have you ever heard of a Truffula tree? Or met a Bar-ba-loots? If not, you might want to check out Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax, which comes out on DVD and Blu-ray today. But before you press play, crack open the book and meet Dr. Seuss’ original tree-loving Lorax, the star of this playful yet serious story about the importance of protecting our Earth. My favourite line from the book? “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
Which did you like better: the book or the movie? Let me know!
