MISTAKES ARE VALUABLE The best way to learn, grow and develop is by making mistakes. It's totally okay to make a mistake – it will help your brain to grow! EVERYONE CAN ACHIEVE If we try our very best we can all achieve success! MAKE IT YOUR OWN It's super important to make sure the content you submit is yours. If you use or copy someone else's work this could be plagiarism and that's not fair. SUBMIT OFTEN The more high quality content you submit, the more change you have of getting IN. BE PROUD Sometimes, we feel nervous about sharing the content we have worked hard on. Believe in yourself and be proud of your creations. EDIT EVERYTHING Edit your content to make sure it is the absolute best…

Photography is a great way to express yourself creatively and capture moments that you don't want to forget. Talk about fun and rewarding! You can take photos of nature, buildings, animals, landscapes… really, whatever interests you! To keep kids safe, here at theINmag, we will not print photos of people's faces. Connect with the world around you using photography. It can be a very fulfilling and rewarding hobby. Send it IN! SEND YOUR BEST SNAPS IN! I took the photo of a seagull in Torquay, which was absolutely amazing. The kookaburra was quite hard to capture properly, but the end result was well worth the wait! The kangaroo was special. The bloke was just lying around on the ground making weird faces so what can you do but whip…

Here at theINmag, we absolutely love sharing the content that kids all over Australia create. Who knows, maybe you will inspire someone on the other side of Australia with the content you send IN. How cool is that?! We think it's unfair that everything you guys see is created by an adult. Think about it – books, artwork, websites, TV shows - all made by adults. Well, now it's your turn! Every page of this magazine (well, except this one!) is absolutely bursting with content that kids all over Australia are proud to share. They want you to see it! Remember, this is YOUR magazine. You can draw, write and scribble all over it. Feel free to improve content, edit writing samples or even add drawings to the content kids…

Look at where all of this month's content creators are from! Each dot represents a piece of content in theINmag! How cool, right? Are there any contributors that live close to you? Some kids have written in about their home town. It's cool to learn about new places. You could tell us about your home town. Send IN a photo and a paragraph of information. We would love to know what makes your town special. SEND IN A PHOTO AND SOME INFO ABOUT YOUR HOME TOWN ! Mount Gambier is a really cool place! It's named after a big volcano that isn't active anymore. The city is built inside one of the holes in the volcano, which is called a crater. That's why it's so special and unique! Stella…

What would you like to be when you grow up? Each issue we take the time to interview someone who is passionate about their career choices. This is someone who loves their job. You can learn a little about them and consider whether you might like to do something like this when you are older.

SEND IN YOUR ART CREATIONS! It's time to get creative. There are so many amazingly artistic kids out there. Share some of your soon-to-be famous creations. Remember, artwork is more than just drawing and painting. We are hunting for a range of artworks. We’d love to see sculptures, craft, digital art, murals, chalk designs, pottery… literally anything creative. Send it IN! One of the cool things about The Art Hub is that submitted artwork can be included anywhere in theINmag. We often use artwork to complement other sections, so keep your eyes peeled.…

Problem solving is a skill that can last a lifetime. Just like any muscle, it's important to work our brain out, stretching it by attempting a range of challenging tasks. Everyone's brain works differently. The way we approach problems is based on the experiences we've had in the past. This is your chance to share methods and strategies with others. How cool is that? Can you solve one of this month's problems? Have you got a new problem to share? SEND THEM IN! Here are some of the problems that have been posted this issue. Can you solve them? The answer is great, but it's way more important to show how you got there! Send IN an explanation and some photos of how you did it. HOW MANY SQUARES…
