Some schools in England and Wales could close on certain days in February and March, after teachers voted to go on strike over how much they are paid. What happened? The National Education Union (NEU), the largest education trade union in the UK, asked its 450,000 members to vote on whether to strike by not going to work. Trade unions are organisations made up of workers who unite to fight for better pay and working conditions. More than 90% of NEU’s members who voted did so in favour of the strike. Why are teachers striking? Teachers want more money to do their jobs. Inflation (the rise in the cost of goods over time) has pushed up prices by more than 10% in the last year. As a result many people,…

NIGEL THE ENDANGERED MONKEY At Drusillas Zoo Park, in England, a cottontop tamarin monkey has been named Nigel. The monkey species is critically endangered. After reading about baby names that were also becoming rare, zookeeper Gemma Romanis decided to name the monkey Nigel. RESCUING A SAILOR LOST AT SEA After 24 days lost at sea, Elvis Francois from Dominica was rescued by the Colombian navy. He was repairing his boat in December when it was swept out to sea. Francois wrote “help” on the boat’s side, drank rainwater collected with a cloth and ate ketchup and stock cubes. A medical check-up found he was in good health. PLANTING BLOSSOM TREES The National Trust, a charity that looks after nature and historic buildings for the public, has given away more than…

Pieces of a medieval ship are ready to be reassembled after 20 years. Now that the wood has been dried out and restored, archaeologists (experts who study ancient objects to help us understand history) will fit the 2,500 pieces back together like a giant jigsaw. Known as “the Newport Ship”, it was found in mud on the banks of the River Usk, Wales, in 2002. It’s thought to be about 550 years old, is 30 metres long and weighs 400 tonnes.…

At the age of 28, Akeim Mundell has become one of the youngest assistant headteachers in the UK. Today, he teaches at William Hulme’s Grammar School in Manchester, England. Mundell had a difficult start at school and left at the age of 16. So it came as a surprise when his former teacher, Jenny McGarry, suggested he try teaching. Mundell realised he was able to use his own school experience to connect with pupils from a background like his own. “My aim will always be to go above and beyond to support, educate and uplift younger people,” he says.…

These strange creatures look like jellyfish but they are actually a kind of species called a colonial hydroid. This means they are made up of a colony of tiny individual animals. By-the-wind-sailors consist of a blue oval disc, known as a float, about 10 centimetres long. A thin, semicircular fin – or sail – sticks up diagonally across its float and short tentacles hang under it. The sail allows it to catch the wind and travel around the world on ocean currents, while using its stinging tentacles to prey on small sea creatures. How their sails are positioned differs and determines which direction the by-the-wind-sailors will travel. During winter storms hundreds of them can wash up on shores in the UK.…

Indian rhinos For the first time in 47 years, no Indian rhinos were killed by poachers last year at Kaziranga National Park in Assam, India. In the past, they’ve been killed for their horns, which are worth a lot of money. However, a new anti-poaching team has helped to protect this endangered species. Vervet monkeys The government of Sint Maarten, a territory in the Caribbean controlled by the Netherlands, has decided to cull (deliberately kill) its population of vervet monkeys. The species is not originally from the island. They were introduced in the 17th century and destroy many farmers’ crops.…

On 27 January it is Holocaust Memorial Day. This is a time for people to come together to remember the six million Jewish people who were killed in the Holocaust. It is also when we think of people who died as a result of genocide in countries such as Bosnia, Cambodia, Rwanda and Sudan. Genocide is when a particular group of people are targeted to be destroyed – because of their culture, race or religion. What was the Holocaust? The Holocaust means the death of many people. It is often used to describe the time during the Second World War (1939-1945) when the German Nazi Party, an extreme political group led by Adolf Hitler, persecuted Jewish people. To persecute someone means to treat them unfairly and cruelly. Many people were…

Car manufacturer Hyundai has revealed a new kind of technology called e-Corner, which means a car can move sideways like a crab. It was demonstrated on Hyundai’s Ioniq 5 car for the first time at the Consumer Electronics Show in the US. All four of the car’s wheels can turn by as much as 90 degrees. This means it can move sideways and diagonally. Hyundai says this will make cars easier to park and allow then to change direction faster. Cars with e-Corner technology could be on sale by 2025.

Cats are said to have nine lives, but Puss has unknowingly used up eight of his during his daring exploits. He decides it’s time to stop adventuring, so he heads to Mama Luna’s Home for Retired Cats. Of course, it’s not long before adventure finds him – he learns of the legendary Wishing Star and decides to use it to get his nine lives back. To journey to the Dark Forest, where they will find the star, Puss has to ask his rival, Kitty Softpaws, for help. The two are joined by a chatty dog called Perrito. However, they aren’t the only ones…

Hello, my name’s Olaf Falafel. I’m a children’s author, illustrator, dad and also a stand-up comedian. During the Covid-19 lockdowns I created an online Art Club. Each episode was filled with drawing tips, funny animations and information about different artists. The artist I’m going to be focusing on this week is called Paul Klee (“Klee” rhymes with “day”). Klee was a Swiss-German artist who loved to experiment with different methods of making images. He also taught at the famous Bauhaus art school in Germany where he was the only teacher who refused to give his pupils grades. Klee said that “drawing is simply taking a line for a walk,” and would sometimes draw using one continuous line. For February, I’m setting you a 28-day art challenge: draw a single-line self-portrait…

Easter is still more than two months away but supermarkets have wasted no time putting chocolate eggs on the shelves. Easter Sunday falls on 9 April this year but some people have taken pictures of Easter eggs on sale as early as December, just after Christmas. Some supermarkets are already stocking Easter eggs and Easter-inspired chocolate treats. Many people are surprised that such items would be on sale so far before Easter, especially as other occasions such as Valentine’s Day come sooner in the year. However, the supermarkets defended their decision by saying that many people wanted to buy in advance, or even give themselves an early chocolatey treat. What do you think? Should Easter eggs be on sale in January? Yes – customers have a right to choose From…

“Biodiversity loss” describes species dying out. The charity Flora and Fauna International (FFI) says people don’t talk about it enough. FFI gives tips on talking raise awareness. Start by asking older family members which animal they used to see a lot but don’t see so much any more. FFI says people should “think global, act local” and the charity also explains how small actions we can all do, like picking up litter or helping plant native trees, can help.…

In real life there are accepted rules that everybody follows. For example, you shouldn’t eat with your mouth open; in the UK people drive on the left; and the only place to join a queue is at the back. Online, the rules aren’t as clear and it can be hard to know how to behave. Safer Internet Day (7 February) helps people think about these issues. This year, young people are being asked to share online experiences and the changes you would like to see. What is being safe online? You probably know the basics of being safe online: don’t give personal details to somebody you don’t know, and check trusted sites to spot a fake story. Gwen Taylor is from the charity Glitch, which works to end online abuse.…

She dreams of becoming a playwright and is determined that her dyslexia won’t stand in her way.

Meanwhile, in the woods around the camp, something ancient and evil is stirring. Kallie and her friends are soon entangled in a sinister adventure. Dark and mysterious, this magical story is full of chilling moments. Fans of suspense will love the twists…

How many ball sports can you name? Most people will say football or volleyball but how about Kin-Ball? This exciting sport is played by around four million people in more than 30 countries and it’s becoming popular in schools in the UK. Kin-Ball is easy to learn, the games are quick and you don’t need a lot of kit. The first thing you’ll notice about the sport is the size of the ball. The special soft ball is 1.2 metres wide, so it’s much larger than other balls used in sport. There’s another big difference too: instead of two teams playing against each other, in Kin-Ball three teams can compete at the same time. The aim of the game is for a team to hit the giant soft ball in…

On 25 January, Jacinda Ardern stepped down as the prime minister of New Zealand. She announced her plan to give up the job on 19 January. Ardern became prime minister in 2017 as the leader of the New Zealand Labour Party. At the time she was 37 years old and the world’s youngest female head of government. She led New Zealand through some difficult challenges, including the eruption of the White Island volcano in 2019 and the Covid-19 pandemic. Ardern’s government responded quickly to the pandemic to reduce the number of Covid-19 infections as much as possible, but some people didn’t like these regulations and Ardern became less popular with the public. In her speech announcing her plan to resign, Ardern said, “I know what this job takes. And I…

The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has ordered an investigation into Conservative Party chairman Nadhim Zahawi, after it was found that he had not paid enough tax (money that people pay out of their wages to fund public services like the NHS). Another investigation has been ordered into BBC chairman Richard Sharp and his relationship with the former Prime Minister Boris Johnson. What did Zahawi do? Zahawi was Chancellor (the minister in charge of the country’s money) from July to September last year. During that time, HMRC (the UK organisation in charge of tax) ordered him to pay a penalty (money for breaking a rule) because he hadn’t paid all the tax that he owed. Zahawi reportedly paid the penalty as well as the tax he owed to HMRC. The Guardian…

When Madison Checketts was walking along her favourite beach in California, US, something bugged her: the discarded water bottles. “The beach is one of my favourite places to go, and seeing it all trashed up with plastic water bottles, I just felt like this needed to change,” she told Smithsonian magazine. Americans throw away 60 million plastic bottles every day, many of which end up in rubbish dumps or the sea. It was time to take action. Once home, Madison started work on her eco-friendly water bottle. She named it the Eco-Hero. Instead of throwing the bottle away after you drink from it, you can eat it. Madison learned about a chemical called calcium lactate, which once it has been processed can turn from a squidgy gel into a hard,…

The charity Flora and Fauna International (FFI) has announced its “top 10 list of animals to watch in 2023”. FFI’s mission is to protect endangered species and the places where they live. In the islands of the Caribbean, FFI is working to save a spectacular tarantula (a large hairy spider) called the Caribbean diamond, by protecting its native forest on Union Island. On a tiny island nearby, there are as few as 20 Saint Lucia racer snakes left. FFI is building a sanctuary on the bigger island of Saint Lucia, where it will set up a breeding programme to introduce more baby snakes. Three African species are on the list, including the okapi, a rare cousin of the giraffe. They live in the eastern forests of the Democratic Republic of…

Around the world, animals and humans have adapted their own ways to keep themselves cool in the heat. New research has revealed that one species in Australia, the echidna (also called the spiny anteater), uses unusual methods to cope with the heat: belly flops and snot bubbles. Echidnas aren’t as good at dealing with the heat as other animals, particularly because they’re covered in spines that act like a blanket and trap the warmth. Unlike other animals, they don’t sweat, lick themselves or pant to cool down, so scientists wanted to know how echidnas were coping with Australia’s hot weather. The team used infrared cameras, a special type of camera that shows how hot or cold the surface of an object is, using different colours. The research showed that the…

You may think a large orange tiger would be easy to spot in a green jungle but they are very well hidden. This is because of their clever vertical stripes, which are described as “disruptive coloration”. The stripes break up the cat’s shape and size, helping it to blend into the trees and tall grasses of their habitat. Sumatran tigers live in dense jungle, so they have even narrower stripes. A tiger’s stripes are as unique as a fingerprint. Enjoy unlimited visits to ZSL London and Whipsnade Zoos, plus a host of other benefits with ZSL Membership.

Why is chocolate so yummy? Scientists at Leeds University think they have the answer and it’s not all to do with how it tastes. The secret, they argue, lies in how chocolate feels so smooth on the tongue and the teeth, the roof of the mouth and the lips. For their research, the scientists used dark chocolate containing varying amounts of cocoa. The more cocoa there was, the darker and less sweet the chocolate. The team tested it on an artificial tongue because they were interested in what happens when chocolate touches the tongue, rather than how it tastes. This is an area of science called tribology. It studies how surfaces interact with each other. The scientists discovered that fat was key to the taste. When the chocolate first comes…

Cycling along muddy tracks, up and down hills and through twists and turns may not be everyone’s idea of a fun bike ride, but for cyclo-cross riders and fans it is the best. Cyclo-cross (sometimes called CX) is one of the toughest events in cycling. Riders race laps around an off-road circuit, such as around a field. Riders have to be super fit and super skilled at riding and handling a bike. They may have to cycle through mud or snow, over obstacles or steps, so they have to decide when it’s best to get off their bike and run while pushing it or carrying their bike on their shoulder. Cyclo-cross events are held in the autumn and winter, when the conditions can make it even more challenging. On 14–15…

The Mandalorian trailer arrives Fans of Star Wars were thrilled when, on 16 January, a new trailer for the third series of The Mandalorian was revealed on TV, at half-time during an American football game. The popular series (which is a bit scary for younger viewers) is set five years after Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, the last film in the original three that starred Princess Leia, Han Solo and Luke Skywalker. The Empire has fallen and Din Djarin, from the planet Mandalore, is travelling through the galaxy, joined by Grogu, a baby creature with psychic powers, whom Din Djarin feels he must protect. Two years after the last series, new episodes of The Mandalorian start streaming on Disney+ on 1 March. You can see the trailer at tinyurl.com/TWJ-mandalorian…

When people first used computers to play games at home, some of the most popular games were text adventures. They were a bit like playing books: you’d read a text description of the game world, and type in what you wanted to do next with commands such as “go north”, “pick up sword” and “fight troll”. Colossal Cave Adventure was one of the most famous text adventures, first released in 1976. Now the game is back, but this time it’s been brought life in a 3D world that players can see, rather than just read about. Some things haven’t changed: the game is still about exploring underground caves, solving puzzles and finding treasure. On your quest, you open the door of a wooden cabin which leads to a network of…

Describe your book in three words. Theatre. Curse. Monster. What inspired you to write a book with a main character who has dyslexia? I am dyslexic and wanted to show that even if you’re bad at spelling you can still be a great hero. Shy and nervous, Kallie dreams of being a playwright and her power for storytelling will ultimately save the day. Have you ever been in a play? Yes! I loved acting when I was at school. I’ve played a witch, a princess, a silent movie star, King Arthur, a cat and Mary in the Christmas nativity. What was the first story you ever wrote? I wrote an adventure about a witch and her family when I was seven years old. I’ve always secretly wished I had magical…

How can I play? If you haven’t tried Kin-Ball at school, ask your teacher if you can give it a try. Your school can get in touch with Kin-Ball UK (kinball.co.uk) to ask about getting the special big ball and some basic training in the sport. It’s best to play indoors but it can be played outside as well, in good weather. Can I watch Kin-Ball? To get a taste of the game and watch Kin-Ball in action, go to the YouTube site of the sport’s official ball makers, Omnikin, and check out some of the video clips there. This one shows teams of young people playing the sport: tinyurl.com/TWJ-KIN-BALL…

A chihuahua called Spike has officially been recognised as the world’s oldest dog. Spike is 23 years old and lives on a farm with the Kimball family in the US state of Ohio. Spike became a part of the family at the age of 10, after the Kimballs found him abandoned in the car park of a supermarket. Now that he holds a world record, the elderly pooch has become a bit of a celebrity in his local area. This sudden fame won’t change Spike, though, who still enjoys his favourite supper of sausages every night.…
