We’ll be finding out exactly what reconciliation means, and why it’s so important. We’ll be shining a spotlight on stories about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, like the children’s author who just won a HUGE award and the Northern Territory school kids learning outside on country. We’ll learn about some Torres Strait Islander people taking a stand to save their land and we’ll meet a man who might just be the oldest Aboriginal person in Australia.
Today, we’re heading to Japan to meet a sea slug with a surprising super power. We’ll also visit Spain for a juicy story about rotten oranges. We’ll celebrate one of the world’s most BEE-autiful creatures that also needs our help to keep busy. We’ll travel back in time to learn about the first paths Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people walked across Country. And we’ll meet a four-year-old hero who saved his mum with the help of a toy car.
Today we’ll visit an Australian cave to check out some ancient snacks, we’ll learn about an endangered frog baby boom, and we’ll meet a rising star in the world of fashion. Speaking of clothes, we’re going to dig up the dirt on an item of clothing that people have been burying in their backyards. Finally, we’ll join a group of history hunters who are on a mission to make the world-wide-web a fairer place.
Today we’ll be travelling to India to meet a young inventor, we’ll buckle up for some driving lessons with a local legend in Queensland, and then fly to a wildlife sanctuary to meet the world’s oldest seabird. We’ll also dive down to visit a one-of-a-kind coral reef and we’ll find out about a big decision from the government that could help the environment.
Today we’ll be meeting a heroic pooch that came to his neighbours rescue, and we’ll check out some dolls making playtime more inclusive. Next we’ll bust some moves to celebrate International Dance Day. And we’ll find out how an Aussie lake is helping scientists understand life on Mars. Plus we’ll learn about a magical fabric that was so light, people thought it was made by faeries!
Back by popular demand, we’re revisiting our favourite dino news stories!
Today, we’ll travel back in time with ancient artefact and prehistoric shark discoveries. We’ll learn about Earth Day and how one Aussie is helping their unlikely neighbours. And, get our hands busy with some inventive recycling.
