Festival events are lively at this school! Here's a bunch of class students from various centuries flocking to watch a few games down at the new Gymnasium - just as the chopper crew are arriving for their demonstrations... Check out the red arrow. That's the scrub Kirby and Dee had to climb through to get to the step pyramid in the next book!
Class Project
Write a short story about something crazy going
wrong at a school festival or fete at *your* school. What crazy events
and attractions would you organise
if someone was insane enough to put you in charge?
Science Experiment
Kirby and her team use light from a laptop computer at night to help them conduct paddock surgery. If they had time, they could have used survival techniques to light a fire as well. Split up into class groups to practice lighting small SUPERVISED fires with your teacher to see what kind of materials make the best kindling - including tissue paper, human hair, pet hair, bark, green gum leaves, dry leaves, twigs and metal scrapings from an aluminium can. Then rate them on a scale from best to worst. You should be amazed by the results!
