Celebrating explorers!

Nellie BlyWe continue publishing resources on explorers, a very diverse range from around the world and throughout time.  Of course James Cook was an interesting person, but isn’t it great to also offer students an opportunity to investigate some other people that they hadn’t yet heard the name of?  It is good to show the diversity and how it wasn’t just Europeans who explored.

And did you spot our selection of women explorers? Unfortunately there aren’t that many, but they did awesome work. Nellie Bly is my personal favourite (pictured on the right). Such fabulous initiative.

Leap Day Special: 50% off Family and Teacher Subscriptions!

To celebrate the quirkiness of the leap day, we’re doing a very special offer – just from 29 Feb 2016 until 1 Mar 2016!

Leap years are funny things. Did you know, for instance, that in
Ireland and the United Kingdom when it was expected that men would always ask women to marry them and not the other way around, there was a tradition that it was acceptable for
women to ask men to marry them on Leap Year’s Day?
