What to expect in the brand new Vol 10.3 of Supernova
First up, put on your woolly jackets because we are going back in time with the giants of the Ice Age. Discover fun facts you never knew about these big, furry creatures in our main feature article. Can you imagine seeing them in real life?!

The adventure continues in the Pinboard, where we find out if bees are truly the only pollinators, show you some amazing art by even more amazing young artists, and learn all about the platypus and its funny duck bill. Hop on a boat and join Andy as she visits Robben island, a famous South African island and prison, and learn all about its rich history! Then, get a view from up above in the Photo Feed featuring stunning photos of our breathtakingly beautiful world – all taken by drones!
For the musically inclined, we have a piece about the wonderful John Williams, the composer nominated for the most awards. We have a chat with an Entomologist who travels to different countries to collect insects. If you’re a bug fanatic, you can learn even more about the interesting insects of South Africa in Ant’s Eco Adventures. Then, get your arts and crafts supplies, invite all your insect friends, and make an eco-friendly bug hotel in the Eco Craft.

More awesome content in Vol 10.3
Get out that new bar of soap in your cupboard and get ready to ask it all of the questions you’ve always been burning to ask. Maybe its answers will help you answer our controversial Chatroom question: ‘Do we need to bath every day?’. Check out some of the hilarious responses our readers sent in! After that, take a look at the fascinating history of bathing. Did you know people in Medieval times didn’t bath very often because they believed bathing actually made them more likely to catch a disease? Phew, sounds like a stinky time in history!

In our Life, the Universe and Everything section, uncover all of the ridiculously hilarious swear words people used in the olden days. Don’t forget to let us know which one was your favourite! Then, get ready to take flight with drones and discover how they have improved our lives, how they can impact the environment, and how they are used to help out in South Africa.

And even more!
