AT-ATs are about the most awesome Star Wars vehicles! These were used by both the Empire and the First Order to try to walk right over their enemies, and they are pretty indestructible (unless they step in tauntaun poop, then they take forever to clean). You can see them in multiple Star Wars™ movies, video games, and more. They have become one of the most recognized symbols of the Star Wars universe!

ALPACA MOUNTAIN RESCUE!ALPACA MOUNTAIN RESCUE!Written by Mia and Stephanie
We just got back from a school trip to South America. Our science class was there to learn about jungles, mountains and rain forests, the wildlife that lives there, and how we can all help to protect the environment. A photographer from National Geographic came along to take pictures of our expedition.
We made a base camp in
the foothills of the Andes.
We were there to learn
about alpacas, a herd
animal that lives on farms
here and is prized for its
MIA: I flew my helicopter
near the top of a
mountain to check out
some alpacas on the
high slope. Just then, my
instruments showed the
mountain was a volcano
about to erupt. I had to
act fast.
STEPHANIE: Mia radioed
me and we came up with
a plan. I made my way to
the herd of alpacas and
slipped harnesses around
the animals. One by one,
Mia airlifted them with the
helicopter and deposited
them where they would
be out of danger.
Not long after that,
Andrea and Emma
arrived by hot-air balloon.
What the four of us
learned is that the wild
is a place of great beauty,
but unexpected dangers
too. Animals and birds
of all kinds call the
wilderness home. If it
gets destroyed, they
will have no place to
live and may go extinct.
TIP: You can help migrating
birds to make it home to
Central and South America.
By putting a bird bath or a
bird house in your yard,
you can provide
water and shelter
for birds as they
fly south for the
winter.

DID YOU KNOW?
Alpacas are sometimes
used to guard sheep
herds. They’re so tall they
can spot danger before
the sheep do.

Student Writing Section
So, Jay, what brought you to the ninja kingdom of Shintaro?
JAY: My fellow ninjas and I were invited to a princess’ birthday party. We were excited to attend - we heard Shintaro is a really cool place. Turns out, it’s fantastic for epic battles! Not so much for birthdays.
How come?
JAY: Cole found out that underneath the city
there are these dark, damp dungeons. There’s a wicked Skull Sorcerer forcing two tribes to work for him. So, we’re going to take him down because that’s what ninjas do!
Is he dangerous?
JAY: He knows a lot of magic and he’s got skeleton warriors and this big skeleton dragon working for him. Lots of skeletons. But I guess when you’ve got “skull” in your name, that kind of goes with it.
Any advice for the students at our school?
JAY: Well, I’m an inventor, so science is the best. Staying in shape is important too - you never know when you might have to fight your way out of a dungeon. And if you get invited to a birthday party, make sure you at least get a piece of cake before things get messy.
Finally, tell us something about you that no one knows.
JAY: In between adventures, sometimes I like to write funny haiku poems about my friends, I wrote one about Kai that you can have, okay?

CAN PEOPLE LIVE UNDER THE SEA?Written by: Jack Neighbour
MEET NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC UNDERWATER EXPLORER GRACE YOUNG.
Did you know that scientists and explorers have been living underwater for years now? An engineer named Grace Young spent two weeks living in an underwater habitat called the Aquarius – an air-filled living space not much bigger than a school bus.
While she was inside, Grace adapted a high-speed camera for use underwater that’s fast enough to catch underwater critters in action. She has filmed all kinds of creatures with her camera, like the mantis shrimp, which hides and then snatches prey. She’s also filmed how a lizardfish moves along by coiling its body like a spring and shooting itself out of the sand.
Grace Young loved her time living under the sea, and even after breaking the surface to feel the sun on her face again, she can’t wait until she can return underwater after dreaming up more ways to study the mysterious marine life that lives there.

Science class this month has been all about the things you
can find under the sea. Not only are there shipwrecks and
treasures down there, but also thousands of different species
of marine life. Most of the planet Earth is made up of oceans,
but we have barely explored any of it. Scientists and explorers
discover new and exciting things about the ocean every day.

School work is way easier if you have everything you need right where you can get it.
Building a desk organizer like this one is a great way to start and it’s something you’ll use every day. You can build and design one with the LEGO® bricks you have at home.
Build yourself a nameplate for your room using pieces from your LEGO® collection. Use this grid below to practice what your DOTS name would look like.

GET YOURGET YOURSTUFF IN ORDER! STUFF IN ORDER!
There are other things you can do, too, to help get your school year started right:
• Clean any clutter off your desk. Anything you don’t need to do your work with should be put away someplace.• Keep your stuff together - all your pencils and pens should go in one spot, notebooks and folders in another.• Get a calendar so you can write down when your assignments are due, and other important dates to remember.
