Who likes to daaaaaance? Take this dance cube when you’re out and about and need to... grooove on the mooove! Here's how to put it together:
1. Stick this page to cardboard. Then, ask your grown-up to snip along the dashed lines.
2. Fold along the dotty lines and stick the tabs shut.
3. Roll the die and copy whichever dance move it lands on! Will it be the robot or island rhythms? The worm or fairy dance?
We KNOW that you are an awesome dancer! Doodle a step-by-step guide to one of your amazing dance routines.
Hup, hup, hup. Make the head and wristbands, then pop them on and give these moves a go: mountain hike, thwack, yoga (try the downward dog), juuump!, ballet twirls, power walking, balance, ruuun!, crawl, and chicken dance!
Top Tip: Take this page outside and drop a stone or leaf onto it. Whichever move it lands on... give it a go!

In The Strange World of Troglobites, narrator Sir David Attenborough explores the fascinating world of troglobites, creatures that have adapted to living entirely in caves. These animals, including the Texas blind salamander and the Belizean white crab, are unique to their environments and have evolved specialized features to survive in total darkness. Lacking pigment and eyesight, they rely on other heightened senses to detect food. The cave angelfish uses microscopic hooks to cling to slippery surfaces, and the blind salamander can detect water movement to locate prey. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Planet Earth, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.

In Sweden's Feminist Approach to International Relations, Margot Wallström, Sweden's Foreign Minister since 2014, talks about her decision to run a feminist foreign policy. She explains how this policy looks at the world’s problems from a gender perspective, asking whether women have the same rights, representation, and resources as men. Margot shares how growing up in Sweden, one of Europe’s most equal societies, shaped her beliefs in unrestricted hope for the future. She also reflects on the extra scrutiny women face, such as having their appearance commented on, rather than focusing on their work. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Her Story — The Female Revolution, which explores the history and impact of women’s rights movements and achievements of women.
