'Life Skills: Grief, Illness and Other Issues' deals with the sensitive issues of coping with grief and loss, serious illness, permanent injury and physical disability. This book is an ideal resource for teachers who may have a terminally ill child in their class, or have a student/students with siblings suffering a terminal illness. Other sections deal with emotions and outcomes as a result of having experienced a serious accident resulting in permanent physical disability. Activities and extension ideas endeavour to highlight how life can continue on after such events by analysing personal and physical strengths. Stories of inspiration have been included as well as stories that describe situations of loss and disability within families. 'Life Skills: Grief, Illness and Other Issues' also provides opportunities for students to devise ways to help people who have suffered a loss or injury, through exploring the work of charity organisations.
'The Life Skills' series was developed to equip the busy classroom teacher with practical and relevant ideas for enhancing essential life skills in individual students. This innovative four-book series aims to fill the gap between the frameworks set out by national bodies and the delivery of sensitive, yet meaningful, lessons in the everyday class. Many of the topics that are dealt with in this series are specifically designed for a particular event that may arise in the classroom. Activities can be used in one-on-one discussions or as whole class activities, depending on the situation. The materials are designed for middle to upper primary students, however, the ideas and information are appropriate for all school aged children.
Each book in this series contains extensive background notes for teachers, parents and students. Many sections contain annotated resource lists for multimedia, literature and general classroom resources. Extension ideas are given where possible and all activities are linked to student outcomes.

An important part of successful communication is the ability to speak successfully. Adults must be able to speak clearly and succinctly in a variety of situations, from private social gatherings to business meetings.
Speaking and listening skills are important for interviews, consumer activities and so much more. Yet an alarming number of students leave school without having achieved these skills. One reason for this is that students learn to fear these situations at an early age. Another may be that teachers find it difficult to create opportunities for practising and developing public speaking skills.
'Speak Up' attempts to alleviate these difficulties by providing a range of activities to develop public speaking skills, with a focus on delivery, voice use and audience.

The Super Space Resource Book is an excellent resource for any library.
Humans have been mystified about outer space since prehistoric times, when ancient people noticed asteroids crashing to Earth and stars lighting up the night skies. With the development of new technologies over hundreds of years, scientists have been able to unlock some of the mysteries of the universe, such as determining the size and origins of the universe and how the solar system works. The Hubble Space Telescope has provided thousands of clues as to the mysteries of the cosmos.
Featured also in Super Space Resource is information about the ongoing search for life on other planets or other solar systems. While discovery is the key, the search for extra intelligence is still a top focus of many exploration missions. The truth is out there.
