Munch munch munch. Oh, hello, everyone!

Crunch munch chew. Sorry, I’m just having a healthy snack. You’ll learn all about healthy and unhealthy food in this issue. Don’t worry, you can see some unhealthy, but tasty, Christmas sweets, too, and learn more about Christmas traditions and music. We also have Jirka’s new message from Wales, Matilda in her new school, Star Wars characters in space, and some interesting fish in the water. And we have an interview with a brave and clever girl in Pakistan! Still need more? How about a new comic about Odysseus, lots of new puzzles, and a new adventure with the Impossible Portal? We think you’ll have lots of fun with this issue.

From all of us at RR, we wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, a Happy New Year, and we’ll see you in January!

ALL THE MUSIC OF CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS HYMNS 1, CHRISTMAS CAROLS2 AND CHRISTMAS SONGS

A CHRISTMAS HYMNS Did you know that the first Christmas celebration3 was in 336 AD*? The oldest “Christmas hymn” is from that time. A hymn is a Christian4 song for singing in church. Sometimes they are in Latin, like “Ave Maria”. A good example of an English hymn is “Joy to the World”.

“JOY TO THE WORLD” IN TF – ACTIVITY TIPS CD TRACK 16

“Silent5 Night” is one famous carol. It exists in many languages. In Czech, too. Do you know its Czech name?

All I want for Chrithtmath Ith my two front teeth Gee, if I could only Have my two front teeth Then I could wish you “Merry Chrithtmath!”

Mariah Carey is an American pop star. She also made a song about what she wants for Christmas. Can you guess9 what she wants? No, it’s not her two front teeth. It is a love song. Now can you guess?

RR December 2017

There are about 25 different types of seahorse.

Some are only 1.5 centimetres long. Others can be 36 centimetres long. That’s a big seahorse. I like warm salt water by the beach.

I have a very clever tail14 that can hold things.

Small fish and shrimp15 are my favourite foods. I don’t like big fish because they like to eat me. I live for around three years.

Seahorses have a funny way to hatch16 their eggs.

The father seahorse has a small pouch17 on his stomach. The mother seahorse puts her eggs in this pouch. The eggs stay there until they hatch. Then lots of baby seahorses come out.
