A lioness in Africa has been photographed raising a leopard cub. The lioness has three cubs of her own but also appears to have adopted the leopard.

Conservation officers are astonished because they expected the lioness to kill the cub at first. One said, "We know there are cases where lionesses will adopt other lion cubs... but this is unprecedented."

What do you see in the picture?
What do you notice about the animals?

-  How are the two animals different?
- How are the two animals the same?
-Why do you think the lioness has adopted the leopard?
- People thought the lioness would kill the cub, but she didn't what does this show us about animal habits and ideas?
(It shows things can change)
- What do you think will happen as the leopard grows up?
- What can we learn from the lioness in this story?
- Why is this story about no outsiders?

  What do you see in the picture? Where are they, what are they doing? How was that photo taken, where is the person taking the picture standing (are they standing?) The picture shows 164 members of an international skydiving team broke the world record for skydiving formation, over Illinois USA. This was their 13th attempt to build a shape resembling a giant flower. The previous record was 138. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/gallery/2015/jul/31/world-record-skydiving-formation-in-pictures -What is skydiving, how does it work? - how do you think it feels to skydive? - The skydiving team are an "International" team, what does that mean? - How did the team make this happen? (working together) - Do you think anyone on the team said, "I'm not holding his hand because we have a different religion," or, "I'm not holding your hand because we are from a different country".

Kamden uses a wheelchair and one day Paul was horrified when he saw his friend's chair tip up and Kamden fall out. The problem was Kamden had grown too big for his chair, but his family could not afford to buy a new one. Paul said, "His wheelchair has fallen forward so many times and that sucks. Also he has a really hard time pushing it because it's so heavy." Paul decided he needed to help his friend so he investigated ways to raise money. Paul asked his Mun to set up a Go Fund Me page to raise $3900 for a new chair. In 26 days the page had raised $5935! Kamden's mum said, "What really contributes to their friendship is that Paul does not see Kamden as someone who has a disability. He sees him as Kamden. Because of that, Ka...
