Spring - April 2009	Price: £5
Spring is here at last, and the days are getting longer and warmer! In this month’s magazine you can read about how springtime is celebrated around the world. Harvey looks at scientific evidence that spring is coming earlier each year and EB goes to the woods; how are they prepared through the winter ready for the coming spring? You can make an Easter cake with Polly Chrome, give your grey matter a spring-clean with Brainfeeders seasonal puzzles, and look at some Greek words with Wordworm. Enjoy jokes, letters, reviews and puzzles, read part one of our new story, Tea with Granny and enter a competition to win ’The Mummy Snatcher of Memphis’ and other books too!

Pottery - May 2009	Price: £5
People have been making pots since earliest times and in this issue we follow the story – from a simple lump of clay to a beautifully glazed work of art. Pots are useful to historians and archaeologists, surviving flood, fire and earthquakes much better than paper or cloth. Find out about white porcelain – once more valuable than gold, and make some delightful Japanese Kokeshi clay figures with Polly Chrome. In Science scene, Harvey explains more about firing and glazes – why your breakfast bowl doesn’t go soggy when you pour the milk in! Enjoy all your favourites: competitions, reviews, letters and jokes. Plus, this month we celebrate pets – they are good for your health – it’s official!

Mexico - June 2009	Price: £5
This month AQUILA is going to MEXICO. Read about the animals of Mexico and make some Mexican food - all served up on your own homemade Mexican platter, thanks to Polly Chrome. The topic and Brainfeeder pages will give you plenty to think about and with Mexico in mind, Harvey does some scientific experiments with chocolate – yummy (you can try them too!). We also look at politics and ask the question ‘Does democracy matter?’ plus you can enjoy all your favourites: competitions, reviews, letters and jokes. Let’s hope there’s lots of sunshine this month to enjoy all those sports days, and summer fetes - have fun this month!
