This book is designed to be read with children, to engage them in discussion about having a positive attitude to exercise, movement and activity, and the value of a healthy lifestyle.The number of very overweight (obese) infants and children is increasing year on year. Without intervention, these children are likely to be overweight during childhood, adolescence and adulthood. The problem is made worse with children accessing more screen time and leading more sedentary lives. Action needs to be taken sooner rather than later.With this in mind the pupils at Salterhebble Junior and Infant School wanted to contribute to helping children become more aware of health and fitness. Based on an original storyboard by Martin Haigh (Enterprise Partner and Governor at Salterhebble Junior and Infant School), the pupils developed their own extended storyboards. Then, snippets of each were merged to form the final, illustrated story showing the value of health and fitness in young people and their families.Children - did you know that?...• some children put on too much weight when they are quite young• extra weight can make children unhealthy and unfit• children who are overweight might start to lose confidence and stop playing with other children• some children might become sad if they lose confidence due to being overweightWould you like to help these children by telling them about health and fitness?

Mais rester assis au même endroit les ennuyait.Cônerad dit « Tu te souviens, quand on était couverts de poussière de lune, puis on s'en est débarrassés en se balançant d'un côté a l'autre ? Peut-être, si on essayait ça, on pourrait se déplacer et aller ailleurs. »Cônerad grimaça alors qu'il essayait de bouger.« Bonjour, je m'appelle Cône-Vera », dit le Cône à côté de Cônestance.« Si vous soulevez deux coins de vos bases et vous déplacez de côté vous pouvez balembler. » Cône-Vera montra aux deux amis comment faire.« Balembler ? » demanda Cônerad.« Oui, c'est ce que font les Cônes quand ils bougent. Plus que trembler, mais moins que balancer. Les Cônes balemblent» Cône-Vera expliqua.Cônerad et Cônestance réalisèrent qu'ils étaient vraiment doués à balembler.

Dawn was breaking and casting a warm glow. A large cargo ship was ploughing its way across the heaving sea and turned to come towards the port. A green and white Cone was on the deck, woggling backwards and forwards. He was very tired, it had been a long journey from America.

In Cones Power and Nature the adventures of the four friends Cones continue when they learn about a power station and the way electricity can be produced from a sustainable resource. Wonderfully creative stories that are delightfully illustrated. Children love them and adults love stories that introduce themes of friendship and safety awareness.

On 10 May there was a short ceremony at Morning Assembly to celebrate the Allied victory.This book is not only about those 463 ex-pupils and staff who were in the Armed Forces, forty-one of whom were killed in the War, or about those who were wounded, or those who were prisoners of war in German, Italian or Japanese hands.

In this sequel to the acclaimed novel and Wishing-Shelf Awards finalist, The Sixth Pillar, we again follow the exploits of former SAS officer Rory Calderwood, as he tries to rebuild his life following his time on the North Sea Gas rig. He has now relocated to a seemingly more tranquil area, but an act of extreme bravery leads to a chance meeting with the managing director of a company involved in making weaponry. Rory is soon hired as a security consultant, his key role, to protect them from industrial espionage. The company's latest invention, under the code-name 'Hades', will change modern warfare and there are numerous countries and agencies anxious to get their hands on the plans. What follows is a dramatic account of Calderwood's attempt to protect his employers, the story weaving from the backstreets of Birmingham to the warring factions of the Middle East. Then there is Natalie, the mysterious international lawyer from Estonia recently employed by the company; where does she fit in, in all the mayhem? Is she really what she seems or a smokescreen? Whatever you do, do not miss the exciting climax that will have readers flipping the pages to reach the conclusion.

John Howard was a good Catholic boy brought up in post-war Lancashire, who became more turned on by gilt than by guilt. Sacred Heart statues and a wall-mounted crucifix, along with plans for the priesthood, were replaced by Marc Bolan posters, miming to 'Metal Guru' in front of a full-length mirror and dreams of pop stardom.As Glam Rock stomped into millions of teenage bedrooms, John left home for London, and was quickly signed to CBS Records, making his debut album at Abbey Road studios, and enjoying the hedonistic pleasures of a fully gay-liberated city.He appeared on TV and rubbed shoulders with stars like Johnny Mathis and David Essex, wrote and recorded the theme song for the William Holden/Peter Fonda movie, Open Season, and launched his album with a concert at The Purcell Room on the South Bank.Meanwhile, he was attacked with a knife by his first lover; beaten up by an East End crook boyfriend; narrowly escaped being gang-raped in Malta, and was rescued from being abducted by a serial killer cab driver in New York.Everything finally came to a crashing halt when, at the age of twenty-three, he broke his back jumping from his apartment window, escaping from his flatmates' sex attacker.A potentially glittering career, and an often perilous sex life, were all put on hold as John lay in a hospital bed unsure if he would walk again.

This book started as an analysis of the heroic fallacy but became several other kinds of story. Primarily, the portrait of a protracted breakdown in the author Michael Scott's psychological and physical make-up, although he struggles hard not to go under, making his account more useful for others to read. It's neither pathological, nor self-indulgently self-pitying.There are useful accounts of coping strategies, particularly appropriate to age-related weakness and physical infirmity, especially when their onset is sudden as it was for Scott.The book focuses on puzzling features of human behaviour, and whether the species Homo sapiens is anything like the triumphant evolutionary achievement we pretend it to be. We are repeatedly warned about our anthropic megalomania, amply illustrated by unflinching description of the author's own egotism.Two other primary considerations in the book are consciousness and love. Scott questions the airy assumptions made about consciousness, arguing that it is fundamentally unknown and unanalysable. He claims that consciousness is part of life itself, and possibly non-living systems too. He evidences Daniel Dennett writing that the human brain creates a "narrative of consciousness", Scott believes the universe itself is the set of brain-narratives we choose to regard as 'reality'.As for love, Scott is a passionate advocate of it as the only saving grace in our collective and individual behaviour: the supreme brain-narrative, but believes that we are superficial and hypocritical in our attempts to give love its full majesty.In a vivid sense, therefore, The Fifth Revelation becomes a love story. Scott's deeply cherished wife of sixty years marriage died a short time after the book was finished.
