The narrative builds on the long-standing rivalry between Grandpa Sid and Baron von Spanner, using exaggeration and satire to examine how technology can be misused when not carefully tested or ethically controlled. Clever, energetic, and playful, the text supports students to explore ideas about innovation, responsibility, and resilience through character voice and visual language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"811\" data-end=\"1076\"\u003eThe text is ideal for integrated learning across literacy and digital technologies, supporting inquiry into artificial intelligence, ethical decision-making, creativity, and the role of humour and imagination in storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pack contains a range of response activities complete with activity explainer videos for exploring thinking skills and developing emotional understandings and compassionate inquiry including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlooms Higher Order Thinking activities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook Club guide for deepening text discussion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA range of activities to explore emotional understanding, compassionate inquiry, empathy development, vocabulary and developing skills for self and co-regulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1134\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1099\"\u003eCurriculum Phase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phase 3\u003cbr data-start=\"1107\" data-end=\"1110\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1110\" data-end=\"1125\"\u003eYear Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Year 6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1136\" data-end=\"1392\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1136\" data-end=\"1165\"\u003eEnglish (NZC Levels 4–5):\u003c\/strong\u003e reading for meaning and critical thinking, analysing narrative voice and dialogue, understanding fantasy and science fiction, exploring visual language and humour, synthesising events and themes, identifying author’s purpose\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1394\" data-end=\"1558\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1394\" data-end=\"1432\"\u003eTechnology \/ Digital Technologies:\u003c\/strong\u003e computational thinking, artificial intelligence, innovation and invention, ethics and responsibility, design and evaluation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1560\" data-end=\"1645\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1560\" data-end=\"1574\"\u003eText type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiction, fantasy narrative, science fiction, graphic-style narrative\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1647\" data-end=\"1840\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1647\" data-end=\"1669\"\u003eKey words include:\u003c\/strong\u003e artificial intelligence, AI, cartoons, duels, family, fantasy, grandparents, humour, inventions, sequels, visual language, creativity, problem-solving, ethics, innovation\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Resource Cupboard NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44634829586630,"sku":"SJL3 November 2024: The Duel Thinking\/Feeling Pack","price":8.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/6530\/1702\/files\/aSJL3November2024Cover_12ec9b46-275e-4c7a-bcf3-765765192e4a.jpg?v=1750980891"},{"product_id":"sjl3-june-2024-banana-skins-thinking-feeling-pack-copy","title":"SJL3 June 2024: Banana Skins Thinking\/Feeling Pack","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"901\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"16\"\u003eBanana Skins\u003c\/strong\u003e by Bernard Beckett is a humorous reflective fiction text that weaves everyday family life with environmental responsibility to explore how small actions can create meaningful change.

Through clear explanation, real-world case studies, and visual diagrams, the text examines why many of Auckland’s streams were piped underground and the environmental problems this has caused over time. The narrative introduces the concept of “daylighting” — uncovering streams so they can flow naturally again — and shows how this approach improves water quality, restores habitats, and creates green spaces for people. By focusing on projects such as Te Ara Awataha in Northcote, the text highlights the partnership between mana whenua, scientists, engineers, councils, and local communities in reconnecting with waterways and protecting the future of urban environments.

Through gentle narrative and rich sensory detail, the story follows Zoe as she spends a weekend at the family bach with her father and searches the beach for a special object to bring home to her artist mother.

Set on the planet Snood, where games have been banned for thousands of years, the story follows Bryn and her friend Shazz after they are caught breaking the law by playing a simple ball game. Sent to Earth as punishment, they observe — and then take part in — a game of football, discovering cooperation, fairness, and joy rather than the violence and disorder they have been warned about. Through fast-paced dialogue, vivid imagery, and a clever contrast between alien beliefs and human behaviour, the text invites readers to question assumptions about rules, control, and what truly causes conflict.

Carefully structured and richly illustrated, the text supports students to see history as layered, personal, and connected to place and material culture. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1089\" data-end=\"1335\"\u003eThe text is ideal for integrated learning across literacy, social sciences, and technology, supporting inquiry into survival, historical perspective, artefacts, and how objects can be used as sources of evidence in Aotearoa New Zealand histories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pack contains a range of response activities complete with activity explainer videos for exploring thinking skills and developing emotional understandings and compassionate inquiry including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlooms Higher Order Thinking activities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook Club guide for deepening text discussion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA range of activities to explore emotional understanding, compassionate inquiry, empathy development, vocabulary and developing skills for self and co-regulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1337\" data-end=\"1368\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1337\" data-end=\"1358\"\u003eCurriculum Phase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phase 3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1370\" data-end=\"1394\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1370\" data-end=\"1385\"\u003eYear Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Year 6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1396\" data-end=\"1637\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1396\" data-end=\"1425\"\u003eEnglish (NZC Levels 3–4):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1425\" data-end=\"1428\"\u003ereading for meaning and critical thinking, synthesising information across multiple sections, analysing how structure supports meaning, interpreting visual and written sources, building historical vocabulary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1639\" data-end=\"1852\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1639\" data-end=\"1692\"\u003eSocial Sciences – Aotearoa New Zealand Histories:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1692\" data-end=\"1695\"\u003elocal and national history, continuity and change, survival and adaptation, human responses to challenge, identity and belonging, use of historical sources\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1854\" data-end=\"1948\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1854\" data-end=\"1869\"\u003eTechnology:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1869\" data-end=\"1872\"\u003etechnological change, problem-solving, tools and innovations from the past\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1950\" data-end=\"2042\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1950\" data-end=\"1964\"\u003eText type:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1964\" data-end=\"1967\"\u003eNon-fiction, historical report, multi-text collection, informational text\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2044\" data-end=\"2443\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2044\" data-end=\"2066\"\u003eKey words include:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2066\" data-end=\"2069\"\u003eartefacts, survival, history, Napier earthquake, Harold Pond, natural disasters, sealers, sealing, Solander Island, Foveaux Strait, kurī, Monck’s Cave, moa, taonga, archaeology, technology, life-saving rocket, Tīmaru, Volunteer Rocket Brigade, sailing ships, shipwrecks, colonisation, adaptation, resilience, storytelling, objects as evidence, Aotearoa New Zealand histories\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Resource Cupboard NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44634857341126,"sku":"SJL3 November 2023: Four Stories Literacy Pack","price":8.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/6530\/1702\/files\/Cover.jpg?v=1747464452"},{"product_id":"sjl3-november-2023-te-aro-pa-thinking-feeling-pack","title":"SJL3 November 2023: Te Aro Pā Thinking\/Feeling Pack","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"215\" data-end=\"1021\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"215\" data-end=\"228\"\u003eTe Aro Pā\u003c\/strong\u003e by Fergus Porteous is an informative non-fiction text that weaves archaeology, oral history, and historical narrative to explore the significance of Te Aro pā in Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington).

The story follows Finch, a young person who sets out on a dangerous journey to save their family and restore water to their land after a greedy dragon blocks the mountain lake. Through encounters with a magical bird and the use of three small “treasures”, Finch learns that strength does not come from size or power but from kindness, clever thinking, and persistence.

Through the voice of a young narrator, the story follows a family preparing a series of surprises for their grandparents, Nanaji and Nani, who are visiting from India for the first time since the Covid pandemic. Each family member plans a reveal — a new electric car, a newly licensed driver, and the introduction of an older sister’s girlfriend — while the narrator dreams of surprising them with the family dog, Comet. The narrative gently builds tension around expectations, secrets, and cultural assumptions, showing how love and openness can bridge differences.

Through the voice of Api, a young boy spending the school holidays with his cousin Tyson, the story follows a week of working in a māra kai instead of enjoying a lazy break. What begins as frustration and rivalry gradually becomes a lesson in effort, empathy, and teamwork as Api learns new skills, pushes through tiredness, and reflects on what it really means to contribute. The competitive relationship between the cousins is central to the narrative, highlighting how comparisons can undermine confidence but also how growth can happen when priorities shift from winning to helping. Warm, realistic, and gently humorous, the text supports students to understand work ethic, family expectations, and personal growth through lived experience and voice. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"972\" data-end=\"1181\"\u003eThe text is ideal for integrated learning across literacy and health, supporting inquiry into relationships, resilience, responsibility, and contributing to whānau and community life in Aotearoa New Zealand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pack contains a range of response activities complete with activity explainer videos for exploring thinking skills and developing emotional understandings and compassionate inquiry including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlooms Higher Order Thinking activities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook Club guide for deepening text discussion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA range of activities to explore emotional understanding, compassionate inquiry, empathy development, vocabulary and developing skills for self and co-regulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1183\" data-end=\"1239\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1183\" data-end=\"1204\"\u003eCurriculum Phase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phase 2\u003cbr data-start=\"1212\" data-end=\"1215\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1215\" data-end=\"1230\"\u003eYear Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Year 4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1241\" data-end=\"1456\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1241\" data-end=\"1270\"\u003eEnglish (NZC Levels 2–3):\u003c\/strong\u003e reading for meaning and enjoyment, analysing character thoughts and actions, understanding narrative structure, making connections to personal experience, exploring theme and dialogue\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1458\" data-end=\"1586\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1458\" data-end=\"1492\"\u003eHealth and Physical Education:\u003c\/strong\u003e wellbeing, relationships, perseverance, teamwork, managing emotions, contributing to others\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1588\" data-end=\"1741\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1588\" data-end=\"1641\"\u003eSocial Sciences – Aotearoa New Zealand Histories:\u003c\/strong\u003e family and community life, work and responsibility, continuity and change, identity and belonging\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1743\" data-end=\"1807\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1743\" data-end=\"1757\"\u003eText type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiction, personal recount, reflective narrative\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1809\" data-end=\"2082\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1809\" data-end=\"1831\"\u003eKey words include:\u003c\/strong\u003e mahi, māra kai, holidays, family, whānau, cousins, rivalry, competition, helping others, responsibility, perseverance, resilience, teamwork, effort, contribution, relationships, learning new skills, work ethic, empathy, growth, cooperation, belonging\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Resource Cupboard NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44635855356102,"sku":"SJL2 June 2023 Holiday Mahi Thinking\/Feeling Pack","price":5.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/6530\/1702\/files\/SJL2_June_2023_Cover.jpg?v=1747546462"},{"product_id":"sjl2-june-2023-fact-or-opinion-thinking-feeling-pack","title":"SJL2 June 2023 Fact or Opinion?

Through clear definitions, illustrated scenarios, and engaging case studies, the text explains that facts are supported by reliable evidence such as research, observation, and data, while opinions reflect personal beliefs or points of view. The narrative uses examples like a debate about whether flying animals are birds or bats to show how evidence, expertise, and source reliability help determine what is true.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"621\" data-end=\"1162\"\u003eThe text also introduces practical strategies for critical thinking, including recognising opinion clues (such as “I think” or “in my view”) and fact clues (such as “the research suggests” or “experts say”).
