  • studies in language arts, with lots of writing opportunities;
  • a hands-on history section, where the student gets to play detective
  • geography studies, including working with and creating maps, and understanding waves and currents
  • cultural studies, including some food fun with a focus on favourites from South Africa
  • a dip into genetics and chromosomes in the science section and a section on weather and weather patterns

The unit can be used in its entirety or it can be used as a resource to dip into for the odd activity or area of interest..

Seekers-Cover-5.jpgAbout the book: When studious and serious Simon (12) discovers a bottle on the water's edge, he imagines pirates and all kinds of ancient folklore. But when he discovers a message inside the bottle, he and his twin siblings, Kim and Nic, are thrust into an adventure unlike anything they've ever experienced.  The biggest quest?  Finding the person who wrote the message and uncovering the answer to his question.  Fast-paced, exciting and yet poignant, Seekers of the Lost Boy explores the darkness of forced removals (from District Six during the apartheid years of South Africa), the healing of forgiveness and the power of discovering truth.
