Are you a good detective? The Vocabulary Constabulary needs your help. This is all you have to do. You can often detect the meaning of a word by reading it in context, that is, by reading the other words around it in a piece of text. Find the page and the article in TPP and then detect the word or phrase that solves the clue to its meaning. The number of letters and the starting letter of the solution are in brackets after each clue.

A Problem Shared is a Problem Halved
Fill in the blanks with words from the word bank. REMEMBER – each sentence should make sense!
(This is an article which first appeared in Planet Wellbeing, in the November 2016, edition of The Primary Planet)
I’ve always got on really well with pretty much everyone in my class, but just recently I’ve noticed that I’m being left out of stuff and sometimes the other girls in the class start laughing at me when I walk past, or when I say something in class. A girl who used to be my friend told me it’s because I’m not cool
and even she will only talk to me when the others aren’t around, as she’s scared of being left out as well. Help! Roisin, aged 11
Hi Roisin,
It sounds to me like there’s a bit of a “clique” developing in your class - a clique usually refers to a group
of people who spend time together and don’t ____________ (1) others into the group, often going out of their way to ____________ (2) them. Unlike groups of friends, who have shared interests such as sport or____________ (3), a clique works in a different way, and there will often be a leader who decides what goes and who is ‘in or out’.
Whilst you might feel at times that you would give ____________ (4) to be in this ‘cool’ group, ask yourself if you really want to be part of a group that treats ___________ (5) in this way. A group where people, l ike your (former) friend, feels afraid to ___________ (6) to someone not in the ‘clique’?
In a healthy friendship group, you can have your own ___________ (7) and say what you really feel – there should be no strict __________ (8) deciding what you can and ___________ (9) do and you should
_____________ (10) good about being in the group – this is real friendship.
So, instead of focusing on this group, reach out and ____________ (11) friends with people who share your interests and who don’t want you to change to suit them. If you try to be the type of friend you’d
l ike to have, someone who is kind, supportive and ____________ (12), you’ll soon find that the friends you attract will be ____________ (13) friends who you can like and trust.
Know this: ____________ (14) will come and go; true friends are for l ife.
And finally, if you feel these girls are being mean continuously, you must tell someone – the teacher, your_____________ (15), the principal … chances are they will have an idea already.

Editing- a vital skil!Can you find the errors in the story below? There are ten spelling mistakes, five capital letters
have been omitted and five full stops have also been left out.
This article first appeared in Planet History in the November 2016 edition of The Primary Planet.
Nightwatchmen Needed
When you visit Glasnevin Cemetry and Museum, you get to learn about the lives of some of
the most famous Irish people, now interred in one of Europe’s largest burial grounds
And when you need a rest from stroleing through the beautifully kept grounds and
pathways, the glasnevin Tower Café is on hand to provide a wellcome cup of tea. But, did
you know, the café takes its name from something less welcoming? namely, a tower, once
built to fend off dreaded bodysnatchers!
When the cemetery opened its gates in 1832, the world was not as we now know it Colleges
of medicine, for example, were buzy making huge breakthroughs in cures and anatomy (the
study of the body) To do this, students and professers alike needed bodies to work on and
investigate
this new ‘demand’ for such ‘goods’ gave rise to bodysnatching, and where better to snatch
a body than in a cemetery.
This awful branch of theft became so rampent that the name ‘resurrectionists’ was given to
bands of theives in Ireland, who were making a name for themselves across the water.
As with many stake outs, the thieves would ‘wander’ among the graves during the day,
looking to seek out hidden or freshly dug graves. then, when night fell, they would return to
dig up the bodys and sell them (illegally, of course) for medical reserch
Glasnevin Cemetery, in a bid to put a stop to this, built a mobile tower that could be moved
to different parts of the grounds, as needed. a number of years later, large stone
watchtowers, which you can still see to this day, were built inside the walls and manned
with nightwatchmen and guard dogs!
So, when you are biteing into a warm scone and sipping your tea in the Tower Café, spare a
thought for the night watchmen who once guarded the grounds from the resurrectionists!

Fun Puzzles
1. Doublets
Doublets are word puzzles invented by Lewis Carroll. Transform one word into another by changing a single letter in each step, so that each link in the chain is a valid word.
For example, to change MORE into LESS with 3 links: MORE, lore, lose, loss, LESS (There will often be several ways to solve the doublet but remember, each link must be a valid word!)
Now try these Change COST into LIFE with 3 links Change BOAT into DEAL with 3 links Change PAST into CURE with 3 links

Drama Cards – Over To YouThis month, we are inviting you to base your drama lesson on Science. What else?
The scenario is simple: You are working in a laboratory and are devising something that will change the face of the world forever. The only question is: Is it for the good of the world, or to its detriment? A number of people are involved. Have a look below. You are free to add in or take out, as you and your group see fit. Remember, everyone in the group must have a meaningful role.
NOW, ACTION!
Main
ScientistYou are the man or woman
with the plan. Perhaps it might be useful to keep the plan to yourself to begin with – leave the audience guessing as to
what it is you are up to? And what your motivations are.
Scientist's Helper
This could be an interesting role – perhaps you are unaware ofthe work your boss is really up
to – or perhaps he or she is unaware of what you are really
up to. Maybe you are in cahoots with the investor?
InvestorAll major scientific reserach plans need someone with money to back them and
support them. You won't part with your millions unless you
truly believe in what these team of scientists are doing. Or, at least, what you have been told they are doing.
A.N. OtherFrom security guards to
students, and from nosey janitors to blackmailing
criminals ... the list goes on. Have fun!
Head of the Faculty
At the end of the day, the buck stops with you. this is your
faculty, and your reputation on the line. Is there a scientist doing something that will
destroy your career? Do you need to let tehe authorities
know? Maybe you know something you shouldn't?
ReporterYou have received information
from one of your sources in the science faculty that not all is as it seems. Perhaps there
was some very strange ingredients being shipped in
the dead of night. Or your sources have heard rumours
circulating about the happenings in the main lab.
You come to investigate.

Did you know … about Father Browne?
Fr Francis Browne was on board the Titanic when it sailed into Cobh in 1912. A rich passenger offered to pay his fare to take him all the way to America. When the priest contacted his superior, he was told not to go. He possibly felt disappointed at the time, but the order he received, probably saved his life. Fr Browne took some famous photographs of the ship as it sailed off towards America. However, Titanic never made it, and lucky Fr Browne lived until 1960.
