Detailed information on Australia’s role in the Beijing Olympics is presented on this website. Athletes has biographies and photographs of the Australian team. News is constantly being updated and includes daily locations of The torch relay and a countdown clock. A range of teaching resources can be downloaded
free when teachers join the a.s.p.i.r.e school network. The BK zone is for student interaction via Letter link and Chat time: talk to Olympians. The site allows students to visit all the venues, read the events timetable, view official images of athletes and find information about Beijing and China. A highly engaging, informative site, this is a useful teaching and learning resource. D. Imison

FRENCH, Jackie & WHATLEY, Bruce
The Shaggy Gully Times: the f(p)unniest newspaper you’ll ever read
HarperCollins, NSW, 2007
ISBN 9780732284107
This tribute to country newspapers is, as the title suggests, full of jokes and puns. All the common elements of a newspaper are represented, including advertisements, poems, public notices and classifieds, as well as a sports section and personal columns. There are skewed fairytales with headlines such as Blonde intruder and the three bears. Many itemscontain characters familiar to fans ofFrench and Whatley, such as Josephine the kangaroo ballerina, Petethe sheep, and Mothball the wombat. Witty, short pieces may be read in isolation and would be particularly good for reading aloudproviding an excellent basis for a class television or radio script aswell as a great stimulus for students’ creative writing. This entertaining book may also prove useful for community studies. A. Beedles
