Welcome back, old friends and new!
Season 15 of The Primary Planet is underway, and we are delighted that you could join us!
The summer has flown by – it always does – and you are all one year further up the ladder of primary school. In fact, many of you reading this may now be perched at the top. It only took you eight years to reach it – so now, you better enjoy it!
This season, we bring you all your favourite features once again – plus some brand-new ones! Step into Planet Music on page 24, where we explore the sounds, stories and legends that make music part of life for us all. Flip over to Planet Food on page 25, where we serve up tasty facts and fun foodie challenges. And for all you sports nuts, check out Tony’s World Cup Countdown in Planet Soccer, where we track the teams, players and big matches as the excitement builds for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
For those of you looking for your usual Crack the Quote and TPP Crossword, don’t worry … we have included them in your teacher’s TPP pack. Just ask them to download the pack from the teachers' section, but they will likely know this themselves!
Don’t forget, we are always eager to hear from you, so don’t think twice about getting in touch with all your comments, questions and suggestions by emailing schools@theprimaryplanet.ie.
Right! Let’s not waste any more of your time – dive straight into Issue #144 of TPP and enjoy every word, sentence and story … just don’t forget to come up for air!
Until next month,
Stephen
