Ahoy, me ol' hearties!
Great to see you beginning Season 16 with us!
And to those of you joining us for the very first time, a huge welcome. We're delighted to have you on board.
Once again, over the next 10 months we'll do everything we can to inform, engage and inspire you. After all, they say today's readers become tomorrow's leaders.
Of course, TPP wouldn't be the same without favourites such as Spot Seamie, WWW News and The Sportsbag. But we like to keep things fresh here at TPP HQ too, so we've added some exciting new features this year.
Turn to page 9 for the first instalment of our brand-new series, History's Mysteries, where we investigate some of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the past. Then head over to page 28 for Planet YOU, our new wellbeing series exploring the amazing science of how your brain works and how understanding yourself can help you become the very best version of you.
You'll also find Tony's review of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on our centre pages, packed with the best moments, fun facts and fascinating figures from football's biggest tournament.
Looking for Sudouko, the Maths Story or your Futoshiki? Don't worry – they're still here! As always, anything we can't squeeze into the magazine can be found in your teacher's TPP Pack. Just ask them to download the pack from the teacher’s section, but they will likely know this themselves!
Finally, we'd love to hear from you. If you have a question, an idea or even a suggestion for something you'd like to see in a future issue, email us at schools@theprimaryplanet.ie.
Right – enough from me. It's time to dive into The Primary Planet Issue 154.
Enjoy every word!
Stephen
