Whizzy’s Incredible Journeys—Pick-a-Path book
Whizzy's Incredible Journeys
The book is a valuable classroom resource that uses narrative fiction to engage primary students in learning about water conservation and the water cycle. It comprises a series of four separate journeys, and students are invited to accompany Whizzy the waterdrop on these adventures that are both fun and informative.
This resource has been specifically designed and published in big book format so teachers can undertake focused learning opportunities with the whole class. The large book size enables teachers to use appropriate illustrations for lessons on key Waterwise and water cycle topics.
