re ture r t Of The Futu sport Tra ransp Is this the future?

Every day we use cars, buses, bikes and trains to get around. But how will we travel in the future? We asked three experts for their predictions.

‘I think we’ll use small flying machines, like the Jetson,’ says scientist David Harris. ‘The Jetson is like an alien spaceship, but it’ll fly like a helicopter. It’ll travel three metres above the ground and people will take off and land in their gardens. The Jetson will be easy to fly too. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!’

‘Future transport won’t pollute,’ says Dr Klein from the Science Museum. ‘The i-unit is a good example of this type of transport.

There won’t be any pollution because it’s electric, and it’ll be quiet because it’s very small. Will this be the transport of the future? I hope so. But will drivers wear the funny i-unit suit too? Let’s wait and see!’

‘Traffic jams will be a big problem,’ predicts Professor Field, ‘but they won’t be a problem if you’ve got a Light-Sport Aircraft. If you’re in a rush, you can get out of the car, fold out its wings and fly into the air. Easy! It’s a big improvement on other ideas for future transport because it’s a car and a plane. We’ll probably see the Light-Sport Aircraft in the shops soon. Start saving your money because it won’t be cheap!’

The Magic Amule t 1

Ra: I don’t believe it! You touched the amulet!

Holly: I’m sorry … but where are we?

Ra: I’ll tell you where – we’re in ancient Egypt!

Max: No chance!

Holly: Look! The half amulet! I’m wearing it!

Ra: Yes, and we’re going to find the other half.

Holly: Is the amulet magic?

Ra: Many years ago the amulet belonged to a great Pharaoh.

It was magic and very powerful. Bad people tried to kill the Pharaoh and take the amulet’s power, so the Pharaoh broke the amulet in two. The Pharaoh hid half of the amulet to save his kingdom.

Ra: We can’t go back to our time with half an amulet.

Max: But how are we going to find the other half?

Ra: Well, we aren’t going to stay here! We’re going to walk to those pyramids. Then you’re going to look for it!

Max: Ow! My foot!

Holly: Poor Max! He can’t walk.

Ra: Hey, there’s a taxi and it’s going to town.

The Great River Race What is it?

The Great River Race is a marathon, a rowing race and a river carnival all in one! The race is every September on the River Thames.

How did it start?

The first Great River Race was in 1988. The idea came from another race called the Doggett Race. This was a Thames Watermen race, and started a long time ago, in 1715. In those days the boats were like taxis, and picked up passengers along the river. Today all the boats in the Great River Race are rowing boats and they all have a passenger. Someone fires a cannon at the start of the race, just like they did in 1715!

Who can enter?

Anyone can enter the race and all types of rowing boats compete.

This year there’s going to be a Viking long boat, a Chinese dragon boat and even a bathtub!

This year’s race

About 300 boats and 2,000 people will compete this year. The boats will depart from Richmond, race thirty-five kilometres, and arrive at Greenwich three or four hours later. Hard work … but there’s a big party at the end, and lots of prizes. There’s even a prize for fancy dress!

Tickets for the race are on sale now.

Hurry, they won’t last long!
