What’s Inside?

Feature articles

  • 10 Animals Up Past 10 — At sunset, most animals head for the safety of their den, burrow or nest. But, some animals are just waking up! Find out how these nocturnal animals are specially adapted to finding their way around the dark.
  • Ancient Ruins of Africa — Many people think about the pyramids, the Colosseum or medieval castles when they think about ruins. But, these ancient ruins of Africa have great stories to tell about the advanced and prosperous people who lived there.
  • The Language of Time — Every day, we use terms like today, soon, now, and weekend. But, do you know where these terms come from and what they mean? Hint: there are nymphs, gods, kings and donkeys involved.

Description

Welcome to our 55th issue and the beginning of Volume 10! Our Supernova team is so excited to bring to life all of our new ideas, stories and creations for you to enjoy! This issue also marks our 10th year of publishing Supernova… so ‘Happy Birthday’ to us! Our founder, Benoit, created the magazine in 2011 with a spectacular vision of creating eye-opening content for the curious kids of South Africa to enjoy. Within the magazine, we’ve travelled far and wide across the globe (and across South Africa!), learnt about many awesome animal species, created some mind-boggling crafts, been in touch with different cultures, and learnt about worlds beyond our planet – just to name a few.

So far, Supernova has been enjoyed by over 44 000 people! Over the last 10 years, it has been incredible to see our magazine grow, change and evolve into what it is today. This definitely wouldn’t be possible without the awesome team of creatives that have left bits of themselves in every issue for you to find. Check out our Chatroom section for a trip down Supernova’s memory lane. These are only some of the people that have helped make Supernova the best kids’ mag in SA! We hope you enjoy this special years first issue of SN’s Volume 10.

Here’s to the next 10 years of Supernova, and to always being a curious kid!
