Food & Health
🍕 What is Pizza Omakase? It's a fun way to eat pizza where the chef chooses all the slices for you like a surprise pizza party!
🇯🇵 The idea came from Japan, where people sit at a sushi bar and let the chef decide what yummy sushi to serve. Now they do that with pizza too!
👨🍳A cool chef named Franco Pepe started making special pizza tasting menus in Italy like starting with fried pizza and ending with dessert pizza!
🌎 You can try pizza omakase in places like Italy, Costa Rica, the USA, and Japan each spot has its own fun flavors and styles!
🍽️ You get one slice of each pizza, and it's made just for you based on what you like. It's like going on a pizza adventure
🧂 Too much salt and fat isn't good! Hot dogs, burgers, and sauces can have too much salt and fat, which isn't great for your heart and tummy.
🍗 Choose better meats! Instead of only sausages and burgers, try chicken, turkey, or fish like salmon they're yummier and healthier!
🥦 Don't forget the veggies! Grill colorful vegetables like corn, peppers, and mushrooms. Your belly bugs (gut bacteria) love them!
🥫 Go easy on sugary sauces and drinks! Store-bought sauces and soda can have lots of sugar. Try making your own sauces or drink water with fruit!
🎉 Barbecues can still be fun! You don't have to skip all the treats just eat a little bit of the not so healthy stuff, and lots of the good stuff too!
Fun Facts
- The word "omakase" in Japanese means "I'll leave it up to you" putting complete trust in the chef to create a special dining experience!
- Grilled vegetables can actually develop more antioxidants when cooked, making them even healthier than their raw counterparts!

Sports
🚵 The Tour de France is going into the big mountains on Monday! The riders will go up and down a lot of hills in a very hard stage called the Massif Central.
⛰️ There will be 8 big hills to climb! The bikers will ride 165.3 kilometers (that's super far!) and will finish at the top of a mountain.
💪 It's going to be a super tough day. The race boss says the riders need to be very strong to do well in this stage.
🏆 Right now, a rider from Slovenia named Tadej Pogacar is in the lead. He's only a little bit ahead of the others, so Monday could change everything!
😴 After this big day, the riders get a rest on Tuesday! But first, they have to work really hard on Monday's mountain adventure.
🏄 Surfing is a super cool fun water sport where you ride waves using a board, and it has been there for over 1,000 years!
🌊 Surfing started in the Pacific Ocean. The first surfers were Polynesians from places like Hawaii and Tahiti. It was part of their culture, not just a sport.
🏄♂️ There are different kinds of surfboards. Shortboards are fast, longboards are easier for beginners, and bodyboards are for lying down and riding waves.
🌎 People surf all over the world now. It's even in the Olympics! Some famous surfers are Kelly Slater, Carissa Moore, and Gabriel Medina.
🗣️ Surfers have their own cool words! Like "gnarly" (hard or scary), "Wipeout" (falling), and "stoked" (super happy).
Fun Facts
- Riders in the Tour de France burn around 5,000-7,000 calories per day during the race that's like eating 25-35 chocolate bars worth of energy!
- The longest wave ever surfed was in 2011 by American surfer Garrett McNamara in Portugal - he rode a massive 78 foot (24-meter) wave!

Space & Science
🌠 The Delta Aquariid meteor shower is coming, and you can see it in the sky between July 12 and August 23. The best night to watch will be July 30, when you might see up to 25 shooting stars every hour!
🌌 These meteors are tiny space rocks that burn up in the sky and look like bright streaks of light. They come from a comet called 96P/Machholz, which leaves a trail of dust as it flies near the Sun.
🔭 You don’t need a telescope just your eyes!
Go outside, look up, and let your eyes get used to the dark for about 20 minutes before watching.
Go outside, look up, and let your eyes get used to the dark for about 20 minutes before watching.
🏕️ Try to watch from a dark place away from city lights. Bring a blanket or a chair so you can lie back and watch comfortably without getting cold or tired.
✨ It’s like a space light show, and you’re seeing real pieces of a comet flying through Earth’s sky. So grab your family, look up, and enjoy the magic of space!
💪 Superpowers are real! Scientists say it's thanks to special genes or lots of practice!
🧗 Super Fearless: Alex Honnold climbs giant cliffs without ropes. His brain works differently, and he trained himself to stay calm by planning carefully.
⛰️ Mountain Heroes: The Sherpas live high in the mountains where there’s less air. Their bodies have special powers to use oxygen better so they stay strong.
🏊 Super Swimmers: Bajau people live near the ocean and can dive underwater for a long time up to 13 minutes! They have big spleens that give their bodies extra oxygen while they swim.
⚔️ Lightning Reflexes: Isao Machii is a samurai! He he can cut a flying bullet in half with his sword super fast!
🧠 Super Memory: Some people can remember a whole deck of cards or tons of names in minutes! But With practice, anyone can improve their memory!
Fun Facts
- Meteors in the Delta Aquariid shower travel at an incredible speed of about 25 miles (40 kilometres) per second as they enter Earth's atmosphere!
- The Bajau people's spleens are about 50% larger than average human spleens, which helps them store more oxygen-rich blood for their underwater dives!

Animals
🐵 Chimpanzees can follow fashion trends just like humans do, which means they sometimes copy each other just because something looks fun or cool.
🌿 In a place called Zambia, some scientists noticed a group of chimpanzees putting blades of grass in their ears, and soon other chimps started the same thing.
👯 The scientists saw that more and more chimpanzees were copying this strange behaviour, even though putting grass in their ears didn't help them get food or stay safe it just looked funny or stylish.
👟 This kind of behaviour is a lot like what people do with fashion trends, like when someone wears a new kind of shoe or hairstyle and then others start copying them.
🧠 The scientists said this shows that chimpanzees have their own kind of culture, just like humans do, because they can start fun habits and share them with their friends.
🤔 Even though sticking grass in your ear might seem silly, it helps us learn that chimpanzees are smart and social, and they like to fit in with their group too
✨ Fireflies can still glow in big cities! Even though cities are full of lights and buildings, some strong little fireflies still flash their lights at night.
💡 Too much light makes it hard for fireflies to talk. Fireflies use their glow to find friends and mates, but bright lights from buildings and street lamps can confuse them.
🌳 You can find fireflies in parks and grassy places. Fireflies like quiet, dark spots with grass, trees, and flowers like Central Park or city fields, especially in late June.
🧪 Pesticides and pollution hurt fireflies. Spraying chemicals on lawns or for mosquitoes can harm fireflies and their baby larvae that live in the soil.
🌙 Turning off outdoor lights helps them a lot. At night, closing curtains and switching off garden lights gives fireflies the darkness they need to shine and survive.
✨ Fireflies are magical and worth protecting. They connect us to nature and remind us how amazing the world is so we should all do our part to keep them safe.
Fun Fact
- Chimpanzees share about 98.8% of their DNA with humans, making them our closest living relatives in the animal kingdom!
- There are over 2,000 different species of fireflies worldwide, and not all of them light up! Some species communicate through pheromones instead of light signals.

Environment
🌊 Coral reefs are like colourful underwater cities. Tiny algae live inside them, colour them and help feed them.
🔥 When the ocean gets too hot, corals get stressed like when we feel sick. They push out the algae, lose their colour, and turn white. This is called coral bleaching.
🤒 Bleached corals are still alive, but very weak they might die if the ocean doesn't cool down soon.
🏠 Coral reefs help people too they protect beaches, give food to fish, and support jobs for many people.
🌍 Things like climate change, pollution, and dirty water can all cause coral bleaching. If we don't help, more coral reefs will get sick and disappear.
🧢 Cam Bren singer started NEMO when he was 26 to make cool outdoor gear like tents and sleeping bags.
🌿 He cares a lot about the planet and makes sure NEMO’s products are eco-friendly and last a long time.
🪑 One of his favourite creations is a swinging, reclining camp chair perfect for relaxing by a campfire!
🥾 Cam and his team go on outdoor trips to test their gear and come up with new ideas.
🌎 He hopes more people will care about the Earth and choose products that help protect it.
🕰️ His advice: Don’t worry if things take time adventures are full of surprises!
Fun Facts
- Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean floor but are home to more than 25% of all marine species!
- The name NEMO stands for "New England Mountain Equipment" and was inspired by Cam's love for the outdoors in New England!
