The Ten News, News For Curious Kids

History Detective is a podcast designed as a resource for students and teachers to use in the classroom. Every episode is accompanied by an original song written by the host Kelly Chase. In this episode, we meet the incredible Joan of Arc, who is one of the most famous teenage peasants from medieval Europe. History Detective tells the stories of  perspectives and people who may not always get featured in history textbooks and you can find it wherever you get your podcasts!

👑 This week on Get 2 Know The Ten News, we have our very own trivia queen and this time she isn't the one asking the questions!

😃 Tune in to learn about Tessa Flannery's favorite activities, world travels, and more!

Meet the Peacock Mantis Shrimp, a rainbow-coloured crustacean that has strong eyesight and an even stronger punch! Yep, you read that right, the mantis shrimp’s punch can be deadly...but we'll help them find their calm! 

(This episode mentions a contest that is now closed! But you can still go back and listen to all the Ocean Adventure episodes and play along just for fun!)
