0:00.0 | Hello, I'm Bex and welcome to The Week Junior show. Today I'm joined by two of the team from the week junior, the magazine Making Sense of the World for 8 to 14 year olds. |
0:08.9 | We've got editor Vanessa and writer Eve. So, lots to cover in today's episode. We're going to be talking about India's tiger population, a rebuilding project in Iraq, and Waipu is taking centre stage at the Yulvik Viking Festival next week. |
0:22.3 | We'll also be having a big debate about whether it's time to ditch Valentine's Day. |
0:26.3 | So, this week's well-being feature in the magazine is all about clearing out clutter, |
0:30.9 | because having a tidy-up can make you feel happy and relaxed. |
0:34.1 | Tidying up is a great way to discover old things you've not seen or not used for a while. |
0:39.6 | So I want to know what is something you like rediscovering when you're clearing up. Now, I won't |
0:43.9 | like you. My room is an absolute tip. There's a lot of stuff in there. Mostly papers that I've |
0:48.4 | saved through the years. And I do keep a scrapbook, so I try and keep them more safe somewhere. But every now and again, when I'm tidying up, I'll find an invitation to a party or maybe a birthday card someone has sent me, |

1:13.8 | haven't seen for a while. Eve, how about you? I too am also, clearly we're a bit of a messy bunch here. |
1:19.7 | I'm also not super tidy. But when I am tidying up, I really enjoy finding my old diaries that I used to |
1:26.7 | write when I was a child stored underneath my bed. |
1:29.4 | And then I usually do a dramatic reading for my parents. |
1:33.5 | And I remember very vividly finding one that said, I wrote in it when I was 10. |
1:39.1 | And I said, when I'm older, I want to be a journalist, which I thought was really cute. |
1:42.5 | Oh, that's amazing. |
1:45.1 | Living 10-year-old Eve's dream. |
1:46.6 | Dreams come true. |
1:47.4 | Oh, that's a nice thing to rediscover. |
1:51.1 | Now, let's talk about the cover of this week's issue, Vanessa. |
