What’s happening in 2027?
The new Science Curriculum is here, and we’re starting our 2027 programme with two refreshed shows: Billy Goats Gruff and Move It! These are closest to the new curriculum knowledge, so we’re building on what works and making changes where they make sense.

Billy Goats Gruff | Years 0 to 3
Our science storytelling version of the classic tale gets a 2027 refresh, connecting with new curriculum knowledge about how pushes and pulls affect the movement of objects. The goats still have to outsmart the troll, while students make predictions, watch carefully and figure out what’s happening.

Move It! | Years 4 to 6
Space Chick Steve is still flying across the hall! We’re refreshing Move It! around the new curriculum knowledge for Years 4–6, while keeping the experiments, surprises and investigations into how and why things move.

2027 bookings are open! Auckland school bookings are available Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with Waikato kura able to request bookings too. There are fewer dates than usual, so get your preferred date sorted early.
