Having Autism can sometimes make school life challenging. Loud noises can hurt a child's ears as the volume can be turned up much louder in their ears. If a child gets upset, lining toys up or building towers can help calm them down. Looking at pictures instead of words can help with understanding the timetable better. Some foods can hurt their tummy so special foods are packed in their lunch box. If they do not speak to you it is not because they don't want to be your friend, they may struggle with words or prefer playing alone. Their skin can be extra sensitive so sand sticking to their hands or labels in their clothes can make them feel extra uncomfortable and itchy. It is important for us to be kind to each other every day and understand that we are all different and sometimes need an extra helping hand from our friends. Thank you for being a good friend and for being Autism Aware and showing that you care.

This biography of native American chief Sore-Belly, war-lord of the Crows, is a thorough and unique account of the life and times of the greatest Crow war-chief who raised the Crows to the ascendancy they once achieved on the Northern High Plains. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth century the pursuit of intertribal warfare was an inseparable element of the Plains Indians' day-to-day existence with one hostile act being reciprocated by another, creating a never-ending cycle of aggression between the tribes. Brian Keefe has listened to, recorded and studied hundreds of eye-witness accounts passed down the generations in the oral tradition. He has correlated accounts from separate sources to provide persuasive evidence about specific raiding parties, skirmishes and outright battles as well as providing a fascinating insight to a culture and way of life that is largely lost.
