FROM FASCINATING FACTS TO THE BIGGER PICTURE

Across 25 species and eight shark families, each new discovery becomes part of a bigger picture.
The consistent structure helps young explorers compare sharks, spot similarities and differences,
and discover how they all fit within the Ground Shark Order.

EVERY DISCOVERY MOVES THE EXPEDITION FORWARD

Each completed shark becomes part of a larger journey - building a tooth collection, recording progress and working towards completing all 25 species.

See progress build in clear five-shark milestones. Every five sharks unlocks a new expedition rank and an Ocean Break before the journey continues.

Earn a new Ground Shark rank every five sharks - progressing from Observer to Explorer, Tracker, Researcher and finally Ground Shark Expert, with a certificate to celebrate the completed expedition.

​Prefer listening while exploring? Optional read-along narration lets young explorers listen to the shark facts as they discover each species.

THE THINKING BEHIND PATTERN THINKERS STUDIO

logo square.png

FOR CURIOUS MINDS WHO WANT TO KNOW NOT JUST WHAT - BUT WHY AND HOW EVERYTHING FITS TOGETHER.

​

Pattern Thinkers Studio was founded by Colleen Blows, whose unusual path from electrical design engineering to psychology shaped a different approach to children's educational books.

​

Engineering brought a love of systems, structure and understanding how individual parts connect to a bigger picture. Psychology brought an understanding of how differently minds engage with, organise, and make sense of information.

 

Those perspectives come together in carefully structured expeditions that encourage children to connect discoveries, spot patterns and build understanding as they progress.
