Squiz Kids

A secret rescue mission, a resistance fighter known as the White Mouse, and a radio operator who crossed crocodile-infested waters to send lifesaving reports.

Ahead of Remembrance Day on November 11, Christie heads into the Squiz Kids Vault to revisit the remarkable stories of three Australian women who risked their lives to help others during World War II.

Join Amanda and Bryce to discover how Joice NanKivell Loch helped families escape to safety, why Nancy Wake kept the German secret police guessing, and what kept Ruby Boye-Jones at her remote island radio post despite threats and danger.

Three women whose courage, determination and compassion deserve to be remembered. Listen carefully, there’s a S’Quiz at the end!

A little heads-up: if you’re eating or already feeling queasy, you might want to save this episode for later!

A wobbly tummy, a dash for a bucket… and a surprisingly coordinated response inside your body! Sophie, who’s eight and from Douglas in Cork, Ireland, wants to know why tummy bugs make us vomit.

In this Squiz Kids Science Short, Christie investigates how your gut raises the alarm, why your brain takes charge, and which muscles do the squeezing. We also explore how tummy bugs spread, what helps when you’re sick, and why washing your hands matters.
