By teaching your children healthy eating habits you can help them to maintain healthy weight and normal growth. Also, the eating habits your children pick up when they are young will help them maintain a healthy lifestyle when they are adults.
Listening is an active process. Hearing just means listening to catch what the speaker is saying. Then they have to understand what was said and finally to judge or make sense.
Continuous assessment
Ask them if they drink fruit juice and eat fruit and vegetables every day.
Check if they order the sentences properly.

Flashcards Unit 3
WarmerDisplay the fruit and vegetable Flashcards. Ask: Do you know the names of the fruit and vegetables? Which are your favourites? Which do you eat regularly? Write a table with two headings: fruit, vegetables. Ask the children to classify the fruit and vegetables from the flashcards and to brainstorm more examples. Elicit or explain why fruit and vegetables are good for you.
i-book Use the i-flashcards to introduce the new vocabulary (fruits and vegetables). Ask them to classify them as you show them. Then open the i-poster. Ask the question What can you see? Let the children describe the scene. The idea is to go beyond this superficial question towards what they can REALLY see in the poster (ie. Happy, fit and healthy people leading a healthy lifestyle vs unhappy, unfit, unhealthy people). Ask the children to drag the circles to classify healthy and unhealthy food. Then, restart the activity and ask them to focus not on the food, but on the people eating that food and to drag the red circles to people who look unhealthy, sad or unfit and the green circles to those who look healthy, happy and fit. This will lead onto a class discussion where the children reflect on eating habits and their consequences.
Lead-inAsk the children if they like milk shakes and smoothies. Discuss their favourites. Ask: Where do you have them?
Are there juice bars near you? Do you have fresh juice at home every day, or do you have it more in cafés or at outdoor stands?

And what about you? 6 I don’t know... 7 Why don’t you have a smoothie? 8 I’m not sure. 9 How about trying papaya? It’s very good for you, and it’s delicious. 10 OK. I’d like a papaya and mango smoothie, please. A large one! 11 Wow! An excellent choice. Anything else? 12 No, thanks.

Wrap up
Divide the class into groups of four. Each group prepares and performs a short TV commercial for Jane’s Juice Bar. Encourage children to use expressions for ordering, making suggestions, and accepting and refusing advice. Go around helping with vocabulary. Invite several groups to perform their commercials in front of the class.

Lesson 5
Camila started Kids Company in 1996. At
!rst, Camila and other volunteers worked
in six converted railway arches. Now the
organisation has a sports centre, a canteen,
an art studio, a library, a beauty room and
a youth club. Young people can drop in
for a hot meal, have therapy, go to dance
classes or just talk! The centre encourages
activities that promote tolerance, teamwork
and youth leadership. Kids can do anything,
from playing basketball to learning circus
skills!
Camila is like a mum to the young people in Kids
Company. She says, ‘If you really think about it, if you
don’t have a parent there is no food in the house, no one
washes your clothes, organises socialising for you, takes
you to the doctor, the dentist or the optician. You live in
chaos.’ Kids Company gives a structure to children’s lives,
and also offers the love and care we all need.
Kie and Peter are two of Camila’s many happy stories. Kie is now 21, but she was only 10 when she started going to Kids Company. She had problems at home, especially with her father. She says, ‘The children I met, and the people and parents I had to guide me, have had a great in#uence on me. I understand the world better and myself, too. This has helped me to think about what to do with my life.’ Kie is now studying !lm and TV production, and in the future wants to make documentaries. Peter was homeless and in trouble with the police when he !rst arrived. His life at home was terrible. But now he is a happy 20-year-old, planning to go to university!
Many young people don’t have easy lives. They don’t have
parents who can support them. Some of them are homeless and
live on the streets. Others get into trouble with the police. But in
London, there is a special place where young people can go for
help, care and love. Kids Company is a charitable organisation
that provides practical, emotional and educational support to
13,000 children and teenagers each year. Every Christmas Day,
they offer a special lunch to 2,000 children with nowhere else
to go. All of this is possible thanks to an exceptional Iranian
woman named Camila Batmanghelidjh.

Lesson 5
WarmerAsk the children to imagine living on the street, not going to school, having no money, no home, or having a dirty, empty home with nobody to care for them regularly. Say: Imagine living without these things: meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner); something in the fridge when you’re hungry; money for treats; clean clothes; a nice bed to sleep in; someone to ask you about school; someone who takes you to school; someone who takes care of you when you’re sick, tired or upset; someone who cares about your education. Elicit reactions: It would be scary, sad and difficult. I wouldn’t want to go home. I probably wouldn’t get very good grades.
Lead-inDiscuss the fact that in every country in the world, there are young people who don’t have a good home life. Ask: What are some ways to help young people with problems?
1 1.28 Children read and listen to the story.
Optional extra: Ask comprehension questions: Paragraph 1: Where can young people go in London? Why do they go there? How many children get help? What happens at Christmas?
Paragraph 2: When did Kids Company start? Where did it start? What’s it like now? What can you do there?
Paragraph 3: How old was Kie when she started going to Kids Company? How did it help her? What is she planning to do with her life? What about Peter?Paragraph 4: What does Camila try to give the young people?

canteen. She rarely watches TV or goes to the cinema.
Unlike the children, who go away on adventure
holidays in the summer, she hasn’t taken a holiday
in years. She is too busy helping children!
Kids Company is Camila’s life. The real satisfaction
for her is when she sees so many of the young people
from Kids Company go on to university or to work,
and make happy lives at home.
Meet Camila!
Who is Camila Batmanghelidjh? And why did she
start Kids Company? Let’s !nd out.
If you ever meet Camila Batmanghelidjh, the !rst
thing you will notice is her appearance. Camila
always wears a brightly coloured turban and exotic
ethnic clothes. She calls these her entertainment.
On Mother’s Day, children at Kids Company give her
presents of pieces of cloth, and Camila sews them
together to make her clothes. Not only does she look
amazing, but she has had an exceptional life, too.
‘You couldn’t have a more privileged life than
mine,’ laughs Camila. In fact, she spent the !rst ten
years of her life in Tehran, Iran. She was the child
of a rich Iranian family. Her grandfather was a
multimillionaire and her father owned a sports centre
with an ice rink and swimming pool.
Although she came from a rich family, Camila
wanted to work with poor children. She was only 9
when she told her parents that she wanted to run
an orphanage. When she was 11, she was sent to a
private school for girls in the UK. Many of the girls
missed their families and were very unhappy. Camila
organised a self-help group so they could give each
other support. When she was 14, she decided what
she wanted to do in the future – to open a centre to
give love, kindness and care to children who didn’t
have those things. With Kids Company, that’s exactly
what she did!
However, not everything has been easy for Camila.
As a child she suffered learning dif!culties because
she had dyslexia. ‘Reading was hard, instructions,
too,’ she says. ‘Even now I can’t use a keyboard at
all.’ She doesn’t use a computer, she doesn’t drive,
and she never cooks – she eats the food served in the

Lesson 7
WarmerReview the different ways to give advice with the class. Elicit the patterns and write them on the board: You should/shouldn’t..., Why don’t you...?, If I were you, You must..., You mustn’t...
Lead-inElicit advice from the class by describing “problems” and asking for help: I want to buy a new car, but I don’t have enough money. I need to get some exercise. My back yard is very messy. I would like to eat a healthy diet.
1Children read, brainstorm advice and complete the chart.
AnswersDon’t think about failing. Imagine you are going to be a success. If you study in the evening, you shouldn’t go to be straight away. Listen to some relaxing music or read a book.
Optional extra: Ask the children to expand the imperatives in the chart using the ways of giving advice that they have learnt. Go around monitoring for the correct use of verb forms and expressions.
2 Children read and answer the questions.
Optional extra: Display the Poster (or open the i-poster on the Teacher’s i-book). In pairs the children choose one of the unhealthy people wearing red and purple. They write a short dialogue between the person expressing their problem and a friend giving advice. Pairs perform their sketch, the others guess who it is.
3 Children read and write a reply.
AnswersChild’s own writing
Optional extra: In groups the children brainstorm advice in the form of a mind map. Monitor discussions, helping with vocabulary. Invite several groups to share their advice for Michael. Individually, children then write a letter to Michael, offering advice.
Wrap upDistribute the white paper. Then explain to children that they are going to invent a “problem” and write a letter to Dr. Stress Buster. Encourage the children to write under an assumed name and to be imaginative, for example, they may choose to be a famous character from a book or film, such as Harry Potter, Cinderella or Jack Sparrow. Take up the letters and redistribute them around the class. The children form pairs to read the letters and brainstorm advice. Then, individually, children write a reply. Display the letters and the replies in the classroom. Have the class read the letters and share their favourites.
Children play a fun game matching each problem with its advice. This activity can be set up between two or more teams.
Optional extra: Cover the problems using the shade in Richmond i-tools and ask the children to predict the problems for the advice given. Alternatively, cover the pieces of advice and ask the children to give their own advice.

3 Children look at the pictures and retell the story with a classmate.
Optional extra: In small groups the children invent another short story or dialogue, trying to incorporate as many ough/augh words as possible. They present it to the class.
Fast finishersChildren think of other words with the ough or augh.
Wrap upDivide the class into two teams. One member from each team goes to the board. Choose an ough/augh word and spell it out loud. Players are not allowed to write until you have finished spelling. The first player to finish writing wins the opportunity to pronounce the word and earn a point for their team. Repeat the procedure with new players and words.
Children listen and drag the correct spelling to complete the words (-ough/-augh).

WarmerDiscuss vitamins with the class. Ask the following questions: What do vitamins do for your health? Your eyesight? Your bones? Your skin and muscles? Can you see vitamins? What happened before we knew about vitamins? Why do we need them? Do you know the names of any vitamins? How do we get vitamins? Do we need to take vitamin pills? Is it dangerous to have too many vitamins?
i-book Use the Vocabulary Game Generator to review the key vocabulary covered in previous lessons. See page 22 for games instructions and ideas.
Lead-inDivide the class into groups of three or four and distribute one food package to each group. On the board, write Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin C and Vitamin D as headings. Tell the children to work out which of the foods has the most vitamin A by looking at the nutritional labels. Award points to the group with the winning food and write the name under the heading. Continue with vitamins B, C and D. Elicit other foods with a high content of each vitamin.
i-book Open the lead-in activity. The children look at the pictures and say what they can see. Open the sample questions and discuss. Encourage children to search the Internet to find out the vitamins each of the pictures on the screen contain (carrot, orange, salmon...)
Optional extra: Ask the children to identify other products where they can find each vitamin. Notice that foods can include more than one vitamin. They can also identify the main benefits of these vitamins.
1 Children read the text and answer the questions.
Answers1 Because they did not eat enough citrus fruits. They got a disease called scurvy. 2 They help convert food into energy. 3 They are provided by a normal varied diet.
Optional extra: Ask the children more comprehension questions about the text. What were the symptoms of scurvy? What vitamin did the sailors lack? Where could they find this vitamin? How does vitamin C help our bodies? What’s special about coloured fruit?
2 Children read again and complete the fact !le.
AnswersVitamin A: orange fruits and vegetables and green vegetables (carrots, papaya, spinach), keep your eyes strong. Vitamin C: Citrus fruits (lemons, oranges), tomatoes, broccoli, keeps your gums and muscles in good condition, helps your body resist infection. Vitamin D: milk, eggs and fish, sunlight, keeps your bones and teeth strong.
Optional extra: Ask the children to underline words related to health. Then call out simple definitions to have the class guess the word: This is a disease you have when you don’t get enough vitamin C. (Scurvy.) Encourage more confident children to define health words for the class to identify.
Wrap upDivide the class into groups of five. Each group must design a crossword puzzle, writing ten clues about vitamins and foods based on the article or what they have learnt in class. Encourage groups to use the First conditional. Groups then exchange and solve each other’s crosswords.

The element of language that best express a society’s values and beliefs is its proverbs. Every country has different proverbs.
A proverb is a simple and concrete saying, popularly known and repeated, that expresses a truth based on common sense.
Songs and raps are a very good mazing way to improve language learning.
Continuous assessment
Ask children if they know any more typical proverbs which they may have learnt from their parents or family.
