04 Fun in the jungle

Pupil's Book, Unit 4 page 45 1 Listen. What did May and Fred make last week? Diversicus is in India. This afternoon Rose is talking to Fred and May about the new show for their world tour. Good afternoon. Hi, Fred. Hi, May. How's the design for the new show? Look at this. This is our design for the jungle. We finished it yesterday. Ah, yes. The jungle at night time. That's fantastic! I love the sky. The moon and stars are shining on the waterfall. That's nice. They're shining on the leaves, too. I like that. Those big plants are beautiful. Great! . . . And what are you working on today? We're working on the design of the island and the sea. We need to make some waves which we can move. Look at this. . . . What do you think? Yes, that's brilliant, but the acrobats need to hold them. Yes, that's right! Six acrobats have to move three waves up and down. We made some fantastic blue costumes for them last week. Come on, Rose! Would you like to go for a swim? . . . The water's great. Oh no, thanks, Pablo. Those waves are very big and I'm frightened of big waves. 2 Say the chant.

Listen, look and choose. Last night there was a programme on TV about animals which live in India. Did you see it, Charlie? Yes, I did, Peter. It was great. I liked the elephants best. They're huge, but they can swim well. That was really interesting. Yeah, . . . they don't run as quickly as monkeys or tigers, but they can move faster than snakes. I thought the Bengal tigers were the most exciting. They can swim better than elephants and they can run faster than monkeys. Yes, but monkeys and snakes can climb better than tigers. Hmm. What about the bears? They can run more quickly than monkeys. Yeah, I didn't know that before the programme, but do you know which animal moves the most quickly? Yes, it's the bat. They told us in the programme. The bat moves the fastest. It flies faster than birds and can move more quickly than the animals on the ground. Yes, and did you know that bats always fly at night time to get their food? Yes, I did . . . and did you know that tigers can catch their food at night time, too? They can see much better at night than we can. OK! Bengal tigers are the best. You win, Peter! Grammar spotlight Elephants can move faster than snakes. Monkeys can climb better than tigers. Bears can run more quickly than monkeys.

Pupil's Book, Unit 4 page 50 2 Listen and read. Then answer the questions. Plants are living things and grow almost everywhere - from the bottom of the sea to the highest mountain. What plants grow near you? Most plants make food using sunlight. They also need water to survive, just like us! Plants usually have three parts to them: roots, a stem and leaves. The roots take up water from the ground and the leaves take in sunlight and air around them for food. Some plants also have flowers or fruit. Pupil's Book, Unit 4 page 51 5 Listen and read. Then answer the questions. Carnivorous plants Like most other plants, carnivorous plants need sun, air and water to make their own food. But they also get extra nutrients by eating small animals! Here are two examples: The Venus flytrap Venus flytraps grow naturally in the USA but are used as house plants all over the world. They use their leaves to catch insects, like flies. The leaves close when an insect touches the tiny hairs that grow on them. The plant can then slowly eat the insect. The Sundew plant Sundew plants are found in the Indian rainforests. They can grow in soil that is underwater. Their leaves have sticky hairs and when an insect lands on the leaves, the sticky hairs trap them. Large sundew plants can trap and eat spiders.

Pupil's Book, Unit 4 page 52 THE STORY OF RAMA AND SITA Long ago a king lived in the town of Ayodhya. He had four sons. One day he said, ‘I am getting very old now and I want my oldest son Rama to be king. ‘No! ’ Rama's stepmother cried. ‘My son must be king! ’ The King listened to his wife, and he sadly told his oldest son to leave. Rama couldn't return to Ayodhya for 14 years. Rama and his wife, Sita, left Ayodhya. They travelled for many days until they came to a forest. ‘This looks like the perfect place to live, ’ said Rama. For many years, they lived happily in the forest. But there was a terrible man called Ravana in the forest. He saw Sita one day and he wanted to take her. He had a plan. One day, Sita saw a beautiful golden deer. ‘Rama, catch it for me, ' she said. When Rama left to catch the deer, Ravana came to the house dressed in a costume. He caught Sita and took her back to his palace. When Rama returned and saw that Sita wasn't there, he searched but he couldn't find her. He decided to ask Hanuman for help. Hanuman was the great leader of the monkeys. He could fly over mountains, change size and he was very strong. ‘Don't worry. I can find her quickly, ' he said to Rama. On her way to Ravana's palace, Sita carefully dropped her jewellery. As Hanuman flew in the sky, the pieces of jewellery were like little lights showing him the way. Soon he found Sita. She was in the garden of Ravana's palace. Hanuman quickly told Rama where Sita was. He organised a great army of monkeys and bears. Together, they rescued her from Ravana. Rama and Sita were happy again, and finally, after 14 years, they went back to Ayodhya. There were flowers and lanterns in the streets. The people cheered loudly and were very happy to see their real king. In some parts of the world today, people still celebrate Rama going home.
