Pupil's Book, Unit 7 page 84 1 Listen. Where did the boy fall asleep? Hey Brian - What's in that bag? My sports clothes! I've just been to the sports centre with my Mum. Really? Yes, we started going three weeks ago. My mum said she was feeling worried because we're moving house and my grandma's ill . . . so she wanted a way to reduce stress. We go to the sports centre together to relax and keep fit. But isn't it boring? No! This sport centre's so fun that I'd like to go every day. You can do exercise there, like running or swimming. But . . . well . . . . it's different to other sports centres too . . . When you do exercise it's like being in a video game, or a film. Why? Umm . . . well . . . when we go jogging we wear special glasses. It feels like we're running away from a monster! Or we're jogging over a rainbow . . . No way! Yeah! It's so fun that my mum and I always laugh a lot. Amazing! And while my mum goes to the gym to lift weights, there's a big swimming pool where I go to swim with sharks. That sounds dangerous! No it's not! The swimming pool is built above the sharks' pool, so you're not in the same water. But it's so exciting that I can swim for ages without feeling tired. That sounds fun! It is! And after we exercise, there are lovely places to sit and recover. What are they like? Well, there's a little pool that we go to when we've got tired, aching legs. It looks like a space ship! Also, there's a garden on the roof. It's such a relaxing place that I once fell asleep there! It's great - you can just sit, breathe deeply and listen to the river. . . . What?! There's a river on the roof, too? Haha! Just a small one. Awesome! There's a café on the roof too - but I haven't been. Do you think it's nice? I don't know . . . they've only got healthy food. They say a good diet is important, so they haven't got cake or ice cream. Wow! Maybe my mum and I should go to the sports centre too? My mum always says she wants to look after her health better . . . 2 Listen again and point to pictures 1-6. Hey Brian - What's in that bag? My sports clothes!

Pupil's Book, Unit 7 page 86 The cowboy who cried wolf Life on the ranch was quiet. Everyone worked hard to grow plants and look after the animals, and they fell asleep straight away when night came. But one night, a noise woke them all up. AHR- WOOOOO! They knew that noise! It was a wolf, and there were a lot of calves on the ranch. Somebody would need to make sure that no wolves got into the fields. Buck was the youngest cowboy on the ranch and he was always looking for excitement. Early the next morning Cody, one of the older cowboys, said to Buck, ‘You have to stay here today and look after the calves. There are wolves about! If you see one you should shout, “ Wolf! ” The people on the ranch will come and help you. ' Buck was annoyed. He wanted to ride with the others! But he had to do what Cody said. So, the cowboys rode off to the west and Buck stayed in the field to look after the calves. Buck was so bored! He had no one to talk to, and no wolves came. Buck stared so hard that his eyes hurt. Hours passed and Buck was miserable. Finally, he had an idea. ‘The ranch workers will come and talk to me if a wolf comes, ' he thought. He jumped up and shouted, ‘Wolf! ’ At once men came running from the ranch. His little sister, Blossom, came too. ‘Where's the wolf?’ shouted the men. ‘It was over there, ' said Buck. ‘But it went away when I shouted. ’ The men waited for a few minutes, but when they didn't see a wolf, they went back to their work. Did you really see a wolf?’Blossom asked Buck. ‘Of course, I did, ' he said. Blossom gave him a strange look. Buck felt embarrassed, but Blossom didn't say anything. The next day Buck wanted to go with the other cowboys, but Cody was worried about wolves. ‘You must stay and look after the calves again, he said. So, Buck stayed! Day after day, it was the same thing, looking at a dull field of cows. By the fourth day, he was so bored and lonely that he shouted, ‘Wolf! ’ again. Once more the men from the ranch ran to help him. They were amazed when they didn't see a wolf attacking the calves. ‘Where's the wolf?’they called to Buck. ‘It was over there, ’ said Buck. ‘But it ran away when I shouted. ’ ‘Are you sure you saw a wolf?’ asked a man called Jeb. ‘I definitely saw one! ’ said Buck. ‘That's why I shouted. ’ The men from the ranch went away again, complaining. Blossom was furious with her brother. ‘There was NO wolf, ’ she said to Buck. ‘You mustn't shout “ wolf” again. Everybody is very annoyed with you! ’ The next day Buck suddenly heard AHR-WOOOOOO! He jumped up. It wasn't one wolf! It was 3 . . . 4 . . . 5 . . . a pack of wolves! ‘Wolves! Wolves! Wolves! ’screamed Buck. But nobody came. They didn't believe him anymore! Buck ran at the wolves, shouting. But it was too late. All the calves were dead and Buck knew he would be in BIG trouble . . .

Pupil's Book, Unit 7 page 88 2 Listen and read the text. Why is it good to understand how other people feel? Emotional awareness We can feel different things on different days. Sometimes we feel miserable because we had an argument with a friend and sometimes we feel worried about something. It's important to understand our feelings and learn how to show them so that we don't make our friends, our family and ourselves sad. Babies and children show their emotions by laughing or crying because they can't say what they feel and why. As we grow up, we learn how to understand how we are feeling. This is called emotional awareness. It also helps us have good relationships with other people. When we feel strong emotions or we are stressed there are chemicals in our brains that can make us feel happy, annoyed or sad. This chemical is called cortisol. lt can be good for us because it gives us energy. However, if we feel too stressed then we have too much cortisol in our brains and it's difficult to sleep. When you see your friends, you might be able to work out what they are feeling by their faces. How do you think these people feel? It's good to think about how other people are feeling too. For example, if your friend is sad that he didn't get onto the football team and you are sad with him, you are sharing his sadness - this is called empathy. Have you ever seen that your dad is annoyed when he has to tidy your things? If you think about how your dad feels and understand that he's doing extra work and why he might feel annoyed . . . that's also empathy. Empathy and emotional awareness are important for all relationships - at home, at school and at work when we are older. lt helps you to understand more about the people and the world around you.

Hi Yuri, what's the matter? You don't look very well. Have you got a cold? Hi Sophie, I'm very tired actually. I'm not sleeping enough at the moment. Oh! Why not? Are you worried about your science test? Yes, it's tomorrow. I had a maths test yesterday and history today. If I don't sleep well I won't get a good mark . . . 6 Listen to the conversation. Answer the questions from Activity 5. Hi Yuri, what's the matter? You don't look very well. Have you got a cold? Hi Sophie, I'm very tired actually. I'm not sleeping enough at the moment. Oh! Why not? Are you worried about your science test? Yes, it's tomorrow. I had a Maths test yesterday and History today. If I don't sleep well, I won't get a good mark. I read an article that said on average 47 per cent of primary school children around the world need more sleep! That's a lot. But Yuri, are you eating the right kind of food to help you concentrate too? Oh yes, don't worry, eating healthy food and getting the right kind of exercise is not a problem for me. In fact, playing football is a great way to stop me feeling worried. Well, maybe you shouldn't use your mobile phone or tablet late at night. Really? Why's that? Because it sends too much light to your eyes and that sends a message to your brain to stay awake! Oh, I see. I'll stop messaging my friends late at night then. Great! I think good sleep helps your memory too so I'm sure you'll be fine in the end for that test. Thanks, Sophie. You've given me some really good advice. I feel better already!
