And today our challenge is to find out about three children and the food they brought, all in 5 minutes! Are you ready? Yes, let's go! Hello! What's your name? I'm Kyle. And how old are you? I'm ten - no, sorry! It was my birthday last week - so I'm eleven now! Happy birthday! Thanks! Who do you live with? Well, I live with my sister, who you can see right now - she's eating some chicken over there. And my parents. And my grandma, who's 95 years old, lives with us too. Shall I tell you about my pets as well? OK. Well, we've got a pet snake called Cucumber. He's long and green you see. Tell me about the food you brought today. Well, I brought Moon cakes. They're a cake that people eat during the mid-Autumn festival while they're looking at the moon! Really. And where are Moon cakes from? Well, they're from China, which is a country in Asia.

Pupil's Book, Unit 2 page 22 Festivals around the world Countries around the world celebrate different festivals every year. This month we are looking at three of those festivals. Holi Festival, London by Emlyn Richardson T celebrates the bondn festival spring. It's a festival of colour and it's mainly celebrated in India and Nepal, but is also celebrated in many other places, like Europe and North America, where a lot of Hindu people live. That includes London, where five percent of the population is Hindu. In India they celebrate it by throwing coloured powder and splashing water over each other. The streets explode with colour. Runners have powder paint thrown over them as they pass by! Hindus believe that the coloured paint makes everyone look the same, so that people forget their differences. In London, The Colour Run celebrates the festival too. It's an unforgettable day! You need a ticket to take part. Go online to find out how to get your ticket. You won't regret it! The Monkey Buffet by Daw Cunningham Thailand, which has a population of sixty-seven million, is one of the 49 countries which make up the continent of Asia. Thailand has more wild monkeys per square mile than nearly any country in the world. Monkeys are one of the greatest tourist attractions in Thailand - so much so that they have their own festival, and it's called The Monkey Buffet. The local people believe that monkeys bring good luck, and they may be right, because The Monkey Buffet attracts thousands of tourists every year! On 25th November people come to the festival from all over the world. They dress up as monkeys, and they bring more than 4, 000 kilos of food and drinks with them . . . for the monkeys! They lay the food out on large tables. Then they wait for the monkeys to come! And they do . . . hundreds of them . . . to enjoy the fruit and desserts, while the visitors take photographs and do monkey dances to celebrate them! It's an extraodinary sight. The Annual Kite Festival by Francisco PÃrez Garcia Ee. . ar in poople celebrate the Kite restival on lst November. Thousands of people from all over Guatemala, as well as visitors from other countries, travel to Sumpango for the festival. The kites are all made by people living in the area. They work all year to have their kites ready for the festival. The kites are very big (sometimes twenty metres in diameter) and very colourful. They are made from tissue paper, and often carry messages asking the people who find them to look after the environment.

Pupil's Book, Unit 2 page 24 2 Listen and read the text. Did you find your ideas? What new facts did you find? What is happening in our oceans? or many years scientists have been worried about our oceans. Oceans do an excellent job of controlling the temperature on Earth, but climate change means that the oceans are taking in the extra heat from the planet. So as the planet gets warmer, so do the oceans. lf the oceans get too warm, many plants and animals that live in them might die. An example of this is the coral reefs. Coral reef ecosystems are important for lots of reasons. They remove and recycle carbon dioxide and they also protect the land from bad weather. Lots of animals like sea turtles, sharks and many kinds of fish live on the reef and without it, many of these plants and animals would die. Corem. he most mpdant hing that algoe ao is make food for the coral and also for many animals living in the coral reef. But, when the water gets too warm (more than 29°C) the algae stop making food and die. This means that the coral loses its colour and turns white. This is called ‘bleaching'. So, we need to look after our coral reefs. Did you know? The Great Barrier Reef, a coral reef which is off the coast of Australia, is the size of about 70 million football fields!
