Why do dads have a beard ? n°164 p.25

Whybe it is because they are men.

Hmm...
It is true, mums do not have bristly hairs ontheir faces !

What is it  all about ?

Let's go and find outwhy dans have abeard..

1. A beard is hair that grows very fast on a man's chin.

2.All  human beings have hairs on their body.
The ones on our head grow the longest. But women do not grow abeard !

3.Women and men are not the same Men have a lot of tiny messengers in
their blood called testosterone.

4. The testosterone messengers in
 a man's blood tell the hairs on his chin
 to grow faster and thicker...

Women do not have somany testosterone
 messengers. That is why the hair on
 their cheeks is fine and soft.


Now I understand dads and mums are different.
Dads can grow a beard because
there is a lot of testosterone in
 their blood .  Mums do not have very much
 testosterone  so they do not
 grow a beard.

Squid swim by moving their fins.If ther want to escape quickly they blow a jet of water out through a tube near theirmouth.

There are several kinds of giant squid . Scientist think the biggest may be as long as 13 metres.

Long  ago sailors told stories about the mighty kraken, a sea monster that looked like a giant octapus andattacked ships. They had probably seen a giant  squid.

************************************************
 

Giant squid

for a long time,people thout these creatures only existed
in stories told by sailor. But for the last150years, we have known that really do live deep in the ocean.

Where do they live?
At thevbottem of the sea, more than 1000 metres deep

What  do they eat?
Fish and other smaller squid.

How big are they?
They can be longer than a bus.

This giant squid lives deep down below the surface of the sea where it is almost completly dark all the time.

A small fish passes by. The squid shoots out two long tentacles.
There are very powerful suckers  at the end of each tentacle.
The fish cannot escape !

Then the squid grabs the fish with its arms,
Which are also covered suckers.
It pulls its prey towards its beak-like mouth.

Suddenly, a shadow passes over the squid.
Danger! The squid immediately spurts ink into the water to hide itself.
But what creature is hunting so deep down?

It is a sperm whale!
It has just caught another squid but it will be back.
The squid pulls in its arms and swims away at top speed.

How is a house built? n° 160-- p.27

How is ahouse built?


Maybe the walls are built first ?

Maybe the dors are made first and then the roof?

Maybe mums and dads build house...

Let's go and see what the answercould be ...



1 Before a house is built.
an architect makes a drawing of it.
The builders follow this drawing so they  know what they have to do.

2- First workers dig a big hole in the ground with  a digger. Then masons build walls around the edge of the hole. These are the foundations of the house. They make the house strong.

3 - The masons build the  walls higher using bricks ( or stone or wood ).
 They leave openings for doors and windows. Then builders put in the floors and the walls between rooms.

4 - Next, carpenters put wooden beams in place to hold up the  roof .Then roofers lay tiles over the beams.

5 - Next, people start working on the inside of the house.

A plasterer spreads plaster on the walls to make them smooth. Then a painter paints the walls.

An  electrician puts in electrical wiring so the  house has lighting and electricity

A plumber puts in pipes so that water can reach the house. He also installs radiators for heating

A carpenter  puts in doors and window  to keep the house warm and safe.

The outside walls of the house have been painted to protect them againest the weather and  to make the house look nice

An engineer has installed solar panels to turn heat from the sun into electricity.

The builders have put up gutters, a drainpipe and a tank to collect rainwater for watering
the garden.

Now I understand.  To make a house, first the walls are built, then the roof...then  the inside is finished and finally the outside. Lots of people who do different jobs are needed to build a house.


**********************************************************************

beam  =  la poutre

tile  ==( for roof) tuile (for walls,floor) = carreau

to tile == ( roof) couvrir de tuils  (for wall) carreler

Here comes spring

Winter melts beneath the sun,
green chases  brown away
Spring slips slowly through the land
and sings, "I'm here to stay !"


Bud by bud and leaf by leaf
spring brushes plants and trees
Young birds dance across the sky,
grass dance in the breeze.


Butterflies wake  in the sun,
a young bee buzzes by.
A snail slides up a waiting stalk
beneath a cloudless sky.


Coats and hats are  put aside
now that winter's gone.
Spring is here, step out and feel
this early summer sun!

                         What do they see ?  A huge Machine is ripping up trees.
                 It destroys the countryside and lays a long road everywhere it passes.


                     Zouk is not happy, not happy at all!

          Zouk stands in  front of the mean  machine and shouts, "stoooop !"
A door opens at the top and the mayor of the big, big city pops his head out,  He yells, " Move out of the way, you crazy witch, I'mdestroying everything...

"I'm going to make the city bigger. There will be houses and factories instead of these useless trees! Get out of my  way  or I will squash you with my machine! "

Zouk is not at all happy ... and what do little witches do when they are not happy ?
They cast a magic spell.!  ( Il jettent un sort )

Abraacadabra, don't be mean, be a kind machine!


Now the machine plants trees, water flowers, helps animals and even whistles along with the birds. The mayor  also finds out it is better to be kind. He says, "Thanks Zouk !"

How do animals keep themselves clean


Animals get dirtyand tiny creaturescrawl over them.
So theythey needto clean themselves.
Find out how theydo it.

Elephants spend a lot of time each day rolling in mud  and spraying themselves with water to keep cool. then they spray themselves with dust. The dust sticks to their wet skin.
                 It dries to form a crust that protects them from insect bites. Clever !

******************

Zebras take dust baths. They roll around on dry, dusty ground.
                This gets rid of insects in their fur and ...
                     back scratching feels great !

************************************************


                           Monkeys have lice and fleas in their fur.
They help each other to pick thesetiny bitinganimals out usingtheir hands.
              THis is akso how they show each other they are friends.

******************************************************

                                   Wild boars take mud baths.
                                         When the dries,
                               it falls off, taking any dirt with it.

****************************************************


                                          Some birds get help from animals.
               This joy is sitting on on anthill and letting the ants climb all over him.
They go under the  bird's feathers and eat the insects that are crawling around there !

***********************************************

Some fish in the sea clean other fish, like these small cleaner wrasses.
                        They eat tiny creaturesthat stickto other fish.
                                   They even helpto cleansharks.

Why do we have to brush our teeth ? n°172

Why do we have to brush our teeth ?


Is it to stop your teeth falling out  ?


Or maybe so we can make bubbles with toothpaste ?


No, it's to make your mouth smell nice !

Let's go and see what the answer could be !


1   -  When you eat, little bits of food get stuck between your teeth.


2   - We all have bacteria in our mouth. These tiny  germs eat the food that gets stuck.

        What do the bacteria do when they have finished eating ?

3   - When the bacteria have eaten, some of them pee on our teeth.
        The pee is acidic and it can make hols in teeth. These holes are called cavities.

        Are tooth cavities a serious problem ?

4   -If you have a cavity we say you have tooth decay. This can be very painful.

       If you get toothache, you need to go to the dentist.


        So what can we do to stop tooth decay ?


5   - Brushing your teeth helps to stoptooth decay. it is like cleaning your mouth. Your
        toothbrushs your teeth and the  toothpaste is like soap.Brushing your teeth gets rid
        of rid of  any old bits of food stuck there, as well as bacteria.



      Now I understand. Bits of food  get stuck between our teeth we eat. Bacteria eat the
       bits of food and make acid that can cause holes in teeth. Brushing  your teeth get           
       rid of the bits of food. and the bacteria. So no more tooth decay !

The dog and the bone

The dog and the bone


Verse 1

Under a clear blue sky,
On a steep green bank,
A small black dog is gnawing a big white bone.
He wags his tail
And bows his head
And there in the pond, sitting all on his own,
Under a clear blue sky,
On a steep green bank
A small black dog is gnawing a big white bone.



Verse 2

Says the dog on the bank
To the dog in the pond,
"I want your bone as well as my own, so there !"
He jumps right in,
But soon climbs out
"I'm cold and wet and I've lost my bone, and where
Was the clear blue sky
And the steep green bank
And the small black dog gnawing the big white bone ?"




Verse 3

Under a clear blue sky,
On a steep green bank,
A sad wet dog is missing his big  white bone
He droops his tail
And bows his  head
And there in the pond, sitting all on his own,
Under a clear blue sky,
On a steep green bank
Is a sad wet dog is missing his big white bone.
