Notes to Parents

1. Dear parents,

Diana hasn't eaten her packed lunch for a couple of days because it is fine, she can't eat it all. You should pack a smaller lunch.

2. Dear parents,

Reminder: I'm writing to remember that the kids have to bring tambourines next week. Thank you.

I would like you to participate in the audition.

1. Dear Mr and Mrs Cloud,
   I'm writing to inform you that Peter's behaviour has changed and we are a little bit worried, so we would like to meet you as soon as possible to talk about it. Mr Sanz.
2. Dear parents,
   I would like to inform you about a change in the timetable next week. The vegetable activity will be on Friday instead of Tuesday.
3. Dear parents,

This morning Paul and William had a fight. We would like you to talk with them and try to explain to them why it is bad to fight.

Dear Carla,

Reminder: I'm writing to remember that you have a meeting with the teacher on Monday at 5 pm.

3) First-Aid Kit (page 57, exercise 4)

1. Have you got a first-aid kit at home?

→ Yes, I have one in the bathroom.

2. Which items do you keep in the kit?

→ Bandages, gauze, medical tape, tweezers, gauze, drops, band-aids and disposable sterile gloves.

3. Is there a first-aid kit in your class or in the school?

→ I'm not sure, but it's supposed to be at least one in the school. In our class there aren't any made by us. They are not.

Is there one?

Yes.

4. In case of emergency in class, what procedures do teachers follow?

→ I'm not sure about it, but I think that the teacher should go on the kind of a student to go and get the first-aid kit and, depending on whether it is a minor or a major treatment, call 112 and cure the person that got injured and control the wound with water, as they were doing.

5. Have you ever been in an emergency? What happened? How did you react?

→ Yes, but I didn't do anything because it was little. A man fell down.

4) An Emergency

Teacher: Elena   Student: Marta

Teacher: What's the matter, Marta? You don't look well.
Marta: I feel sick, and I'm a little dizzy.

Teacher: What other symptoms do you have?
Marta: I have nausea too.

Teacher: OK, come with me to the bathroom, and I will take your temperature.

Teacher: Let's see... you have 37.5° of fever.
Marta: Ah, that is why I have a headache, and my tummy hurts a little.

Teacher: OK, so you have a stomachache, besides you feel sick and dizzy.
Marta: Teacher, are you going to call my mom?

Teacher: Yes, I'm going to call your mom, and we are going to see if she can pick you up. Marta, your mom can't pick you up, so you are going to stay with me the rest of the day.

Marta: OK, can you give me some medicine?

Teacher: Of course, let me see if I have your permission note.

Marta: Thanks, teacher. Now I'm going to feel better.
Teacher: That's nothing, sweetheart.

5. Song

→ We do this activity for children between 3 and 4 years old.

Both: Hello, guys!
Marta: How are you today?
Class: Good.
Marta: Great! I'm good too.

Elena: Marta, are you excited for the lesson we are going to do today?
Marta: Yes, and you?
Elena: Yeah, I'm really excited because we are going to learn a new song!

Marta: Do you want to learn it?
Class: Yes.
Elena: It is about Five Little Monkeys...
Marta: Do you like them?
Class: Yes.

Elena: We are going to practice counting to five... one, two, three, four, five.

Marta: Now we are going to jump, let's do the five jumps. Let's see...
Elena: Okay... So we are all monkeys jumping on the bed.
Marta: And, if we fall down, what happens?
Elena: We bumped our head and Mama or Papa call the doctor, and he says: "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

Marta: Let's practice!

Elena: You did great! The doctor is tired of Mama and Papa calling, so he says: "Put these monkeys straight to bed!"
