7.1Directions: which way?

When we walk to school or to the shops, we follow directions.

Five signs: turn right, turn left, go straight, cross the street, stop — Direction words.

Get Smart Plus 3, p. 65.

Direction	What you do
Turn left.	Go to your left side.
Turn right.	Go to your right side.
Go straight.	Walk on, do not turn.
Cross the street.	Walk to the other side of the road.
Stop.	Do not move.

To give directions, start the sentence with the action word: Turn left. Go straight. Cross the street. We do not say "you".

Song: On the street

Get Smart Plus 3, p. 65.

Stay safe! Before you cross the street, look left, look right, then look left again.

A girl gives directions to a boy with a blindfold who walks between chairs — Play: "Go straight. Stop. Now turn right."

Get Smart Plus 3, p. 65.

Using a map

Look at the map. You are at the star. You are facing up the street.

Street map. You are at the bottom. The park is on your left and the pool is on your right. At the crossroads the library is on the left, the cinema on the right and the museum straight ahead — A street map.

Example: giving directions

"How do I go to the library?" "Go straight. At the crossroads, turn left."
"How do I go to the cinema?" "Go straight. At the crossroads, turn right."

On the map, you go straight and do not turn. Where are you?

Uncle Sam has got just one horse, Henry. He has got 10 ducks, 15 cows, 20 goats and 45 sheep. The ducks love tomatoes. He makes cheese with the milk. But the mice love his cheese too! "Shoo! Shoo! Go away!"

One and many (plurals)

Most words just add -s. Some words change in a special way. Learn them!

7.3Places and rules

There are rules wherever we go: at home, in class and in the places we visit.

throw rubbish in the rubbish bin, mobile phone, be quiet, library, museum, swimming pool — New words.

Get Smart Plus 3, p. 68.

Rules, rules, rules! Rule signs for a swimming pool, a cinema, a library and a museum — Rules, rules, rules! Match each sign to a place.

Get Smart Plus 3, p. 68 (Social Studies).

Place	Rules
Cinema	Don't talk. Turn off your mobile phones. Throw rubbish in the rubbish bin.
Library	Read quietly. Don't eat or drink.
Swimming pool	Have a shower before swimming. Don't run.
Museum	Don't touch the paintings. Don't take photos.

How to write a rule

Be quiet. Don't take photos. don't = do not

Get Smart Plus 3, p. 69.

Do it	Do not do it
Be quiet.	Don't talk.
Throw rubbish in the rubbish bin.	Don't eat or drink.
Turn off your mobile phones.	Don't take photos.
Have a shower before swimming.	Don't run.

don't = do not. A rule starts with the action word (Be, Throw, Turn off). Put Don't in front when we must not do it.

Signs: no eating or drinking, throw rubbish in the bin, be quiet, no mobile phones, no photos — What does each sign say?

Get Smart Plus 3, p. 69.

Writing model: our class rules

Be quiet in class.
Throw rubbish in the rubbish bin.
Don't run in the classroom.
Don't eat in class.

Make it a "don't" rule: "You must not eat in the library."

Don't eat in the library.

7.4What's the time?

Clock at a quarter to three and a digital clock showing 11:15, a quarter past eleven

Get Smart Plus 3, p. 70.

The long hand shows the minutes. When it points to 3, it is a quarter past. When it points to 9, it is a quarter to the next hour.

Right half: past. Left half: to.

It's a quarter past three. (3:15)

It's a quarter to three. (2:45)

Long hand points to	We say	Example
12	... o'clock	It's three o'clock. (3:00)
3	a quarter past ...	It's a quarter past three. (3:15)
6	half past ...	It's half past three. (3:30)
9	a quarter to ...	It's a quarter to four. (3:45)

At 3:45 the short hand is almost at 4, so we say a quarter to four, not "a quarter to three".

A boy asks What's the time? A girl says It's a quarter past four.

A boy asks Where are you? A girl says I'm at the cinema.

Get Smart Plus 3, p. 70 (Let's play).

Question	Answer
What's the time?	It's a quarter past four.

7.5Project: street signs

Make your own street signs: an arrow for turn right or turn left, a traffic light with the green light coloured in, and a red STOP sign (an octagon). Tape a ruler to the back.

Children hold a traffic light, a turn-left sign and a STOP sign. A girl says Cross the street. — Look and say: "Cross the street."

Get Smart Plus 3, p. 71.

7.6Story: The secret tunnel

Samantha, Vanessa and Kevin in the attic of Kevin's grandmother's house — 1. The children are in Grandma's attic. "This box is open. Look!"

The story in short

Samantha, Vanessa and Kevin find a map with a tunnel in Grandma's attic. It is a quarter past eight, so they go the next day. They cross the street and go to a tree in the park. The tunnel is very dark. Vanessa is scared of the mice, but her friends help her. When they open the tunnel door, they see... Grandma's garden! Grandma knows about the tunnel. She gives them biscuits.
