10.1Sing a song: What's the matter?

Six faces showing headache, stomach ache, earache, toothache, sore throat and cough — headache, stomach ache, earache, toothache, sore throat, cough

Get Smart Plus 4, p. 103.

In the song, each child has a pain and a reason. The pattern is: What's the matter? I've got ... Why? Because ...

Pain	Why (in the song)
stomach ache	Because I ate ten pancakes.
earache	Because I swam in a cold lake.
toothache	Because I ate chocolate cake.
headache	I don't know!

The song What's the matter with four pictures of children who have a stomach ache, earache, toothache and headache — The song "What's the matter?"

Get Smart Plus 4, p. 103.

Pattern: What's the matter?

Question	Answer
What's the matter?	I've got a sore throat.
Have you got toothache?	Yes, I have. / No, I haven't. I've got a headache.

We say a headache, a stomach ache, a sore throat, a cough, but no "a" with toothache and earache in the song: "I've got earache."

Value: Remember that your behaviour affects your health.

"Have you got a cough?" Give a short answer for "no".

No, I haven't.

10.2Smart kids: Anna in hospital

A six-picture comic: Anna with a broken leg in hospital, Greg with a fever, Sandy hurt in the park, and the friends in hospital together — Anna broke her leg. Greg and Sandy go to hospital too.

Get Smart Plus 4, p. 104.

The story: Anna broke her leg and is in hospital. Her friends visit and want to stay longer, but the nurse says Anna should sleep. That afternoon Greg does not feel well. He has got a cough and a fever, so he goes to hospital. Sandy hurts her leg when she plays tag and it is bleeding. At the hospital, the doctor says Greg should take some medicine and sleep, and Sandy should clean her cut and change the plaster. Now Anna's friends can stay longer.

Pictures of a cast and a plaster, and the grammar box You should take some medicine. He should clean his cut. — cast, plaster; You **should** take some medicine. He **should** clean his cut.

Get Smart Plus 4, p. 105.

Pattern: should (advice)

Who	Verb	Example
I, you, he, she, it, we, they	should + plain verb	He should sleep. They should go to hospital.

Should is the same for every person. Do not add -s: "She should clean the cut."

After should use the plain verb: "He should take some medicine", not "He should takes" or "He should to take".

Giving advice (p. 105)

"He's got a fever." "It's Brad. He should take some medicine and sleep."

Other advice in the book: eat a light dinner; drink lots of water and hot tea.

Value: Look after your friends.

Sandy hurt her leg and it is bleeding. What should she do?

Show answerHide answer

She should clean the cut and change the plaster.

10.3Our world: Safety at home

Pictures of a socket, matches, a burn on a hand, and a hob and oven — socket, matches, burn, hob, oven

Get Smart Plus 4, p. 106.

A poster Safety at home with photos of children jumping on a bed, running on stairs, playing with matches, knives and sockets — Safety at home: easy rules (Social Studies).

Get Smart Plus 4, p. 106.

We use shouldn't (should not) for things that are not safe.

Rule	Why it is not safe
You shouldn't play with knives.	You can cut yourself.
You shouldn't touch cleaning products.	They can hurt you.
You shouldn't play with matches.	You can burn yourself.
You shouldn't touch the oven when it's hot.	You can get a burn.
You shouldn't run up and down the stairs.	You can fall.
You shouldn't jump on your bed.	You can fall.
You shouldn't play with sockets.	It is dangerous.

The book gives the rules; the "why" column is to help you remember them.

Value: Always follow safety rules at home.

Write a safety rule about the oven.

Show answerHide answer

You shouldn't touch the oven when it's hot.

10.4Let's play: Should I...?

Question	Yes	No
Should I / you / he / she / we / they eat more sweets?	Yes, he should.	No, he shouldn't.

Words in the board game: sunburn, jellyfish, sunscreen. Examples: "There are jellyfish in the sea. Should you swim?" "No, I shouldn't." "You are going to get sunburn. Go back and get sunscreen."

Get Smart Plus 4, p. 108.

In a question, should comes first: "Should she eat more sweets?", not "She should eat more sweets?"

"Should Sam eat before swimming?" Yes or no? Use the book's safety rules (Revision, p. 114).

Show answerHide answer

The book's revision says "You shouldn't eat before you swim", so: No, he shouldn't.

10.5Project: Beach safety poster

Draw a beach on white card. Think about what people should and shouldn't do. Write sentences, colour your drawings and write the title "Beach Safety". Then show and tell.

Show and tell (p. 109)

You should wear sunscreen at the beach. You shouldn't play with matches.

Start each sentence with a capital letter and end with a full stop. Give each rule its own line on the poster.

Write one more sentence for the beach poster.

Show answerHide answer

For example: You shouldn't swim where there are jellyfish.

10.6Reading time: What are germs?

Get Smart Plus 4, p. 110.

germs: tiny living things that live in you, on you and around you. You can see them only through a microscope.

Some germs can make you ill, so doctors work hard to learn more about them.
Germs like warm, wet and dark places.
They get in through your eyes, mouth and nose, and when you cut yourself.
To stop germs: do not touch your eyes, mouth or nose with your hands. Germs hate soap and water, so always wash your hands before you eat.

Activity: Glitter is like germs. Put hand cream and glitter on your hands. Paper towels do not clean them well, and water alone is not enough. Washing with soap and water cleans them best.

Why should you wash your hands before you eat?

Show answerHide answer

Germs hate soap and water, so washing stops germs getting into your body.

10.7Let's read: Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves

Get Smart Plus 4, pp. 112–113.

The story: Long ago in Persia, Ali Baba was a poor man who cut and sold wood. His brother Cassim was rich but always wanted more money. In the forest Ali Baba saw forty thieves at a cave with a large rock door. Their leader said "Open Sesame" and the door opened. When the thieves left, Ali Baba went in, took two small bags of treasure and went home. Cassim went to the cave and filled his bags, but he forgot the words to open the door. The thieves found him there.

Ali Baba	Cassim
poor, took only two small bags	rich, but greedy and wanted more
got home safely	forgot the words and was caught

Value: Don't be greedy.
