FIRST! Talk about the photos. Me and My School All over the world children go to school to learn. Meet four young pupils. What can they tell you about their school? Hi, Madison here! I live on a farm outside Jacksonville, Florida, in the USA. I live with my mother, my father and my baby brother. My granddad lives with us, too. I am in 5th grade. Every morning I take the school bus to school. It takes about twenty minutes. School starts at 08:55 and finishes at 15:30. At 12 I have lunch in the school canteen. My favourite lunch is chicken and salad. We don’t wear school uniforms. I can wear what I want. My favourite subject is English. I think I want to be a journalist when I grow up. 6 / s i x starts byrjar finishes endar subject fag grow up verða fullorðinn 5th grade 5. bekkur canteen mötuneyti Did you know? More than 26 million children in the USA go to school by bus every day. All children who do not live near their school are entitled to a free bus ride to school and back home. The school buses are famous for their yellow colour. It is the colour that people see faster than any other colour. This makes the school bus a safe transportation.
Hello! My name is Harry, and I am from Bristol in England. My school is very old. It is over two hundred and sixty years old. My school is a boarding school. I live here. I sleep here and eat all my meals here. At school I have lots of friends. When I first started, I missed my family, but now I am very happy. I go home and visit my mum and stepdad one weekend a month and in the holidays. At my school we have to wear a school uniform. I wear a blue shirt, blue trousers and a blue blazer. The girls wear almost the same. They wear a blue shirt and a blue skirt with their blazer. Only the boys wear a tie, though. My favourite subject is maths. I want to be a dentist when I grow up. seven / 7 stepdad stjúppabbi have to þarf boarding school heimavistarskóli meals máltíðir missed saknaði almost næstum því blazer jakki tie bindi dentist tannlæknir Think and talk What can you tell Harry about your school and your school day?

Also remember that they say 5th grade in the US but year 5 in the UK. In Australia and New Zealand, they use both grade and year. FIRST! Who do you live with? G’Day! My name is Tom and I am from Sydney in Australia. I live with my mum and my two sisters. My school has over 800 pupils and it is just for boys. We all wear school uniforms. We wear white shirts, black trousers, a blazer and a tie. Mum says I look nice in my school uniform. I think it is OK, but I hate the hat we have to wear! What do you think? My favourite subject is PE. I play rugby or tennis every day after school. I want to be a professional rugby player when I grow up.

Hello! My name is Jessica and I live in Wellington in New Zealand. I live with my parents and my twin brother Jordan. My brother and I are in the same class at school. There are 29 pupils in our class. School starts at 09:00 in the morning and finishes at 15:45. We have a lunch break at noon. There is a tuck shop at school where we can buy food, but most pupils bring their own lunch. For lunch I have sandwiches, an apple and an orange juice. Most pupils in New Zealand wear school uniforms. At our school we all wear white T-shirts and a red sweater or cardigan. The boys wear dark shorts or trousers. The girls wear dark skirts or trousers. I think school uniforms are a good idea. That way no one is teased or bullied for what they wear. My favourite subjects are music and art. I love drawing and singing. I want to be a designer or a pop star when I grow up. You see, I want to be famous one day! Verkefni 4-6

How long does it take you to get to school? My School Day Zaheer is a pupil at Green Meadows Secondary School. He lives just round the corner, so he walks to school every day. It only takes him about five minutes to get there. My best mate Rob and I usually meet at school at around 08:50. That way, we have about ten minutes to chat or play together before school starts. School begins at 9 o’clock. We all go straight to our classroom and start with registration. When the teacher calls my name, I have to say Yes, Ms Jones. On Mondays and Thursdays we all go to assembly in the main hall at 09:10. We sit on the floor and sing songs, listen to music or hear a story. I like singing best. After the short assembly we go back to our classroom. Our first lesson finishes at 10:30. Then we have a 15-minute break. I usually eat some fruit or a biscuit in the playground. We play football or games like tag. The second lesson starts at 10:45 and we work until 12:15, when we have lunch. At my school, you can buy a hot meal for lunch or you can bring a packed lunch. Some children at my school get a free school lunch because their parents do not have much money. I think that is a good thing. I bring my own packed lunch from home. I usually have two ham and cheese sandwiches, fruit, a drink and sometimes a packet of crisps. Some of my friends have crisps every day, but my mum says I am not allowed. After lunch, Rob and I go out to play games. Our lunch break finishes at 13:15. My favourite subjects are ICT and science. School finishes at 15:30 and I go home, except on Thursdays when I stay at school for computer club. Think and talk When does your school day start and finish? It starts at … It finishes at ...

12 / twe l ve Dermot Milligan is eleven years old, overweight and loves donuts. He is about to start secondary school and is quite nervous about it. In the evening I tried on my school uniform for the first time. My dad’s favourite word is ‘fiasco’, and this was definitely a fiasco. And I know, by the way, that it was dumb trying on my uniform only a few days before school started, but then that’s my family all over. overweight of þungur quite frekar definitely algjörlega too busy of upptekin/n size stærð expected átti von á shaved rakaður uncomfortable óþægileg/ur undoing the button hneppa frá plum plóma stapler heftari THE D NUT DIARIES of Dermot Milligan trousers shirt tie blazer shoes FIRST!

th i r teen / 13 Think and talk Have you ever had to wear clothes you didn’t like? This is the funniest book I have ever read, I can't wait until the next book in the series. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a little laugh. The Guardian I thoroughly enjoyed this book so much so that I finished reading it within a day! www.goodreads.com nnnnn I really liked this book, and I was determined to read it in two days ... I could have probably read it in one day, if I didn’t start reading it so late ... My mum was too busy to take me shopping with her, so she had got it all off the Internet. Nothing was the right size. The shirt I kind of expected. For it to be big enough to fit round my neck meant that the arms hung down almost to the floor. I looked like a shaved orangutan. The trousers were too tight. Not way too tight, which would have been better, because then my mum would have sent them back. No, the trousers were just tight enough to make them uncomfortable, to make me think that undoing the button and allowing my belt alone to keep them up might be a good idea. The blazer – yep, it was that kind of school – sort of fitted, but the problem was that it was PURPLE. You heard me right, PURPLE. I’ll say it again. PURPLE. What were they thinking of when they decided to make the blazer purple? I looked like a giant plum. The new school shoes Mum had got me fitted OK, but they were black and shiny and looked like the kind of loser-shoes the absolute lowest low-down guy in a boring office might wear. The guy who makes the tea for the guy who refills the office stapler. I’ve seen newly-laid dog poo with more style than those shoes. I’d have been better off tying two biscuit tins to my feet and going off clanking down the road.

POLICEWOMAN: Where do you live? Do any of you live near the school? MARTIN: Yes, I do. I live just down the road. You can see my house behind those trees over there. POLICEWOMAN: Good. I think you can help us. POLICEWOMAN: What did you hear last night? Any strange sounds? MARTIN: No, it was really quiet. I didn’t hear any cars or motorbikes. You see, our dog barks if cars drive past at night. POLICEWOMAN: Okay. Well, we must just keep looking for more clues.

If you win, you can earn a ton of cash. Ava Acting is the best I would like to be an actor. I don’t tell people about it, though. It’s a bit embarrassing because most of the people at school who want to be actors are girls. But I’ve started to act in school plays, and musicals and the school Christmas show. I would like to keep doing theatre and musicals, but what I would most like to do is to act in films in Hollywood. Maybe it is less glamorous than it looks. In fact, I think it is very hard work.

Think and talk What do you do when you travel by bus or train? 26 / twenty- s i x Animals on the Underground When James Robinson goes to visit his grandparents at the other end of London, he goes by the London Underground. It is the oldest underground system in the world. There are 270 stations. Over 1.35 billion passengers use the underground, or the Tube, as it is called, every year. James is never bored when he travels by train. He looks at the Tube map, just like another passenger once did. This is the amazing story of what Paul Middlewick discovered on the Underground. One day Paul Middlewick was on his way home from work. He lived in London and travelled home by tube every day. After a long day at work, he was very tired and very bored. Paul had nothing to do, so he just stared at the tube map. He started to follow the lines. Suddenly funny shapes popped up. He saw an animal hidden in the map! Paul could not believe his eyes. bored leiðist discovered uppgötvaði travelled by ferðaðist með at work í vinnunni suddenly skyndilega funny shapes sniðug form popped up birtist trunk rani spotted tók eftir rhino nashyrningur still ennþá daily daglega bottle flaska
twenty- seven / 27 The animal that first popped up was an elephant. Paul saw the elephant’s trunk and even its tail. From that day on, Paul’s trip on the tube became much more interesting. Every day he stared at the map and looked for new animals. Soon he spotted an emu, a penguin and even a rhino. Paul still lives in London and travels by tube daily. He has now found over thirty different animals on the map. Every day he stares at the map and looks for more. He has seen other things in the map, too. He has seen a bottle and a building. But the elephant he found first is his favourite. James also thinks it’s great fun to spot animals on the tube map. He has found a fish. It took a long time for him to find it, but one day he found a fish made up of the tube lines and stations. Did you know? The world’s first underground railway was The London Underground also known as The Tube. The first line opened in 1863. There are now 11 lines and up to five million passengers every day. There are 270 Tube stations. Some of the famous ones are Waterloo, London Bridge and Paddington. Verkefni 13-14
28 / twenty-e ight Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons and Dragons, or D&D as many like to call it, is a table top role-playing game that takes place in a fantasy world. D&D is about storytelling. You meet up with a group of friends to tell a story together by playing the game. You guide your heroes through quests, battles and rescues creating the story along the way. One player takes the role of the dungeon master, and leads the players, and the characters they create, through the adventure. The dungeon master also plays every other character in the world, villains and friends alike. The dungeon master also interprets the rules when they get complicated. • 3 rulebooks: • Dungeon Master's Guide • Player's Handbook • Monster Manual. • 6 special dice from d4, with four sides, to the most important one, d20, with 20 sides. • Pawn or an icon to represent your character.

What he likes, what he fears and so on.
