FIRST MOON LANDING

The first man to walk on the moon was Neil Armstrong, on 20th July 1969

He went there on a rocket ship called Apollo 11, built by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). It included a command module called Columbia and a lunar lander called the Eagle.As Armstrong first set foot on the moon, he said the famous words "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." He actually intended to say "That's one small step for a man..." but in the excitement got it slightly wrong.Also on board Apollo 11 were Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. Aldrin joined Armstrong on the moon for 21 hours, while Collins stayed on board Columbia to pilot it.Armstrong and Aldrin planted an American flag on the moon.They returned to Earth and splashed down in the Pacific ocean on July 24.There were five more manned lunar landings between 1969 and 1972. A total of 12 men have walked on the moon.In 1971 an astronaut called Alan Shepard played golf on the moon.

THE SOLAR SYSTEM SONG LYRICS

I am the Sun.
I’m a burning ball of fire.
I’m very big indeed.
Life on Earth depends on me.
I am the Sun.

I am Mercury.
I’m the closest planet to the sun.
I’m a ball of iron — I have no moons.
I am Mercury.

I am Venus.
I’m the same size as the Earth
but I spin the other way and much more slowly.
I have no water — I am Venus.

I am the Earth.
The place where we all live.
There is land and lots of sea so I look blue.
I have a moon.
I am the Earth.

I am Mars.
I’m a rocky, red planet.
My mountains are the highest in our solar system.
I have 2 moons.
I am Mars.

I am Jupiter.
I’m a gas giant.
I’m the biggest and I spin the fastest.
I have the biggest moon.
I am Jupiter.

I am Saturn.
I’m a gas giant.
My rings are made of ice.
Titan is my biggest moon.
I am Saturn.

I am Uranus.
I’m an icy gas giant.
I’m the coldest planet in our solar system.
And I have rings made of dust.
I am Uranus.

I am Neptune.
I’m an icy gas giant.
I’m the farthest planet from the sun.
I have many storms.
I am Neptune.

We are The Solar System.
We are The Solar System.

ENGLISH UNIT 4: A WORLD OF JOBS

Dear Parents,

Your child is about to start Unit 4: The main topic of this unit is jobs. In the unit your child will learn how to talk about how often they do things and what they would like to be. He/she will be introduced to this language through episode 4 of the exciting adventure story The Egyptian scroll, a song and a grammar rap: The job song.

In Unit 4 your child will learn about Egyptian history and about the way jobs are different. Your child will complete his/her own ‘My Little Fact File of Work and Jobs’ to reinforce this learning. Your child will also learn about jobs in Britain and say sentences to practise word stress.

In this unit your child will have the opportunity to read and write questions and answers about jobs, what people do and what they would like to do. Your child will also read short texts about people’s jobs and write a short text about their own family and what they would like to do in the future, following a model.

I hope you and your child enjoy the unit!

Mrs. Eva.
