Activity 5: Protection from the Sun Focus: Sunlight – include protection from the Sun
LB p. 7 Time: 30 minutes
1. Discuss what we can do to protect ourselves from the Sun. The learners can then look at the picture on Learner’s Book page 7 and make suggestions for what the family should do to protect themselves from the Sun, for example use the umbrella, put on hats.
2. Allow the learners to work in pairs to design and make a Sun protection hat out of newspaper.
Activity 6: An air experiment Focus: Air – clean air
LB p. 8; WB p. 5 Time: 1 hour
1. Discuss with the learners what they think is in the air we breathe in. Explain to the learners that we need fresh air to give our bodies energy. We breathe out stale air. Look at the illustration on Learner’s Book page 8. The stars indicate stale air breathed out; the bubbles indicate fresh, clean air. The experiment shows that the air that we breathe out is different from the air we breathe in.
2. Prepare enough red cabbage juice so that each group has two cups half fi lled with juice. Each group also needs two straws. Explain the steps before you begin:
» Step 1: Stir the juice in the first cup, to expose it to the air that is all around us, that we breathe in.
» Step 2: Gently blow air through the straw into the second cup to expose this juice to the air we breathe out.
» Step 3: Look carefully at the cabbage juice in the two cups and make a note of the differences.
3. Let each group conduct the experiment. Ask the learners to describe what they see. Ask them what they think has happened to the cabbage juice with the stale air in it. Allow all answers, then summarise and say that the air we breathe out is not good for people because it is stale. Our bodies need fresh air to live. Trees breathe in our stale air at night and breathe out fresh air.
4. Once they have cleaned up, the learners can complete Workbook page 5. This can be used for formal assessment.

Focus: Create in 2D: Paint pictures of self with others in action and talk about primary and secondary colours, cool and warm colours, shape and line
Resources Time: 1 hour
1. Look at the picture on Learner’s Book page 6. Discuss the difference between healthy food and junk food.
2. Hand out mirrors and apples to your learners. Ask your learners to take a bite of their apple while looking at themselves in the mirror. Ask them to notice how the apple is in front of their face (overlapping) and what their fi ngers look like holding the apple, as well as how their arm has to bend.
3. Ask your learners to draw themselves from the waist up. Remind learners to add all the details of their faces, leaving out the bits that are hidden by the apple.
4. When the line drawing is complete, hand out poster paints in red, yellow and blue. The learners add colour to their pictures. Help them to mix the secondary colours (green, purple and orange) using the poster paints.
5. Learners can then complete Workbook page 6 with coloured pencils or thick poster paints (make sure the paint is dry before closing the books).
