The mongoose and the rabbit.

Once upon a time there was a venomous and evil snake living close to a fountain. She lived alone, and she used to poison the water for killing the animals which drank there. One day a rabbit arrived to the fountain and drank water. Soon he felt bad, and he sat down on a rock next to the pipe. The snake said:

- Do you feel sick, little rabbit?
- Hi, snake. Yes; certainly I don't feel good. Do you know why?
- Yes. You have drunk the water I poisoned this morning. Sure you'll die in a few minutes; and later I will eat you.

- Oh, no! Don't tell me that!! My poor children are waiting for me in the warren. I have to suckle them, or they will die!!

The snake, seeing that may she could get some delicious baby rabbits, hatched a plan for getting them.

- Well, little rabbit, although you'll die, there's a solution. I can take care of your babies. Why don't you tell me where is your warren? I promise I'll protect them.

The little rabbit answered:

- I do not trust you, snake. But I have no other option. Ok. Listen. My warren is next to the river, in the waterfalls, under a willow. Go there and you'll find my babies. Please, take care of them!!

- You're stupid, little rabbit!! - said the snake - How do you think I was going to protect your babies? They're so tender, so appealing... I think they're going to be a nice dinner. Bye!!

The little rabbit died, but with a smile on her face. Of course that under the willow, next to the river, in the waterfalls, of course there was a warren. But not a rabbit warren. That night, the mongoose ate a succulent green snake which had arrived asking for some baby rabbits.

Ulysses and the Cyclops.

Ulysses was an ancient Greek hero. He was completely human (no god was his father) He wasn't very strong, he couldn't fly, he had no magic... His only weapon was his great intelligence and cunning.

Ulysses was king of Itaca (a Greek island) He was called to participate in Troy's war. He was fighting more than 20 years, far from his house. During all this time he missed his wife Penélope, his son Telémaco and his land very much.

When the war finally ended (Ulysses was the architect of that victory, thanks to the famous trick called "the horse of Troy"), all warriors returned home. But Ulysses couldn't, because a problem he had with Poseidon, the sea god. Poseidon condemned him to travel around Mediterranean sea during 20 more years. Ulysess had lot of adventures: he listened to the sirens, he travelled to the hell, he saw horrifying monsters... The adventure I'm going to tell you is about cyclops Polyphemus.

Trying to arrive at home, Ulysses found a lonely island. Because his foodstuff and water reserves were decreasing, he decided to stop there in order to get some supplies. Ulysses took a big jar of wine with him, as a present for possible island inhabitants.

In that island he found a cave in which there were many sheep. Also cheese, lambs, meat... Ulysses and his men, very pleased about their discovery, started to collect all that stuff.

But suddenly a great one - eyed giant appeared there, closing the cave with a big rock and capturing them inside. He got angry because those small "thiefs" were stealing his cattle. So, Polyphemus (this was the name of the monster, who in addition was son of Poseidon) decided that he would eat them that evening as dinner.

Fortunately, Ulysses had an idea. He offered the wine jar to Polyphemus. The cyclop completely drank it, getting drunk and asleep. Then, the hero held an spear and drove it in the giant's only eye. Polyphemus awoke. Checking he had been blinded, he opened the cave and called his brothers asking for help. Ulysses and his men sneaked out from there, fleeing away from the island.

Hot weather and Sunstroke. All grades.

Very soon we are going to face an ordinary heat wave in Extremadura. It is consequence of climatic change (every year periods of hot weather are longer and more severe because factors like CO2 or Solar activity) What can we do in order to prevent health problems related to hot weather? Here I give you some advices:

1. To drink water. When it's very hot our organism loses a great quantity of water. So, we have to drink more than usual.
2. To use cool clothing (shorts, t - shirts, sandals...)
3. If you are going to stay under the sun, use cap or hat.
4. To use solar block in order to protect your skin.
5. Eat cool meals: salads, gazpacho, fruit and vegetables, etc.
6. Don't practice sports and don't do physical efforts from 11 in the morning to 7,30 in the afternoon. Otherwise, you can suffer a heat stroke.

What to do if somebody suffers a heat stroke?

A heat stroke is when your body, as a consequence of external heat, increases its temperature. It is very dangerous, even mortal. So, the first you have to do is to lower the body temperature. How? Look at the picture:

Gym and crossfit healthy habits. 5th grades.

We all know that sport and physical training have undeniable benefits in our health: to avoid obesity, to prevent circulatory problems, to feel better and  happier... However, when training or playing sports, we have to be careful, because physical activity, bad planned, can be even worse than not physical activity at all. Here we go with some advice:

• To create a WEEKLY PLAN. If we want to improve, we need a training routine. Twice or three times a week it's a good starting point. Then you can progresively add more training days.

• To WARM UP. It is good to do gentle physical exercises and stretches before the main physical activity. Thus, our muscles get ready, avoiding lesions or cramps.

• To COOL DOWN. Once you have finished your training it's necessary to lower the body activity. Good to walk a few minutes and to stretch well.

• To have COMMON SENSE. That is: if we feel pain, we must stop the activity. Otherwise, we will get hurt.

• To EAT WELL. You have to eat before and after training. Two hours before and during the two hours after physical activity.

• To DRINK WATER. When practicing sport our body is consuming a lot of water. So, it's important to drink before, during and after training.

• To SLEEP WELL. While sleeping is when our body recovers and improves. Without a proper time of sleep we will be in risk of lesions, illness and pain.

At the Supermarket. Text. 5th Grade.

Martha is at the grocery store, getting ready for a house party. She has a list of what she needs with her as she goes along. The first section she comes has produce. Martha sees apples, bananas, cherries, grapes, and strawberries. She checks her list:

- 6 apples
- 1 bag of cherries
- 1 bag of grapes
- 2 cartons of strawberries

Martha gets her items and looks the bananas. They are on sale for much cheaper than they are normally. She picks 3 bananas. Next are vegetables. She sees potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, and salad in bags. She checks her list:

- 5 pounds of potatoes
- 6 carrots
- 4 tomatoes
- 2 onions
- 4 mushrooms

As she is putting her items into her cart, Martha checks the many bags of salad and chooses 2 of them. She pushes her cart ahead. The next section is meat and dairy. She sees meat, fish, cheese, eggs, and milk. She checks her list:

- 2 fish (salmon)
- 1 block of cheese (cheddar)
- 1 dozen eggs
- 2 gallons of milk

She looks at the meat that is on sale and chooses a 5-pound roll of hamburger. She gets the rest of the items in that section. She still needs rice, bread, salt, sugar, and flour. She gets:

- 2 bags of rice
- 4 loaves of bread
- a 2-pound bag of sugar
- a 2-pound bag of flour

Martha then realizes that she has forgotten something. She runs back and gets 1 container of salt and then rushes to the checkout. She puts her groceries into her car and leaves.
