The unit opens with a vibrant double page colour illustration featuring the course characters, which introduces the key vocabulary and concepts of the unit. A song, an activity and motivating questions are also included on this double page.
Natural Science 2
■■
Levels 1 & 2
On page three a story featuring the course characters introduces students to the key vocabulary of the unit followed by an activity designed to reflect the question types found in external exams.
Social Science 2
Levels 3 & 4
In level 3 the unit opens with a double page colour illustration showing the course characters and their friends on a school trip, while Level 4 mixes vibrant colour photography with illustration. The continued use of songs and the addition of motivating texts and questions serves as a fun, accessible introduction to the content of the unit.
■■
Levels 3 & 4
On page three the story tells of an adventure the children have had on their school trip (using the key vocabulary as luck would have it!) while their school trip project on page four introduces students to project work and different ways of presenting their knowledge.

Throughout levels 3 to 6 extra boxes aid motivation in different ways:
Levels 1 & 2
Did you know? Bite-size chunks of extra-curricular information.
Content is presented on accessible single-lesson pages mixing age-appropriate illustration, photographs and extensive audio activities. The course characters appear throughout to help bring the content to life.

These either add depth to the content presented on the page or simply provide students with fun facts to broaden their knowledge and dazzle their parents!
Natural Science 4
Levels 3 & 4
The content opens up to visually attractive double page spreads with a mixture of scientific and more cartoonstyle illustration. Activity types are graded from simple reading comprehension questions to more challenging higher order thinking skills.
Link it up. Prompts to help students think laterally and make connections between the content blocks.

Components • Student’s Book. • Teacher’s Book with Audio CD. • Flashcard Packs (Levels 1 & 2).
'The elements of art - lines, shapes, colours, textures, forms and space - are the building blocks an artist uses to create a work of art. They are also the building blocks we used when developing this course. Let them inspire in your students an understanding and love of art.' Jane Martin, author of ByME Arts & Crafts.
Each unit starts with an authentic artwork (12 per level), selected to represent a wide variety of styles, genres and periods and appeal to Primary students. Each artwork introduces specific art concepts and techniques, while reading texts and listening activities give students the necessary information and vocabulary to talk about the artwork. Through the 6 levels, students are introduced to a huge range of different artworks giving them a thorough grounding in the history of Art.
