Hi, dear friend, Welcome to 3rd grade where you’ll have wonderful new learning experiences in your native tongue and in English, too! We invite you to discover, think, do and create in English as you work individually, in pairs, in small teams or with all your classmates in situations where you will exchange personal information, ask and understand what others want and need; talk about expectations you all have; learn how to ask for clarification when not understanding something and the best part of all, is seeing your own progress at learning and using English and helping others in their learning process, too! During this school year, you will also read and enjoy different fictional texts where your imagination can take you to invent new situations and create stories to share and enjoy with others. You will also read informative texts about other places and cultures to learn and even compare experiences, traditions, legends and many other interesting facts especially in countries where English is the official language. So prepare yourself to discover, think, do and create in English as you go along Beats! 3 enjoying learning, working and sharing in and out of the classroom what you can do in, and with English,at your own rhythm and beat!

Lots of luck and fun! The Author

Meet your book VV

This section appears at the beginning of a lesson offering interesting and fun questions on different topics to awake your curiosity and activate previous knowledge.

This section for you to integrate what you already know with new concepts as you work on meaningful activities where language aspects and communication come together.

Each unit includes three "CREATE" sessions where you’ll work on building the unit’s product step-by step developing and using your creative and social skills as you learn and work in a collaborative way with others.

VAssesment V is different to testing;

therefore, what you’ll find on this page is a specific evaluation that agrees with the contents and achievements in the unit. Nothing to fear but an opportunity to see your own progress and work a little more on whatever you may need to improve.

VV You will also share with a partner a coevaluation where both of you can exchange points of view, needs and wants and see your progress as you provide each other with feedback to overcome possible mistakes and become better users of English.

VReading V time, is the section

that invites you to look at specific pages in your Reader’s book and enjoy a fact or a story that agrees with the topic and contents of the unit you are working at that moment.

VV A Picture dictionary included at the end of your book to help understanding vocabulary and expressions in an easier way. Each page also offers you two blank spaces for you to build your own pictionary. VV An End-of School Year diploma is also found at the end of your book for you to share and show everyone how well you understand and communicate in English and the diploma you got for finishing the course with a beating progress!

VV You will find different links to interesting Web pages throughout your book that offer you extra fun activities to keep on learning in an enjoyable way.

VV A correlated section to the Reader’s book where you’ll find a simple but engaging question for you and your classmates to exchange ideas and thoughts about what you read and how useful the information can be to you and others. A suggested, extra product for you to choose the one you prefer to do or even, do both: the one in the unit and this one. They are both, great evidences of your progress at learning English.

The Reader’s Book is a collection of fiction and non-fiction texts for you to enjoy and improve your vocabulary, reading and listening skills. Each story and non fiction text, has been carefully chosen for them to correlate with the units in the Activity book. The stories and non fiction texts are beautifully illustrated and offer a glossary which makes reading more interesting and fun!

VV Glossary Each reading includes glossary boxes with key words that will help you understand the lesson. Each word included in the glossary box can be identified on the same page where the box is. The key word is presented in bold for easy identification. The glossary box shows the meaning according to the context where the word is presented in the lesson.

This material will help you understand English in a better and easier way when listening and / or speaking with others, because the listening activities included in the audio CD provide pronunciation models to practice pronunciation, intonation and stress in the language in a fun way. The scripts for each audio track have been included in your teacher’s book, the Teacher’s Guide. The CD also includes a set of fixed images that your teacher can share with you and your classmates to make your learning more meaningful and enjoyable.

They went to see the Genie of the Desert. “What’s the matter?” he asked. “The camel won’t work!” said the ox. “He just sits on the sand,” said the

horse. “He just says ‘Humph,’” said the dog. So, the Genie of the Desert gave the camel a hump! “This is your hump!” he said. “Humph!” said the camel. “No!

notebooks or on a card. Don´t put it on the poster. 2. Display your poster. With your group go around reading other groups’ questions and trying to answer them by looking at the illustrations. 3. When your group thinks they have answered all the questions on a poster, find the group that created the poster and have them check your answers with their answer key. 4. Finally, discuss with all your class the importance of experiments and how they can do good or harm our lives. *Remember that experimenting also includes: predicting results, registering information, sequencing and ordering steps and results to follow instructions and a process. You can also inform of what you are doing making posters or signs, such as warning signs and work in teams to conclude on results which can sometimes, give a message of how good or bad the experiment can be. And the most important thing is to question every step in the experiment. So you can always consult previous units to refresh what you have learned and use this knowledge to communicate better in English.

It was the 24th of December: the night before Christmas. Peter and his sister Wendy were very excited. They were writing letters to Father Christmas. Peter wanted Father Christmas to bring him a new watch, some story books, and a desk for his bedroom. Wendy wanted Father Christmas to bring her a princess dress, a tablet and a new lamp for her room. The two children finished their letters and put them into envelopes. They addressed them to Father Christmas, The North Pole. ‘Hurry children!’ said their mother. ‘Father Christmas will be collecting the letters soon!’ The three of them walked to the post box on the corner and posted the letters. Wendy was worried. ‘Will they get to the North Pole in time?’ ‘Of course,’ said her mother. Then they heard a sound. Ting-a-ling-a-ling! ‘Listen. That’s Father Christmas now! He’s coming to get your letters! We mustn’t see him, so let’s run home before he gets here. And you need to have supper now because you must go to bed early. It’s Christmas Day tomorrow and there will be a lot of presents to open!’

The secret to reading aloud, is to make the story interesting. Read the story to yourself f irst, so that you can read f luently. Then read aloud.

With a little imagination, you can make great musical instruments from trash. For example, get an empty plastic bottle and don’t throw away the top! Fill half of the bottle with stones or beans. Put on the top and shake it. Plastic bottles with stones in them make great maracas! Another idea comes from the kitchen and you don’t have to cook! Just hold two spoons with one finger between them and hit the spoons against your knee rhythmically. They sound great! What about pots and pans? They make perfect drums!

Cymbals are percussion instruments. They are discs made from copper or bronze. They have straps. The player holds one cymbal in each hand by the straps. The player bangs the cymbals together to make music. When you rub the cymbals together it makes a quiet sound. When you open your arms wide, and hit the cymbals together it makes a loud sound. You can make the cymbals make a vibrating sound by hitting them hard and them holding them apart for a long time. The word ‘cymbal comes from the Latin word ‘cymbalum,’ which means bowl.
