A new school year

It’s the start of a new school year!

Yes, back to the old routine, starting with the canteen.

I have a feeling that I’ve forgotten something. But what?

In English a “canteen” is a place in a factory, office, school, etc. where they serve food to the people who work or study.

A school “year” (not course) is the period of time in each twelve months when schools are open and students are studying there.

The beginnings

Sports

Climbing is the sport for Mario “Climbing gives* you self-confidence and shows* you that you can always do better.”

“I started* rock climbing when I was five. I went to a sports club to sign* up for swimming but then I saw* the climbing* wall – and I knew I wanted to climb! My family and friends were a* bit surprised because none* of them did any climbing. Now I practise twice* a week at a sports club and I love it!” “I think climbing is good for you. It helps you to think, use your logic, concentrate and to coordinate your hands and feet. You also have* to look* after your team, which is good because you get* a sense of team spirit. Climbing gives* you self-confidence and shows* you that you can always do better. The easiest thing is anchoring*, putting hooks* in to support your weight* and stop you from falling. The most difficult thing is making* sure you’re doing things right because you’re helping your teammate* to climb by slackening* the rope and trying* to prevent them from falling.”

And more “I’ve learnt a lot of techniques since* I started*. But I still* have a lot more to learn. I want to climb steeper* walls! Anyway*, I’m not thinking of giving* up climbing yet* - I enjoy* it so much! You should* try it!” Do you do a sport or play a musical instrument? Would you like to appear in this section? Write to us (in English or Spanish) at ilej@bayard-revistas.com and tell us all about it.

! Ah h h

Mind* the hippo! This big fat grandad* looks* very sweet*… But watch* out! Move into his territory and, despite* his little legs, he runs very fast to* make you scarper!

ow peaceful* this hippo looks* in the water with his mates*… Ah, there’s one who’s looking a bit cross*! He bites* the tail of one of his friends with his formidable teeth. Why is he so aggressive? He’s the alpha male*: he bullies* the young males* to keep* them under his control.

Female* hippos are less aggressive than the males* and prefer to help each* other. They have a lot of work to do because they keep* their baby close* for seven years! Often* one female* looks* after the babies in the herd* while* the other mothers are busy* doing other things. Like* a crèche*!

To mark his territory and prevent another male* approaching*, he poos* outside* the water, then whirls* his tail round to spread* the excrement everywhere*. The message is clear: this is my place*! The mother normally poos* in the water: her excrement serves as food as* the young hippos move from milk to grass*…

In the evening, when the sun isn’t so* strong, the herd* gets* out of the water and grazes* on the grass* in the savannah. The hippos can travel kilometres because they each* store* up more than 30 kilos of plants! Their skin is scarred*, the marks of previous fights*. Fortunately, it secretes a type of restorative* balm*: the hippo heals* itself. They don’t need help!

True Story

Anouk, on the insect trail*

Anouk has* been on a night expedition to discover butterflies*, mosquitoes and beetles*… She had some interesting encounters*! A light* trap… Before* nightfall*, we prepared some traps to attract insects. The first trap was a large white sheet*, lit* by a lamp that emits ultraviolet light* (invisible to the naked* eye). This light* particularly attracts male* insects. We catch them in a container* next to the white sheet*.

A monitor explains how to recognize different species.

… and a sugary* trap!

I’m wearing special glasses to protect my eyes from the light*. beetles: escarabajos before: antes de bugs: bichos butterflies: mariposas come close: se acercan

container: recipiente could hurt them: les podrías hacer daño death’s-head hawkmoth: polilla esfinge de la muerte

Some insects are attracted by light* but others aren’t. So*, we set* another trap by putting some sugary* paste on the trees. Insects come* close when they smell* the sugar. It’s great* having a second trap because that* way we can examine more species.

Butterflies* galore*! I managed* to look at about twenty insects. The one that most impressed me was the death’s-head* hawkmoth. The markings on its thorax form a skull*!

C. didn’t go out either because he’s scared of sharks. Neither of them is the thief. Indigo is outside and someone used Amaya’s suit because it’s wet. 3. Who stole the sardine? Indigo was in the submarine at the time of the theft. If she had gone out, H2-Oh would have seen her because he was recharging just above her. Nadia is lying. She didn’t drink coffee – she had tea. Her cup is still in the bubble with its tea bag. What’s more, she doesn’t really have an alibi: she’s the culprit! 4. How? Nadia put tea in Mac’s cup to make him ill. She went upstairs with C. and waited until Mac went to the toilet. Then, she took the snowball and put the sardine inside. After that, Nadia put on Amaya’s suit as Amaya is the same size as her. She went out of the base to hide the snowball, swam round behind the base so that nobody could see her and then went back inside! Page 19.
