2A: children work in groups of 3. Get the groups together and give them a pair of scissors and one page 2A per group. T plays the video step-by-step so that each group can work together to make sure the pop-up book is completed correctly. Hand out the remaining pages; learners work together to complete these. And Play background music as learners work.

They should give the friends badge to that friend. 2B: children cut out the origami cup, T plays the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDqXesdX--Y) to demonstrate making the cup. T Reminds children to be "good friends" as they each make a cup, then they cut out the Water Works Wonders cards. T discusses each fact, asking the class the questions as it goes on. Children put the cards into their cups with the question sides facing up. In pairs, they take out a question which their friend will read to them for them to answer. Together the class decides who is drinking enough water and how they can help friends who aren't drinking enough to do so. Learners glue the water cup to the file and place the cards in it. Add a paper clip to secure. 2C: children cut out the accordion water book and fold it. They decide in pairs which things they do and which they don't. They then cut out the small signs. T asks if anyone knows what they are for; Where would they see them? T decide where (and how) learners could fix their signs. Children cut out the tap and fix the tap and water book to their files.T makes sure they glue the book first only on the section which says glue, followed by the tap. 2D: children cut out the planet puppet and fix it to the file. T sees if they can make any of the sentences into unhappy earth sentences (negative), e.g. take short showers = don't take short showers/take long showers. Learners cut out the Make the Earth Smile cards. children check each one to make sure that each shows a way to make the earth happy and not sad and as the class makes each sentence into an unhappy earth sentence, children write the sentences next to the happy earth sentences. Children fix the cards to the front of the file. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oxford Discover, writing and spelling.
