Well, the man who's talking to Mum is my Maths

They do the 'After school club'.

a new club where we can do lots of exciting things
on Thursday afternoons. ... And can you guess who

OK. They've got a climbing wall inside and

learn to sail and fish, and you can go swimming
there when it's hot.

Hmmm. Let's see. You can learn to skate, Suzy.

and carefully. Where are you, Dad?

I'm outside with Suzy. She's learning to skate.
MR STAR: How's she doing?
GRANDPA: Well,
she isn't doing badly. She doesn't want to fall,
so she's skating slowly.

with a bad headache. And then, there was a girl
who had a bowl on her head!

all started to think about our school show.

musical. We had to sing. And we danced!
MRS
STAR: Did you dance, Simon?
SIMON: Well, I
didn't dance, but I hopped, skipped and jumped to
the music ... and Meera and Stella laughed a lot.
STELLA: Well, Simon, you were funny. Mr Burke
watched us dancing and listened to us singing, but
then he
stopped us!

ALEX: Hi, Simon. Did you finish your
homework yesterday?
SIMON: Yeah, I wrote about
Shackleton. Who did you write about?
ALEX:
Jacques Cousteau. He was a French explorer.
Shackleton's adventures were more difficult than
Cousteau's,
but I think Cousteau is more
famous.
SIMON: Really. What did he do?
ALEX: He sailed in his ship, the Calypso, and
explored sea life.
SIMON: But Shackleton's
life was more exciting. Why was Cousteau famous?
ALEX: Because he helped us to understand our
world. He made 120 TV programmes and films and he
was one of
the first people to tell us to be
more careful with the sea.
SIMON: Yeah, that's
true. We have to look after our world.
STELLA:
Huh, our homework was more boring than theirs.
LENNY: Yes, but ours was easier than theirs,
so I had time to watch TV after I finished mine.
STELLA: Yeah!

GRANDMA: No, not really.
Can you show us, please?
STELLA: Yeah, first
you have to turn the computer on. Push this button
here. Then you have to turn on the screen.
That's this button here. Now you hold the
mouse in your hand and ...
GRANDMA: What
mouse?
SUZY: This here, Grandma. It's called a
mouse because it's got a long tail. Look.
GRANDMA: Oh, I see.
STELLA: Then you click
on this program, and you can write your email.
SIMON: OK. What do you want to do, Grandpa?
GRANDPA: I want to go on the Internet. I want
to buy a DVD or a video about fishing.
SIMON:
You don't want a video, Grandpa. A DVD's better
because you can watch it on your new computer.
Now,
you need an MP3 player, Grandpa.
GRANDPA: No, Simon. Now I need a cup of tea.

How exciting, Grandpa! Which computer did you get?
GRANDMA: We got a really good one. It's
a KBX4.
SIMON: Why did you choose that one?
GRANDPA: Well, we chose it because your
grandma read about it and the man in the shop said
it was a good one.
GRANDMA: Yes, he thought it
was better than the others.
SIMON: Did you
bring it home with you?
GRANDMA: Oooh, no. The
nice man from the shop brought the computer home
later.
GRANDPA: Yes, he took it out of the
box, put it on the table and said goodbye.
GRANDMA: Yes, he thought that we knew
something about computers, but we don't. We don't
know how to turn
it on!

MR BURKE:
Welcome to the Kid's Box Quiz. Let's hear it for
these two clever kids in today's big final: Lenny
and
Stella.
LENNY AND STELLA: Hello, Mr
Burke.
MR BURKE: Look at the animals on the
wall behind me. Lenny, which do you think is the
most exciting?
LENNY: Er, I think the most
exciting animal is the tiger.
MR BURKE: Great.
Now tell us about tigers. You get five points for
each fact.
LENNY: Well, the Siberian tiger's
the biggest and the strongest animal in the cat
family. It's not the quickest cat, but
it can
run at 55 km an hour. The heaviest Siberian tiger
weighed 465 kilograms.
MR BURKE: Very good.
That's 15 points. Now, Stella, which animal do you
think is the most beautiful, and what can
you
tell us about it?
STELLA: I think the most
beautiful animal is the dolphin. It's one of the
cleverest animals and I also think dolphins
are the best parents - they look after their
young for more than three years ... Erm ... oh,
yes, and do you know that
dolphins
can't drink sea water? They have to get water from
their food.
MR BURKE: Very good, Stella. That
gives you 15 points. Now, put your hands on the
buttons. The quickest person
to press the
button and answer the question correctly gets five
points. Which animal is the loudest in the world?
LENNY: Is it the elephant?
MR BURKE:
Sorry, Lenny. It isn't.
STELLA: Is it the blue
whale?
MR BURKE: Yes, that's right, Stella.
Five points for you. The blue whale is the loudest
animal in the world. And now
for my next
question ...

SUZY: Here's a picture
for you, Mum. I drew it at the city zoo before we
came home.
SIMON: Yes, Dad drove us there this
morning.
STELLA: It was great. We saw the
dolphins. They swam round the pool and jumped out
of the water to eat fish from
a man's hand.
SUZY: Look, it's here in the picture. And we
saw some baby lions, Mum. They ran in a big square
cage, but their
parents slept all day.
STELLA: After we saw the lions, we went into
the parrots' cage and they flew round our heads.
SUZY: They were the most beautiful animals.
Dad bought me a toy parrot. Look, it's over there
on the table.
MRS STAR: Mmm!
SIMON: A
parrot sat on Dad's head. It was really funny, but
the lizard was the best. It caught a fly.
Ffphffkkk. And
ate it for its lunch.

the pirate and the robot are both trying to get
third place. Ooh, this is very exciting. And the

well.
MR STAR: Er,
she isn't jumping, Dad. She's walking.

got the shortest legs.
