Unit 15: A Little Flower, pages 56–57 Ask pupils to point to the relevant part of the plant on page 57 as you read the following. Plants help people and animals to live. They provide food for us and for animals. They also make oxygen which we need to breathe. Plants have different parts to them just like we do. We have arms, a nose and a mouth and they all do different jobs. The different parts of a plant also do different jobs. The roots are normally underground. They keep the plant in place so that it does not fall over or blow away. Roots also suck up water and minerals from the soil. The stem holds up the plant. It is like a straw and brings water from the roots to the rest of the plant. The leaves use light, water and warmth to make food ( the process of photosynthesis ). They also help the plant to ‘breathe’ and make the air cleaner for us to breathe. The flower smells nice and is brightly coloured to attract insects. Insects help the plant to make seeds. Seeds travel to different places where they grow into more flowers and fruit. The wind scatters some of the seeds. Birds eat and drop others.

I will help! I will help!” he shouted. page 39 “No! You will not,” said Tiger fiercely. “I will eat it myself.” Then Tiger sat down with his children to eat the best bread they had ever tasted.

Jake liked going to the supermarket with Mom but today it was taking a long time. Mom was at the fish counter when Jake saw his friend, Tom. “Look at this,” said Tom, showing him the little car he held in his hand. He showed Jake the top and the bottom and the inside of the car and he let Jake push it along the supermarket floor. Then Jake turned back to the fish counter. But Mom wasn’t there! He looked all around but he couldn’t see her. He felt a bit scared. What if she had gone home without him? He ran to the front of the store.
