Units 10–12: nature words and helping words
In Units 10 to 12 we learned words for eco-tourism (accommodation, sustainable, respect, protected area, snorkelling), for wildlife (habitat, migrate, flock, wild), for helping (donate, support, volunteer, participate, charity) and for the story (carpenter, yard, order, dome). We also learned two-part verbs: give back (to do something good for others), help out (to help with a job), look after (to take care of), start up (to begin) and be kind to (to treat gently). Two-part verbs have two or three words but one meaning. Put the object in the right place: We look after the plants. Read page 102 of your book with a grown-up and then use these words in your own sentences.
| Nature | Helping | Two-part verbs |

I want to help out at the school garden.
That is kind. Who will look after the plants in the holidays?
The volunteers will. They give back to our school.
Good. Ask a teacher first.
We look after the plants. Volunteers help out at the shelter. The students started up a book club.
Word map. The child draws three circles: Nature, Helping and Story. In each circle the child writes five words from Units 10 to 12 and one sentence. Then the child explains one two-part verb to a grown-up and uses it in a sentence.
