IV Read the text about safe water and circle the right question. More than a billion people, almost one-fifth of the worlds population, lack access to safe drinking water, and 40 percent lack access to basic sanitation. As a result, a child dies every eight seconds from drinking dirty water. It is estimated that 5,000 children die every day as a result of drinking unsafe water, while every 21 seconds a child perishes from waterborne diseases such as typhoid, cholera, and dysentery. A UNICEF Report found that about six million people are blind today from trachoma, an eye infection spread mainly through poor hygiene caused by lack of adequate water supplies and unsafe environmental sanitation conditions. The UN warns that unless action is stepped up, the number of people without access to safe water will increase to 2.3 billion by 2025, with the number of those who die from unsafe water expected to jump sharply as well. Ensuring access to safe, clean water worldwide is critical. Not only is it essential for successful agriculture, food and energy production, but it is also a children's issue because water is vital for healthy development and survival. Did you know that each of us uses about 400 litre of water daily? Thats enough to sustain 16 African families for a day. In our homes, we go into the kitchen, turn on the tap and drink clean refreshing waterinstantly. In contrast, a mother in Zimbabwe might have to travel a long way in search of clean, drinkable water to save her baby. We, in this part of the world, are blessed with easy access to clean water. Not the case worldwide. 1. How many people lack access to safe drinking water? A More than one billion. B More than two billion. C More than three billion. 5. Trachoma is a dangerous eye infection caused by: A Unsafe environmental sanitation conditions. B Eating too much Trachoma sweets. C Drinking too much water. 6. Why is access to safe water crucial for children? A So that they can play with water. B So that they can grow healthily. C So that they can sell water in bottles 7. The water that we use daily can sustain: A 16 African families. B 5 African families. C 30 African families.

2. How many people lack access to basic sanitation? A 10 percent. B 25 percent. C 40 percent. 3. What happens every eight seconds in the world as a result of bad sanitation? A A child is born. B A child gets sick. C A child dies. 4. Typhoid, cholera and dysentery are: A Games that children in Africa play. B Diseases from which children in Africa die. C Medications that children in Africa take.

TO BE CUT AND SHUFFLED. DO NOT HAND OUT THE BOLD LETTER CARDS.

Thousands of years ago Before history had really begun, There was a king called Minos. He wasn't a very nice one.

He volunteered to be sacrificed To the giant with the bull's head But he did not plan to be eaten, He planned to kill it instead.

King Minos had a pet monster, A giant with the head of a bull. This monster liked to eat people Its hunger was insatiable.

Minos's daughter, the princess, Thought Theseus was cool. She decided to help him in his quest And gave him a ball of wool.

This scary creature had a name It was called the Minotaur. It had sharp teeth that could bite And pointy horns that could gore.

Theseus let out the wool Behind him, as he explored, So he knew he could find his way out again. He also carried a sword.

The Minotaur lived in the labyrinth, A maze of long corridors. The king kept it locked up there Behind big strong oak doors.

When Theseus found the Minotaur It gave a terrible bellow. But our hero was not afraid He was a courageous fellow.

Every now and then He'd give the monster a treat. He'd throw some people into the maze For the monster to eat.

The Minotaur lowered its horns and charged Theseus jumped aside. He stabbed the monster with his sword The monster fell down, and died.

One day, a hero called Theseus, A very brave young man Decided to put a stop to this, And came up with a plan.

Then Theseus followed the trail of wool And found the way out once more. And nobody ever was again Eaten by a Minotaur.
