April Fool story by Katherine Battersby , illustrated by David Legge LIFE INSIDE A piano’s not so bad.
Sure, it’s small, but some would say it’s cosy. If I were a real estate agent, I’d say: it’s a unique compact space, with lovely wooden floorboards and decorative ceilings. A fixer-upper. Heaps of potential.
There are some bonuses to being cramped. I’ve got to know myself a lot better in here. And I don’t just mean that wishy-washy emotional stuff either, but important things. Like the fact that I have twenty-three hairs on my left foot, but only seventeen on my right. Weird. And there’s a freckle the shape of a hamburger on my knee—but maybe I’m just hungry.
Having my own place is great. Sure, Mum might miss me, but she’ll get over it. My sister will go on to do great things. Might even become a hairdresser or something. They’ll put a plaque in my room: TOBY—Loved a good joke. Missed by all.
You hear all sorts of strange things from inside a piano. You can still hear Mrs Pumpernickel screaming. But I also heard Yasmin tell Ben that she liked him. And I heard Ben tell Yasmin that she’s got funny feathery hair. Then I heard Yasmin crying.
I think Ben’s an idiot. I banged the keys around a bit, just to scare him.
It’s not all sunny skies, though. There is one teensy problem with my new home. No-one’s into playing ‘Mary had a little lamb’ anymore. No; Mrs Pumpernickel likes to teach complicated pieces, like Pachelbel’s ‘Canon’ and Joplin’s ‘The Entertainer’. Pieces that use every key on the piano. Great acoustics in here, but the hammer thingies keep clacking along my ribs like I’m a xylophone.
I only wish I wasn’t stuck here for the best day of the year: a day my mum calls Toby’s Trickster Tirade. April 1st is my time to shine. I had big things planned. But Mrs Pumpernickel just doesn’t understand my genius.
On the upside, no-one knows I’m here, so I have plenty of time to myself. I’ve thought up all sorts of new practical jokes—real crackers. And I’ve always wanted a spider for a pet. Mum would never let me have one, but now I have at least five. As far as roommates go, they’re a little hairier than I might have hoped for, but they don’t whinge as much as my sister.
All in all, I’m pretty happy. Life inside a piano’s really not so bad. I think I’ll stay here. For a while anyway. Until I can grow a beard. Or maybe just until high school. Well, at least until Mrs Pumpernickel calms down about the frog I put in her tuba.

• The word energy comes from the Greek word
energeia. • Most types of energy are either a form of kinetic
energy or potential energy. • Common examples include heat energy, elastic
potential energy, chemical energy, sound energy, nuclear energy, geothermal energy and gravitational potential energy.
• Kinetic energy refers to the energy an object has because of its movement. A car in motion has kinetic energy, as does a basketball when you pass or shoot it.
• Energy can be transformed from one form to another. In lightning, electric potential energy transforms into light, heat and sound energy.
• The law of conservation of energy states that energy can only be transformed, it can’t be created or destroyed.
• You might have heard of Albert Einstein’s famous formula E = mc² (energy equals mass multiplied by the speed of light squared).
• Food contains chemical energy which is used by living organisms such as animals to grow and reproduce. Food energy is usually measured in calories or joules.
Energy facts
• Wind farms contain large numbers of wind turbines which are used to transform wind energy into a useful energy such as electricity. The use of wind power to generate electricity doubled between the years 2005 and 2008. More wind energy facts.
• The USA's Mojave Desert is home to the world's largest solar power plant. More solar power facts.
• The Three Gorges Dam in China is the world's largest hydroelectric power station. More hydropower facts.
• Nuclear power produces around 13% of the world's electricity. More nuclear power facts.
• Plants use energy from sunlight during an important process called photosynthesis.
• A person standing on a diving board above a swimming pool has gravitational potential energy.
• During chemical reactions, chemical energy is often transformed into light or heat.
• Stretched rubber bands and compressed springs are examples of elastic potential energy.

Wednesday Grammar: Topic SentencesGood paragraphs have a sentence that tells the main idea. This is called the topic sentence. The topic sentence is usually the first sentence in a paragraph and tells the reader what they will be reading about.
Lantern fish live near the bottom of the ocean where it is very dark, so they carry their
own lights. The lights look like tiny glowing pearls. They are called photophores. A lantern
fish can flash its photophores on and off. A lantern fish gives off enough light to light up a
dark room.
Main idea: Lantern fish give off light.

moulds. After the centres harden, they are given a steam bath and a sugar shower. Then,
coloured syrup is poured over each centre and allowed to harden into a hard shell. Last,
the shell is polished. Seven days have passed, and the jelly beans are ready to eat!

During parties in Mexico, children are blindfolded and given a stick. They use the stick
to try to break a piñata. The piñata, a decorated container filled with lollies and small
treats, is an important festival tradition. Piñatas are made in many shapes. The special
containers are suspended by ropes. As the children take turns trying to hit the piñata,
the rope is used to raise and lower it, to make breaking it even harder. When the piñata is
broken, children scramble for the goodies that spill on the floor.

Capacity is the amount of liquid a container can hold.
We measure the capacity of anything which can hold something else.
A carton of milk
can have a capacity
of 1 litre.
Volume is how much space an object takes up. It includes solids,
liquids and gases.
Capacity vs Volume
If you are blowing up a balloon, you are increasing the volume of gas.

KATHMANDU - NEPAL
In Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, waste is a big issue too.
Private companies collect waste from homes but not everyone can afford to pay for the service. Those who can’t have the option of taking their waste to selected areas within the city or leaving it out on the streets.
Informal street collection and waste areas provide opportunities for up to 15,000 people, including children, to make a living from waste.
SAYEED AND SUNIL
One of the first opportunities to make money is to sort waste into different material types and sell it on to scrap dealers for reuse or recycling.
Sayeed and Sunil aged 13 and 15 collect waste, including plastics and metals, from the streets of Kathmandu to sell on to scrap dealers.
Sorting through mixed materials is a dangerous job. One simple way the boys keep safe is to wear protective clothing provided by Practical Action in Nepal.

A life cycle analysis (LCA) is used to work out the environmental impact of a product throughout its whole life.
Why might a designer, engineer or scientist be interested in the LCA of a plastic bottle?
4RS
The 4Rs (Rethink, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle)can be used to develop ideas to reduce the negative impact a product has on the environment.

Instructions:
Chat about the significance of the poppy with regards to Anzac Day or Remembrance Day. The poppies were the first thing to grow on the battlefields after the First World War. The poppies are a reminder of the lives lost and act as a symbol of hope and regeneration from the devastation of war.
1
Show your students a picture of a model artwork (next page) and discuss how they think it was made. You can use the materials you have organised for the activity as clues. 2
Next, talk about the colours they will need (blue, white, red, black, light green and dark green). Where might students find these colours in the magazines? Go through some examples and cut out sections of sky, a red dress or green from the background of an advertisement.
3
Start with the background areas, cut or tear and stick small pieces. Then, move on to the flower, using red to create your poppy and finally, move on to the black seeds. Remember to overlap the paper to avoid gaps.

This activity lends itself towards partners, as one student can cut out colours while the other sticks them onto the artwork.
The final artworks would make a beautiful display, gathered together to form their own field of poppies!
