Audio Transcript Auto-generated

• 00:01 - 00:02

  high class for today.

• 00:02 - 00:04

  As you know, it is World Book Day.

• 00:05 - 00:07

  And as part of World Book Day, I wanted to

• 00:07 - 00:08

  share with you one of my favorite books.

• 00:09 - 00:11

  Lots of you will know that this is one of

• 00:11 - 00:13

  my favorite books, and it's a book that we're going

• 00:13 - 00:14

  to read after Easter.

• 00:15 - 00:16

  But I thought I would just share the first chapter

• 00:17 - 00:17

  with you.

• 00:17 - 00:20

  Now. Some of you heard the first chapter when we're

• 00:21 - 00:24

  doing a little reading comprehension in class, but I'm going

• 00:24 - 00:25

  to share the first chapter with you again.

• 00:27 - 00:29

  There's no lake at Camp Green Lake.

• 00:30 - 00:33

  There once was a very large league there, the largest

• 00:33 - 00:36

  lake in Texas that was over 100 years ago.

• 00:37 - 00:40

  Now it is just a dry, flat wasteland.

• 00:41 - 00:43

  There used to be a time of Green Lake as

• 00:43 - 00:46

  well. The town shriveled and dried up, along with the

• 00:46 - 00:48

  lake and the people who lived there.

• 00:48 - 00:49

  During the summer.

• 00:50 - 00:53

  The daytime temperature hovers around 95 degrees in the shade.

• 00:54 - 00:57

  If you can find any shared, there's not much shade

• 00:58 - 00:59

  in a big, dry lake.

• 01:00 - 01:03

  The only trees are too old oaks on the eastern

• 01:03 - 01:06

  edge of the lake, a hammock is stretched between the

• 01:06 - 01:08

  two trees and the log cabin stands.

• 01:08 - 01:11

  Between that, the campers are forbidden to lie in a

• 01:11 - 01:13

  hammock. It belongs to the warden.

• 01:14 - 01:17

  The warden owns the shade right on the lake.

• 01:18 - 01:21

  Rattlesnakes and scorpions find shade under rocks and in the

• 01:21 - 01:23

  holes dug by the campers.

• 01:24 - 01:27

  Here's a good rule to remember about rattlesnakes and scorpions.

• 01:28 - 01:30

  If you don't bother them, they won't bother you.

• 01:31 - 01:34

  Usually being bitten by a scorpion or even a rattlesnake

• 01:35 - 01:37

  is not the worst thing that can happen to you.

• 01:38 - 01:38

  You won't die.

• 01:39 - 01:43

  Usually. Sometimes a camper will try to be bitten by

• 01:43 - 01:45

  a scorpion or even a small rattlesnake.

• 01:46 - 01:48

  Then he will get to spend a day or two

• 01:48 - 01:51

  recovering in his tempt instead of having to dig a

• 01:51 - 01:53

  hole right on the lake.

• 01:55 - 01:56

  But you don't want to be bitten by a yellow

• 01:57 - 01:57

  spotted lizard.

• 01:58 - 02:00

  That's the worst thing that can happen to you.

• 02:01 - 02:02

  You will die a slow and painful down.

• 02:04 - 02:04

  Well, please.

• 02:05 - 02:07

  If you get bitten by a yellow spotted lizard, you

• 02:08 - 02:10

  might as well go into the shade of the oak

• 02:10 - 02:12

  trees and lie in that hammock.

• 02:13 - 02:14

  There's nothing anyone can do to you anymore.

• 02:16 - 02:17

  So we're gonna be reading this book after Easter.

• 02:18 - 02:20

  I love reading this book.

• 02:20 - 02:22

  It makes me laugh every time.

• 02:22 - 02:25

  And I read it quite a few times, so I'm

• 02:25 - 02:27

  hoping that we will enjoy that book as well.

• 02:28 - 02:31

  So on our home Learning page, there are going to

• 02:31 - 02:33

  be a number of other activities to do for World

• 02:33 - 02:33

  Book Day.

• 02:34 - 02:37

  So have a look at those and and that's try

• 02:37 - 02:39

  and be creative with World Big Day.
