Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The school bell rang, it was the start of the summer holidays, and everyone ran out of school really happy. Teresa ran out of the school and down to the beach very fast, while Naomi and Melissa chaste after her, caught her up on the beach, and started teasing her. Melissa: look at her dorky hairstyle. Naomi: Yes, and her dorky brace, goofy teeth, and square clothes. They laughed at her and teased her and then grabbed her and throw her into the sea with all her clothes and schoolwork. The girls ran off. Teresa: Please help me I can't swim. But no one could hear her screaming. Until suddenly a mermaid rescued her and bought her back to shore and disappeared again. Teresa looked around confused as to how she managed to get back safely, she was dripping wet and cold and picked up her school stuff. Suddenly she saw a glowing within the caves that she thought was fire, so she went in to investigate. She thought I wonder what this strange but welcoming glow is. As she got into the caves she heard a voice, Who are you and what are you doing? Teresa: My name is Teresa and I have come in here to dry up and get warm. Suddenly a mirror appeared before her eyes and a spirit walked out. Spirit: I am the mirror's soul and I command you to look in the mirror. Teresa looked in the mirror and to her shock she was beautiful. Teresa: Oh, my Goodness I'm beautiful. Spirit: Yes, you are but not beautiful enough to be able to unlock the treasure yet. Teresa: Stop teasing me, there's no treasure and I'm not beautiful. She runs out all confused. A week later a new girl called Janice had moved into the street, her appearance was appalling to the eye; she had a big birth defect growing on her cheek. But she had a beautiful heart. That day Teresa went down to the beach and saw Melissa and Naomi picking on Janice. Teresa: what are you doing? Naomi: We are picking on this ugly-looking girl. Melissa: And if you join in, we promise we will leave you alone.

The Teacher’s Manual is a “walk through” for each lesson for the inexperienced as well as experienced teacher. Although the lessons are structured, the teacher is encouraged to use her and/or the children’s creativity and input. The lessons within the book can be tailored to be simple or more complex.

Download or read book The Deep Sea Diver written by AQEEL AHMED and published by AQEEL AHMED. This book was released on 2024-04-13 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Deep Sea Diver Daisy is a mermaid who loves exploring shipwrecks and historical sites. Dive deep into the water with her. Summary Daisy, a mermaid who can't get enough of excitement, lives in the deep, shimmering ocean, where the waves tell her stories about the past. Her heart is racing with excitement at the thought of finding old ships and historical sites. People who read "The Deep Sea Diver" will go on a trip that will forever change Daisy and the water she lives in. It's a world under the sea full of secrets and surprises. Daisy's trip starts when she discovers a strange map buried in the ribs of an old shipwreck. This map, which has been worn down by time and currents, shows where an underground city is that is secret and only fish talk about. Daisy sets out with excitement in her heart and a plan to help her. She has no idea of the wonders and dangers that lie ahead. On the trip, Daisy meets Dolly, a friendly dolphin who knows how to behave in the water. Daisy learns from Dolly that the trip isn't just about the places we see, but what we meet along the way. Dolly is both a teacher and a dear friend. They look at a lot of different underwater sights, from beautiful fields of jellyfish to the hauntingly beautiful wrecks of ships that have sunk. Each one has its own story to tell. Along the way, they meet an old turtle named Theo who teaches them about the ocean's delicate balance and how important it is to keep its resources safe. Daisy learns this the hard way, especially when she has to deal with the tricks and puzzles of the secret city and the dark, deep cave. While being cared for by Finley, an ancient fish, Daisy learns ancient secrets about how to protect the ocean and its species. These secrets are much more valuable than gold or gems. Daisy's growth can be seen on her trip back. She comes back determined to teach others what she has learned, both as an explorer and as an ocean guardian. The sea creatures are glad to see Daisy and Dolly again. They value her bravery and knowledge and have joined forces to protect their underwater home. "The Deep Sea Diver" is a story about friendship, excitement, and how curiosity can take you anywhere. Young readers learn the importance of friendship and bravery, as well as how important it is for all of us to protect the world's natural resources. This story about Daisy shows us that the lessons we learn and the people we meet along the way are often more important than the things we seek. Chapter 1: Daisy's World In the middle of the ocean, where the sun's loving touch makes the water dance with blue and green colors, there is a world that is so full of life and color that it seems almost magical. Daisy lives in a beautiful coral reef in the middle of the ocean. The reef is full of color and life. Daisy, a fish, lives in this beautiful place. That woman is beautiful. Her long, flowing hair changes colors like the ocean, from bright turquoise in the tropics to deep blue at midnight. Her tail is covered in scales that shine like gems under the water and make it easy for her to swim around her underwater home. Daisy's eyes are wide and shocked, and they sparkle with a thousand questions that haven't been answered yet. The coral house she lives in is beautiful, but she doesn't want to stay inside. Instead, her goal is to explore uncharted territory, like the huge area of deep sea beyond her home. She feels like the ocean is calling her to learn more about it and be amazed by its beauty. Daisy imagines herself discovering underwater city ruins that have been forgotten for a long time and swimming among old shipwrecks where the cold, salt water has kept the wood frames in good shape. Her heart beats fast when she thinks about the riches that might be hidden in these places. Maybe there are beautiful diamonds from pirate treasure or items from civilizations long ago buried under the water. Daisy's thoughts are always creative. She sees herself swimming across the water, her sharp eyes on the ground for clues and paths that lead to riches she doesn't know about. She wants to see every part of the huge ocean because she loves the thrill of finding new things. However, Daisy's world has more chances for adventures. Everything that lives here has a story to tell, from the tiny fish racing through the coral to the huge whales singing sad songs deep in the ocean. Daisy loves listening to the old sea turtles tell stories about when the ocean was very different from now. Their words are full of life-wise advice. She is amazed by how complicated the jellyfish's dances are and how their clear bodies shine in the dark water like magic. Daisy is deeply grateful for the life that the water provides, and her love for it goes beyond her desire for excitement. As she goes on her trips, she knows that the coral reef, with its many colors and shapes, is a live, breathing habitat that is home to many different kinds of animals. Daisy wants to keep this underwater paradise safe because she sees herself as its guardian. Even though coral seems to be very beautiful, she knows how fragile it is and wants to find ways to protect it for future generations. Daisy promised the ocean in her heart that she would respect and be amazed by its depths, keep its secrets safe, and protect its wealth. Her bravery and lack of fear, along with her kindness and intelligence, show the magic that lies beneath the ocean's surface. In Daisy's world, the ocean is a big, living thing that welcomes brave souls who are willing to explore its depths with open minds and hearts. It also serves as a warning of how all living things are linked. Daisy lives in a world where there are a million different things that can happen and is full of wonder. Every wave tells a story and every splash makes a sound. In the middle of the ocean, there is not only a healthy coral reef, but also a doorway to adventure. This is the spot where travel and finding dreams come true. Daisy is the magic that lives in the depths of the ocean. She is a lighthouse in the darkness of the ocean, calling us all to dive below the surface and discover the wonders that lie beneath. She is naturally curious and likes to try new things. Chapter 2: The Mysterious Chart Daisy, who loves to explore, found an old shipwreck on the sandy ocean floor, half-buried and abandoned. This happened during one of her normal investigations on a normal day. This shipwreck wasn't like any other; it was a ghost ship from a long time ago that had sailed the great seas above. The years have worn down and weathered its wood, telling stories of adventures that have yet to be found and riches that have been lost to time. Daisy's eyes, which were full of wonder and curiosity, looked around the dark room and saw something that didn't look right. A strange chart was hidden in a corner, out of reach of fish and the strong waves. Daisy had never seen a map like this before. It was made of a material that had, for some reason, stood the test of time. The ends were frayed and worn, showing that time had passed. The shape of an underwater metropolis could still be seen in the faded but still clear ink. Daisy had never met any fish, mermaids, or other aquatic animals that had been to this city. There were patterns and symbols all over this city that looked like beautiful buildings and tall towers tucked away by the blue sea. Daisy felt a level of excitement she had never felt before when she thought about that place, where time had stopped and no one could see it. Our young mermaid explorer felt like the map was more than just a piece of paper. It talked about a land that time seemed to have forgotten, a past that no one knew, and dark secrets. Daisy knew that this map was different because it had secrets buried in the sand and waves. It was exciting to think that she might find this hidden city and go somewhere (or swim) that no one had been in thousands of years. Daisy saw the map and knew this trip would not be easy. Along the way to the underwater city, there were signs that warned of risks and obstacles that were coming. There were places marked with symbols that made it look like mysterious guardians were watching over the passage, as well as narrow paths that wound through dark caves and huge gaps that had to be passed. She might have been scared or nervous, but the thought of finding something new and learning more about the river's past made those feelings less important. Daisy was ready to go on a trip and was determined to follow the map and find out what it meant. She knew that she would need all of her bravery and creativity for the journey ahead. The map became her most valuable thing because it held so many mysterious secrets and old, misspelled words. There was a puzzle that begged to be solved and a mystery that called her in. Daisy looked at the map every night, when bioluminescent plants gave it a soft glow, trying to figure out what the symbols meant and plan her route. There were secrets she didn't know about, stories about the people who lived there, and treasures she thought were hidden. Daisy used this plan to start a new part of her life and get to a certain place. It stood for the unknown and the chance of finding something truly amazing buried deep below the waves. Daisy loved the idea of standing (or flying) among the ruins of the underwater city and experiencing its history and beauty for herself. She saw herself as a link between the past and the present who could bring the story of the underwater city to the world above.

With a focus on scientific quality, ICCHP has become an important reference in our field. The 2010 conference and this collection of papers once again fulfilled this mission. The International Programme Committee, comprising 106 experts from all over the world, selected 147 full and 44 short papers out of 328 abstracts submitted to ICCHP. This acceptance ratio of about half of the submissions demonstrates our strict pursuit of scientific quality both of the programme and in particular of the proceedings in your hands. An impressive number of experts agreed to organize “Special Thematic Sessions” (STS) for ICCHP 2010. These STS help to bring the meeting into sharper focus in several key areas. In turn, this deeper level of focus helps to collate a state of the art and mainstream technical, social, cultural and political developments.

Download or read book Daisy s Pushkin Duel written by Nick Aaron and published by Another Imprint Publishers. This book was released on 2021-11-14 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1949 Daisy Hayes had a patient more or less her own age, Odile Speed, with whom she had a good rapport at once, and who told her about a strange kind of duel, interrupted for many years, from a short story by Pushkin. Then on Christmas Eve of 1952 our blind sleuth extraordinaire stumbled on the scene of a murder just being committed. She bumped into the culprit and the victim died in her arms. The police interrogated her at once. But soon it became clear that the testimony of a blind witness was bound to be worthless in a court of law, the results of the coroner’s inquest were inconclusive at best, and it seemed that the murderer, whoever he was, would get away scot-free. It was only in 1986, during a stay in Zermatt with her old friend Beatrice, that Daisy was confronted again with this ‘cold case’. She then experienced first-hand what it is like to fight your own version of a ‘Pushkin duel’ to the bitter end.
