Primary 5: Rev Up! English

On Noah's Ark, things were getting a bit boring. Noah and his animals had
spent so many days secluded that they started organising games and activities to
amuse themselves. But, with all that pent up energy, the games got rather rowdy,
and a woodpecker ended up drilling a hole in the bottom of the ark. As water began
entering the boat, the hole got bigger and things got a bit worrying.

One by one, different animals tried to fix the hole. They even got competitive
about it because everyone wanted to be the animal that saved the ark. The beaver
built a dam over the hole, but not even that worked. Everyone was scared, worried
that the boat would sink. That was, until the bee started talking. The bee explained
to everyone how it was that bees always worked together, as a team, each one
doing the job they were best at. On hearing this, all the animals set about working
together, each one playing their part by contributing their own special talent. The
birds grabbed onto parts of the ark with their beaks, and flapped their wings
furiously, lifting the boat up a little. The elephants sucked up the water in their
trunks and shot it back into the sea. The fastest animals ran here and there,
collecting materials. Those used to making nests took this material and stuffed it
quickly into the hole.

And so, working together, the animals managed to reduce the amount of water
coming into the ark, but they still had not stopped it completely. Desperate, they
kept asking each other if there were any other animals that could help. They
searched and searched, but there were no other animals left in the ark. Then,
suddenly, a little fish swam in through the hole. The animals realised that they still
had not asked for help from all the sea creatures. They asked the little fish to go
and summon help to save their boat. He swam off and soon fish after fish arrived at
the ark. Even a big whale came, and the whale pressed its great belly against the
hole in the ship. This stopped any more water entering, and it gave the animals on
the ark time to close up the hole.

Teamwork is all about
showcasing an individual's
talent and utilizing it to the

best possible extent.

Share with the class examples of how teamwork has led to the successful completion of a task.

The Five Essential
Elements Of A Story

A story has five basic but important elements. These five components are :
exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution. These
essential elements keep the story running smoothly and allow the action to
develop in a logical way that the reader can follow.

E xposition:B eginningof theStory

The exposition is the beginning of the story. The author introduces the main
characters, establishes the setting and reveals major conflicts in the story.

R isingA ction

The rising action occurs when the main problem or conflict is addressed with a
form of action. This will lead to the climax.

Climax

The climax is the turning point in the story. It often revolves around the
protagonist’s most difficult challenge or the worst moment.

F allingA ction

The falling action happens immediately after the climax and details the
consequences the characters must deal with after the turning point of events. It
will lead up to the resolution.

R esolution:E ndof theStory

The resolution tells us what happens to the characters after the conflict is
resolved.
