 LET’S READ A STORY

Terrific Trains
Big trains, small trains, old trains and new, ra ling and whistling -
Choo, Choo, Choo!
Star ng from the sta on with a whistle and a hiss, steam trains
huffing and puffing like this.
Diesel trains rushing as they ra le down the line, warning us they
are coming with a long, low whine.
Metal wheels whirl as they whizz along the track. They shimmer
and they swish with a slick click -clack.
Carriages are coupled in a neat, long chain. An engine pulls the
carriages, and that makes a train.
If a train meets a river or a ballet or a ridge, the train goes over on a
big, strong bridge.
If a train meets a mountain it doesn't have to stop. It travels
through a tunnel and your ears go pop.
When too many trains try to share the same track, the signals and
the points have to hold some back.
When the rail meets a road, there's a crossing with a gate. The
train rushes through while the traffic has to wait.
Trains travel any me, even very late. This train's delivering a big
load of freight.
This train's for passengers, it's ready at the sta on.
Now Toad's in luck.
Here comes the truck!

Be Honest

Start teaching kids to be honest and not tell any lies, from a young age. These
are core values that need to be inculcated in your children. Make sure that they
s ck to what they’ve said. If they make empty promises, sit them down and
explain why it is important to tell the truth. Be firm and tell them that honesty is
the best policy. Moral development is significant, from early on.
