Pedro thought that he was smarter than any of his colleagues, so he tricked them every time he got the opportunity. He took their coins, marbles and even food through the keenest ways possible. The boys wanted to avenge him for his unfair deeds. Beating him was out of the question because he was too big and muscular. Troy and Tim thought that something had to be done and so they planned to punish him in some way.

One Sunday, Troy, Pedro and Tim made their way through the narrow track to their favourite pond and came to Mrs. Graham's ackee tree. Tim suggested that Pedro was the most fearless and should climb the tree to pick a few ripe fruits for them. He accepted. Meanwhile, Simeon suggested to Mrs. Graham that she should release the dog because a stranger was picking her ackees. By the time the dog was untied the two boys on the ground had already made good their escape. The dog saw Pedro and remained under the tree. Every time he shifted his position, the dog growled at him until it was getting dark. Pedro screamed and begged for help, but Simeon pretended not to hear. That evening, the rain fell heavily and there were chilly winds that accompanied it. The uncomfortable weather forced Pedro to huddle on a large branch and beneath some leaves for shelter. Simeon, thinking that the punishment was enough, recaptured the animal and took him back to the kennel.

1. On which day did the boys punish Pedro?

2. Of what did Pedro cheat the boys?

Saturday, May 18, 2024 Class 3's COMPREHENSION I dared not stir out of my castle for days, lest some savage should capture me. However, I gained a little courage and went with much dread to make sure that the footprint was not mine. I measured my foot against it. Mine was not nearly so large. A stranger, maybe a savage, must have been on shore, and fear again filled my heart. I determined now to make my house more secure than ever. I built another wall around it, in which I fixed six guns, so that, if need be, I could fire six in two minutes. Then I planted young trees all around. I feared my goats might be hurt or stolen from me, so I fenced round several plots of ground, as much out of sight as possible, and put some goats in each plot. I did all this, while I lived with a terrible fear in my mind that I might one day meet an enemy. I had lived eighteen y...

Tourism Tourism means people travelling to places outside of their usual home. A tourist is anyone traveling for fun, business or visiting relatives. A tourist must stay at least 24 hours but for less than one year. There are different types of tourists. First, a domestic tourist is a person who spends at least one night away from their normal home but still within their own country. Some people call this a ‘staycation’. Then, there are regional tourists. This is a tourist who travels within a certain region. For example, a Barbadian visiting Jamaica.
