Our School Trip to Nabq National Park by Heba Osman
Nabq is a very big National Park in South Sinai. Along the coast
here, there are 4.8 kilometers of mangrove forest, which is the
largest in the Red Sea. We went there to learn why mangrove forests
are so important for the marine ecosystem.
When we arrived at the beach, we saw trees growing out of the
sea. Most trees can't grow in salt water, but mangrove trees can.
They have amazing roots which grow high out of the water. These
roots help them get oxygen. When I touched the trees' leaves, they
felt very thick. These special leaves stop plants losing water when it's
very hot.

6
 We learned that mangrove trees help the environment in many
ways. Mangrove trees protect the non-living things and the living
things in the marine ecosystem. When there are storms, their deep
roots stop the sand washing away. The forests are also a safe home
for many animals.
Hundreds of different kinds of fish, birds, insects, and other
animals live in the mangrove forests. We could see many little fish
swimming in the shallow water among the roots of the trees, where
bigger fish and other animals couldn't catch them. That is how
mangrove trees help young fish survive.
The leaves of the mangrove trees take four times more carbon
dioxide from the air than other kinds of tree. Mangrove trees help us
with global warming.
We also saw small yellow flowers on
the mangrove trees. There were a lot of
bees and other insects on them. Bees make
a special honey from the mangrove flowers.
People say mangrove honey helps fight some
illnesses and diseases.
What I liked most about the mangroves
was seeing all the different species making
a community. The plants, animals, and insects
all interact with each other to survive. I've never seen so many
different species of butterflies! It was a great day.

Read and learn. SB P. 5

An ecosystem is all the animals and plants in an area. The
ecosystem can be as small as a pond or as big as a forest. In an
ecosystem, living things such as plants and animals interact with non-
living things such as water, rocks, and soil. The different species in an
ecosystem make a community, and they all need each other to survive.

In the mangrove tree
A kingfisher was visiting her old friend, the lizard, in a mangrove
tree. She flew down and sat next to the lizard.
"You look sad," said the kingfisher to the lizard.
"What's the matter?"
"People came and cut down some trees.
The trees protected the worms and the fish we eat,
but now it's difficult to find food."
"Oh no!" said the kingfisher, looking worried. "I'm hungry."
Suddenly, a dugong came up out of the sea. "Hello Dugong!" said the
lizard, surprised. "Hello Lizard. Hello Kingfisher. I have some bad
news," said the dugong.
"What is it? Are the people back again?" asked the kingfisher. "Yes,
they are. Can't you hear them?'' replied the dugong.
The lizard and the kingfisher listened carefully.
They heard trucks and people shouting. "Oh no.
How many more mangrove trees are they going
to cut down?" cried the lizard.
At that moment, the animals heard a buzzing sound.
There were three bees buzzing around the tree.
One of the bees flew close to the other animals and said, "The
people are not going to cut down more trees. They are going to plant
other mangrove trees. They understand that they made a mistake.
They have learned that the mangrove trees are important, so they're
planting new ones. They brought us here to help the trees grow."
"How will you help the trees grow?" asked the dugong, confused.
"We carry pollen from one plant or tree to another and that helps
them to make seeds," explained the bee.
"So, is life going to get better here?" asked the kingfisher.
"Yes, it is," replied the bee, smiling.
"Good!" said the lizard and the kingfisher together. "We're hungry!"

The kingfisher visited her friend, the lizard, in a mangrove tree. The
lizard was sad. She explained that when the people came to the
mangrove forest, they cut down the trees. After that, it was difficult
for the lizard to find food to eat. Dugong told his friends the kingfisher
and the lizard that the people were back. They could hear trucks and
people shouting. The animals were worried. Then they heard some bees
buzzing around the tree. A bee told the animals what was happening. The
people learned that the trees were important, and they were part of the
ecosystem. The people were planting more trees and they brought the
bees to help the trees make seeds. When the trees grow again, there
will be more food for the animals.

Are plants similar to humans?
In some ways, humans are similar to plants. Think
about our circulatory system. Instead of water, our veins
and arteries carry blood around our bodies. Veins move
blood away from our heart. Arteries carry blood to it. The
nutrients and oxygen that we need are in our blood. But we
don't use carbon dioxide like plants do.
Humans need sunlight, too. We can't make our own food, but we get
vitamin D from sunlight. This can help protect us from getting sick.
Sunlight also makes a lot of people feel happy!

Listen and read. SB P. 13

Your heart beats over 100,000 times a day! So
it's important to keep your heart healthy, When
you walk, run, swim, or cycle, you make your heart
work harder. If you exercise regularly, your heart
gets better and you can get the minerals, nutrients
and oxygen you need more easily.

 Read about Seleem. SB P. 14
Seleem is a healthy boy. He loves sports. He plays tennis,
football, and basketball. He eats healthy food like fruit, vegetables,
and rice. He doesn't eat a lot of chocolate because he knows that this
food isn't very healthy. In the evening, he wants to relax, so he reads
a book. “I do a lot of exercise because it's good for me,” says Seleem.
“Your heart is very important so you have to keep it healthy.” Seleem
is right. It's important to do exercise. He has a healthy family, too.
His sister Amira plays tennis and his sister Dina plays football. His
mom walks to work and his dad rides his bike, but they don't play
sports. His sisters like to listen to music to relax. It’s important for
our hearts to relax, too.

Waiting for the rain
It was another long, hot day in the grassland. Cub was with his
mother, and he lay in the sunshine. But his mother looked worried. “I
hope it rains soon,” she said. “Why do you want it to rain?” asked Cub.
“It's lovely and warm. We can play in the sunshine.” “If it doesn't
rain, the grass won't grow. Then we will be hungry,” she answered.
Cub started to laugh." What do you mean? We eat meat, not grass!"
He ran away to play with his brothers and sisters, but his mother
looked at the sky and worried.
Two weeks later, it was still hot, and the ground was hard. There
was no rain, and the plants were brown. Now, Cub had a strange
feeling in his stomach: hunger. “Can we catch a rabbit to eat?” he
asked his mother “I can’t find any rabbits,” she said sadly. “Some
rabbits have gone to other places. Some rabbits might be dead.”
“Why?” asked Cub. “Because there isn’t any rain". Without rain, the
grass can’t grow. If the grass doesn't grow, the rabbits don't have
any food.” “Then we don’t have any food!” answered Cub. Now he
understood. “What can we do?” “We must wait for rain. If it doesn't
rain, we must move to a different place.” “So let's go! We can’t stay
here without food!” said Cub, who was very worried now. His mother
smelled the air. She saw a thin gray cloud start to move through the
blue sky. “Let's wait one more day,” she said. Cub went to bed hungry,

30
but in the morning, he woke up to hear rain falling on the ground. He
ran outside with his brothers and sisters, and they played in the cool
water. Mother lion smiled, “Do you like the rain now. Cub?” she asked.
“Yes, I do! Now the grass will grow, the rabbits will come back, and
we won’t be hungry anymore!” said Cub, happily.
