A goal keeper is an important player in many games. Their job is to prevent the opposition from scoring a goal. They are part of many games including football (soccer), hockey and handball. They are generally dressed in a different strip from the rest of their team to ensure they are recognisible.

Many schools have set up Breakfast Clubs to ensure children get a balanced meal before they start their studies. It has been shown that you perform better and have higher levels of concentration if you have had a healthy breakfast.

The weekend consists of the two days Saturday and Sunday and is a time when there is no school and you can enjoy doing the things you like to do. It is a good opportunity to catch up with friends, play sports or just watch a film.

A paintbrush is a handheld implement that is used to apply paint to any paintable surface. They come in many different sizes. At school, brushes are used in art classes to paint pictures and models. These are generally quite small in size to allow for fine detail painting. Larger paintbrushes are used to paint the outside of houses and to decorate the inside of rooms.
8. Earth
Answer: Worm
Worms are segmented creatures with no arms or legs. They have bristles on their body to help them move through the soil in which they live. They are very important in the garden as they help to break down the soil and introduce oxygen which helps things to grow. If you accidentally cut an earthworm in half only one half will die - the other half will survive and continue to help out in the garden.
9. Gun
Answer: Powder
Gunpowder is an explosive substance that was invented by the Chinese. It is estimated it was invented around the 9th century and is a mixture of charcoal, saltpetre and sulphur. The Chinese alchemists were actually trying to find the secret of immortality when they discovered they had made gunpowder.
Not long after its discovery, engineers worked out that it could be used to create weapons. They also realised it could be used in fireworks to make beautiful displays for entertainment and celebration.
10. Grape
Answer: Fruit
Grapefruit is a juicy citrus fruit which is slightly sour. They are normally thin skinned and yellow but can also be pink or red (these are sweeter varieties). They are a very good source of vitamin C which is important for keeping healthy. They are generally eaten cut in half and scooped out with a spoon.
There is even a special grapefruit knife which has a curved serrated blade to make it easier to eat.
