4.Tick or cross to show if the statements below are true or false:

Science – Seasonal Change

It is now Summer.

In Summer the weather is usually warmer, the sun rises earlier and stays up later, the flowers are all in full bloom and the trees are full of leaves.

Next time you go for a walk look for signs of Summer.

Draw a picture of yourself on a Summer's day and write a sentence underneath to tell us about it.

Topic –To understand why particular animals live in polar habitats.

The penguin from our comprehension book ‘Lost and Found’ was from the South Pole. Do you know why penguins live there and not somewhere sunny?

Penguins live in the South Pole because the cold water has more of the fish they like to eat in it than warmer water. The cold does not bother the penguins as their bodies have layers of fat called blubber to help keep them warm (they also like to huddle up to each other to keep warm too.)

Think about the penguin on the little boys doorstep-can you write a letter as if you were the penguin asking the little boy to take him home? Try to use some of the information I gave you above in your letter.

Extra Challenge!

The Lowry are asking Salford residents to share their creative responses to the lockdown – these could be poems, stories, videos, photos or art works which reflect your experiences.

These works will be shared online from 1st July until The Lowry re-opens and then they will be displayed in the gallery.

Submissions should be sent to: dayslikethese@thelowry.com
