each link in the chain is a valid word.

remember, each link must be a valid word!)

DID YOU KNOW?Every issue of your Primary Planet is packed full of facts and figures. Why not record the top 4 things that you learned from this issue. When you do, make sure to draw an illustration to go with each one. When you are finished, share and discuss your choices with your classmates. We have added our favourite one below. You’ll see I didn’t just copy it from the book, I wrote it out in my own words. Always a great idea when doing a project.

1. DID YOU KNOW?In March each year hundreds of millions of Hindus in India, Pakistan and Nepal take part in the two-day Holi festival. They march and dance on the streets and throw coloured powder called gulal at each other. Holi is a celebration of spring and the new colours the growing plants, shrubs, flowers and trees bring to the world.
