All around you.
The Sun.
The Sun looks like a big bright ball. It shines on our world and helps us to see everything around us. In the morning the sun is in the east. At first it is low in the sky and then it rises higher and higher. At noon the sun is in the east. At noon the sun is in the south. In the evening it is in the west.
The sun shines all the time, but it can shine only on one side of the earth. When the sun shines on one side of the earth, it is day there. When it shines on the other side of the earth, it is night where you are. At night we do not see the sun, but in the morning it rises again and lights us and warms us.
The earth turns round the sun in twelve months, or three hundred and sixty – five days. Three hundred and sixty – five days make a year.
The Glad Sun
The glad sun goes across the sky,
At night it drops down in the west,
And suddenly the dark comes out,
And all the children go to rest.
Oh, sun, I’m glad you know the way
To bring us back the pleasant day.
When the sun shines, it’s not.
When the wind blows, it’s not so hot.
The Moon
The sun does not shine at night, and then we have the moon. But on some nights we do not see the moon at all. When it first shows itself, it is like a fine sickle. This sickle becomes larger and larger every evening till it is in the form of a bow. Then the moon is seven days or a week old.
The next seven days it becomes larger and larger till it is round. Then we say it is the full moon, and it is fourteen days old. The next seven days the moon becomes smaller and smaller till it takes the form of a bow again. It is then three weeks old.
For the next seven days the moon becomes smaller and smaller again till we do not see it at all. So the moon moves round the earth in twenty-eight days.
The New Moon
Through my window I can see
The young new moon above the tree,
Slender, fine, silver bright,
In the cold and frosty night.
First new moon of this new year,
Thin and small, but crystal clear,
In the west it seems to float,
Like a narrow silver boat.
The Blue Sky, the Rainbow and the Clouds
Very often you see clouds in the sky. Sometimes clouds look, like cotton and sometimes they look like grey smoke. Why it is so?
We must know that clouds are made of millions of rain – drops or bits of ice, so small and light that they float in the air like little balloons. All these rain – drops or ice – drops make a cloud. Even when the sky looks grey with these clouds, the sun is still there above the grey rain – drops. On fine days when there are no clouds in the sky, it looks very blue.
Sunlight has many colours. Some of these colours we can see better than others. Sometimes when the sun shines through millions of rain – drops which are in the air, we see all the colours of the sunlight – red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet – in a beautiful bridge across the sky. We call that a rainbow.
The Clouds
White sheep, white sheep,
On a blue hill.
When the wind stops,
You stand still.
You walk far away,
When the winds blow:
White sheep, white sheep,
Where do you go?
The Rainbow and the Sun
One day in June there is a beautiful rainbow in the sky. It is a rainy day, but the sun shines. The boys and girls say, «Look at the beautiful rainbow».
The rainbow is very proud. It says to the clouds, «Dull things!». And to the sun, «You are not so beautiful as I am. You shine, but you have only one colour. Look at my colours!»
«I like your colours, pretty rainbow!» says the sun with a smile.
Then the sun goes away behind the clouds. At once the rainbow goes out of sight. The rainbow does not know that it gets its colours from the sun. there can be no rainbow without the sun.
The Rainbow
Boats sail on the river,
And ships sail on the seas,
But clouds that sail across the sky
Are far prettier than these.
There are bridges on the rivers,
As pretty as you please;
But the bow that bridges heaven,
And overtops the trees,
And builds a road from earth to sky,
It far prettier than these.
Which Way Does the Wind Blow?
Which way does the wind blow.
And where does he go?
He runs over the water,
He runs over the snow.
From what place he comes,
To what place he goes,
There’s no one can tell you,
There’s no one can tell you,
There’s no one who knows.
Fog, Rain, Hail, Snow and Ice
Sometimes the clouds are very low, so low that they lie on the ground, the trees, the plants, the grass. We call that fog.
When the little drops of water that make clouds or fog are near each other, they make bigger drops. These drops are heavy. They cannot float in the air, so they fall down. And that is rain.
When the air is very cold, the rain – drops freeze. They freeze into hard little balls. We call that hail.
But in winter the water freezes in the clouds, and then falls in little flakes. That is snow. Millions and millions of snowflakes come down. They are white, cold and soft.
And what is ice? It is cold and hard. If it is very thin, you can see through it. If it is thick, it is very strong. The ice is so strong that you can skate on it. But do you know what ice is? It is water. If you put ice in a warm place it will melt and you can see that it is only frozen water.
Snow
The snowflakes are falling
By ones and by twos,
There is snow on my coat
And snow on my shoes.
There is snow on the plants
And snow on the trees,
And snowflakes all round me
Like many white bees.
On the Ice
Slide, slide, the ice is strong,
Quickly, quickly slide along!
Slide along and don’t be slow,
In the cold your face will glow!
Slide along, slide very fast,
It’s a shame to be the last.
Riddles
Here are some riddles. Try and guess.
Higher than a house,
Higher than a tree.
Oh! What ever can that be? (A cloud)
We are very large though we seem small,
We float on high and never fall,
We shine like jewels in the night,
But in the day are hid from sight.
What are we? (The stars)
What falls, but never rises? (Rain)
Two bright sisters are always and never meet. (The sun and the moon)
Rivers and Seas
let us have a look at a river. You see it is full of water. But ponds and pools are full of water too.
Now, what is the difference between a river and a pool? Can anybody tell me? The difference is this. The water in a pool or pond stands still. But the water in a river running water. It never stops and the river does not run dry. But sometimes there is much water in them, and sometimes very little. When is it? Rivers have very much water in hot weather:
Where do rivers flow?
All rivers flow into the sea, or ocean. The sea is lower than the land. All rivers run to the sea and carry their waters into it. Sea – water is salty. The salt is from the earth. Springs and rivers carry it to the sea. When the sun draws up the water from the sea, the salt remains in the sea.
Then the water becomes clouds. Soon it falls as rain, and gets into the rivers again. So the sea is getting saltier and saltier.
