The Gardener (Story time)

Lydia Grace Finch brings a suitcase full of seeds to the big gray city, where she goes to stay with her Uncle Jim, a cantankerous baker. There she initiates a gradual transformation, bit by bit brightening the shop and bringing smiles to customers' faces with the flowers she grows. But it is in a secret place that Lydia Grace works on her masterpiece -- an ambitious rooftop garden -- which she hopes will make even Uncle Jim smile.

The Expert Glider

Dear sweeties,

I hope you learnt something out from the story 'The Expert Glider'.

The flying lemur, flying lizard, flying frog and flying fish are examples of animals that glide.

These animals glide witht he help of membrane foudn on their bodies. They do so to avoid predators, to chase prey or to travel more efficiently from place to place.

Flying fish can glide for long distances. They do so by swimming very fast, then breaking the surface of the sea and gliding on outstretched fins.

The flying frog has membranes that are only found between the toes of his four limbs.

Vocabularly :

clumsy: not able to move easily or carefully

wrinkled : full of lines

membrane: skin-like layer

limbs: legs or arms

expert: knowing a lot about something
