  Animals and the weather

Last week we looked at some farm animals. 

This week we will look at some more animals.

We will look at pets and animals that live in the wild.

Afterwards, we will take a look at the weather.

In Spring, the weather changes all the time.

One day it can be sunny and the next day it's raining.

So, let's start by looking at the animals... 

cat

horse

elephant

parrot

mosquito

Now, that was really easy, wasn't it! So now, I want you to watch a film about different kinds of animals. Ready?

What did you see in that video? Can you remember which animals are pets, domestic and wild animals? I think you can. Let's see...
What kind of animals are these in the picture?

1. Domestic
2. Sea
3. Pets
4. Wild

And these animals?

Can you tell me which kind of animals these are?

4. Wild

   But where do all of these animals live?

Did you know that some animals can even tell us what the weather is going to be like? You don't even have to be able to speak cow, dog or parrot language to understand. Interested? Then read on...

Frogs

If you are near some water with frogs in it, you sometimes hear them getting louder and louder. That means a storm is on the way, so get your umbrella ready and run home!

Birds

When the weather is nice and sunny, birds fly high in the sky. But when you see them flying low, that means bad weather is on its way. If you watch them carefully, you will see this happen just before it rains or even thunders!

Cows

Most of the time, when we look at fields filled with cows, we see them all standing or walking around. But when it’s going to rain, they quickly lie down to get a dry spot before they get really wet!

Bees and butterflies

We also think that bees and butterflies can tell when the weather is going to change. So when you look in the gardens and see there are no bees or butterflies, it probably means they have gone away to hide from the rain that is on its way.

What a lovely film! I hope you liked it!

In the film, we saw animals, we saw emotions and even the weather.

So now, we are going to take another look at the weather. There are lots of different kinds of weather as you know.
