Summer or Winter Olympic Sports?
Dear kids,
Practise saying these Summer and Winter Olympic sports we’ve been studying so far. Also try the wordsearches below. For more info on the different Olympic disciplines, please click here.
The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part.
What is a star?
A star is a big ball of gas. It is not star-shaped. Stars give off heat and light.
Stars are born in nebulas. Nebulas are clouds in space. They are made of gases and dust.
A star’s colour tells us how hot or cold it is. The bluish stars are the hottest ones. The reddish stars are the coolest. But they are still very hot!
