keep cool this summer
Be inspired by your surroundings and make this beautiful fan to keep you cool during those long sunny afternoons in the garden.
What you need: a piece of paper about 1m by 20 cm, two wide lollipop sticks, PVA glue, sticky tape and coloured pens/pencils to decorate.
Look around you and choose a theme for your design – maybe flowers, birds or even butterflies! Now decorate the paper by drawing all your ideas. You could also include words.
Pleat the paper into folds about 1.5 cm wide. Glue a lollipop stick onto each end of the paper. The lollipop stick should stick out about 2 cm above the top of the paper. Tape the bottom of the fan together.
To open your fan, bring the lollipop sticks all the way round so that they meet. Now you will be able to keep yourself cool when the sun comes out!
worms SPLASH!!
This game is best played outdoors on a warm sunny day, when clothes don’t really matter! It’ll work well if everyone who takes part is a good sport. With suspicion and shock, it’s great fun...
You will need: number cards (e.g. six people playing the game = six cards numbered 1 to 6), a plastic tumbler and a large bucket of warm water.
How to play: Choose one player to be the splasher. He picks a number without letting anyone else see it. He then fills up the small container with water, and stands in the centre of the other players, who form a circle around him. The splasher faces each person in turn, and the outside players take turns to shout out a number between one and six.When an outside player shouts the splasher’s chosen number, the splasher throws the cup of water at them!! SPLASH!!!

are responsible for a lot of things that make our soil good enough to grow healthy plants, which in turn provide us with food. Worms help to increase the amount of air and water that gets into the soil. They break down materials like leaves and grass into things that plants can use. The worms help to turn the soil, bringing down organic matter from the top and mixing it with the soil below. Having worms around in your garden is a good sign that you have healthy soil. If you want to learn more about a worm’s importance in our environment, you can buy worm farm kits, which allow you to see into the wonderful world of worms usually hidden underground!
