the tiger’s body shape, making it difficult for their prey to see them. There is not very much light in
the forest but the tiger has very good hearing so it can hear other animals moving around.

Birds and their nests

Birds build a variety of different nests. Each type of bird builds a nest that suits its
own special needs.
Some birds fetch materials like twigs and grasses and drop them in a pile. Eagles and pelicans build nests
like this on a rock or on the ground.
Male weaver birds collect grasses that can bend easily. They carefully tie one end of the first piece of
grass onto a branch and then begin to weave the nest.
Swallows build a nest under a structure that will protect it. They collect lumps of mud and build a
nest, one lump at a time. Woodpeckers use their sharp beaks to dig out a space in a tree trunk. Then they
line it with soft feathers and plants.
Use the information from the article to complete the table. To help you, some blocks have been filled in
already.

Imagine that you are an astronaut. You will be leaving soon on your first journey to the Moon. You are
travelling in a small space capsule that will be launched on top of a rocket. Your family are a little worried
about you. They are not sure that this is safe. They have seen fire and smoke coming out of the bottom of
rockets when they are launched. Write a short letter to a member of your family to explain to them how a
rocket works. Draw a picture and use notes and labels to help them to understand.
