Summertime

What does summertime mean to you? This is what summertime means to me.
Time off school, long sunny nights.
Playing in the paddling pool,
squealing with delight!
Trips to the beach with my bucket and spade,
building large sandcastles,
reading in the shade.
Watching the busy, buzzing bees fly
around beautiful flowers
and across the sky.
Picnics in the park and eating ice cream.
Shades and sun cream on
as the golden rays beam.
There are always some days where there is rain
but I’m spending time with my family
so I really can’t complain.

Question 1: Name 1 thing that the person did on the beach.

Question 2: Find and copy 2 words that rhyme.

Question 3: Why do you think the person in the poem
has put their shades and sun cream on?

Question 4: Predict another activity that you could do
when the sun is shining.
