Can you learn it by heart? Wings

If I had wings, I would touch the fingertips of cloudsAnd glide on the wind’s breath

If I had wings, I would taste a chunk of the sunAs hot as peppery curry

If I had wings, I would listen to the clouds of sheep bleatThat graze on the blue

I f I had wings, I would breathe deepAnd sniff the scent of raindrops

If I had wings, I would gaze at the peopleWho cling to the earth

If I had wings, I would dream of swimming the deserts and walking the seas.

Geography If we had been at school this term, we would have done international week. Choose a country! Draw

an outline map of that country and label the following: capital city, other major cities, border countries or oceans / seas on the coast, important

physical features such as mountains, rivers or lakes. Use Google maps, Google Earth or Digimaps

to help you. Or even an Atlas if you have one!

Art Abroginal art (from native Australians) uses lots of dots to create an image. The artwork often tells the story of a journey, like a map.

Can you create your own ? Remember, use bright colours and NO LINES! ONLY DOTS!
