Chapter overview
Clouds change shape, so the same sky can suggest a bear, ship, elephant or a completely new picture. There is no single correct imaginative answer.
What students will learn
This original study companion develops imagination, observation, sky vocabulary, colours, rhyme and creative description. It supports understanding and practice without reproducing textbook passages or artwork.
