Imagine you are a bird travelling the world. Write a short postcard or note about what you see and what helps you on your journey (wind, ocean currents, warm weather). Share it with your classmates.
Dear Friends, I am flying from cold Russia to warm India.
I see beautiful mountains, rivers, and forests below me.
The wind helps me fly faster, and warm air currents lift me higher. I follow rivers to find water and rest in trees at night.
The warm weather in India will give me food and shelter. I eat grasshoppers and locusts along the way.
Nature takes care of me on my long journey!
Explanation
The chapter explains that rosy starlings travel thousands of kilometres and are helped by wind, ocean currents, and warm weather. They feed on locusts and grasshoppers during their journey. This creative activity helps students understand migration from the bird's perspective and the natural elements that support their journey.
