Literacy—Lesson 1 Explanations

Task 1: Read the information below.

How birds fly

Today we are going to focus on three things that tell us how birds fly.

1. Flapping

When a bird flaps it’s wings the bird pushes down against the air and so

pushes the birds upwards. The harder the wings flap the higher the bird

pushes upwards.

2. Gliding

When birds glide they move forward through the air with their wings tilted

at an angle. The air pushes against the wing and pushes the bird up.

That’s why sometimes birds fly without flapping their wings at all.

3. Steering

Birds change the angle and shape of their wings and their tails which

changes the way the air pushes against them. This way the birds can

move up or down or side to side.

Look out of your window. Can you spot any birds flying?


You can use the information sheet to help you complete this task.

First write the title — remember what we are trying to explain today.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

For each word draw a diagram or picture to explain what it means.

flap, glide, steer

Here is an example

Add arrows between your 3 pictures?

Can you think of an action for the different ways that birds fly?

1. 2. 3.


Read the information sheet from lesson 1 before you start your work today.

Are these statements true or false?

Birds fly by flapping, gliding and wiggling.

Birds push against the wind with their wings.

Birds can fly without flapping their wings.

Birds cannot change the shape of their wings.

If you answered false to any of the questions can you explain why it is

false?

Look at this story map below which explains how birds fly. Use the story

map to explain what happens in each stage. Here is an example. Remember

to speak in sentences.

How birds fly

Birds start flying by flapping their wings. Their wings push down on the

air.


Additional task

We are going to complete a flowchart to explain each stage.

What is cause and effect?

A cause and effect relationship is when something happens that makes

something else happen. Have a look at this table. Try to think about the

effect of each one. For example, rain — if it rains a lot it could cause a

flood.

Fill in the table thinking about cause and effect.

Reread the information sheet from lesson 1. This will help you today.

Look at this table showing cause and effect.

Write a sentence to explain the effect of birds flapping their wings.
