Moon
Up in the sky
In the dark misty night
Above your height
You will find a moon that shines
It seems as white as milk
And as smooth as silk
Sometimes half and sometimes crescent
Sometimes up and sometimes down
The craters are the holes
Which are formed by big stones
It moves and it halts
No matter what Falls
No air no Fair
And no bit of atmosphere
It moves every year half inches away
As the astronomers say

Tricolour Kite
Let’s make a tricolour kite!
You will need: Kite papers (orange, white and green), thread, broomsticks, scale, glue, scissors and pencil.
1. Fold the white kite paper in half. Draw a triangle on it as shown. Cut it and open it out.
2. Divide the cutout into three equal parts as shown.
3. Cut a triangle from the orange kite paper of the same size as the one on the white paper and stick over it.
4. Similarly, cut a triangle from the green kite paper and stick it over the triangle at the bottom.
5. Your kite will now look like the Indian flag, but without the chakra in the center.
6. Turn your kite over and glue a broomstick across the center as shown. Cut the broomstick to fit the length of the kite.
7. Slightly bend the second broomstick as shown.
8. Glue it horizontally across the kite as shown.
9. Make thin strips from orange, white and green kite papers.
10. Bunch the strips together and glue them to both sides of the kite.
11. Glue a thread to the bottom tip of the kite.
12. Cut out bow-shaped bits from orange, white and green kite papers.
13. Glue them along the thread in the order of the tricolour.
14. To fly the kite, tie one end of a spool of thread to the joints of the kite’s frame.
Your kite is now ready to fly!
