Kinah is waiting on the beach. After some time, she sees the outline of a
turtle in the dark. It is moving slowly out of the water. The turtle is looking
for a place to lay her eggs.
Kinah is very excited to see the turtle. Her parents are watting near
her. but she knows she cannot shout out to them. loud noise and bright
lights will dislurb a nesting turtle. She
points out the turtle to her father. He nods
his head. They watch the turtle from a
distance. It storts to dig a hole with tts
flippers. When the hole is big and deep
enough. the turtle starts to lay eggs. After
that, tt covers the hole with sand again.
Then, it crawls back into the sea. Kinah's
father and mother dig into the sand. At
last. they reach the eggs. Kinah helps them to take the eggs aut from the
nest and put them into a pail carefully. Then, they immediately take the
eggs to the turtle hatchery nearby.
They help the hatchery officer bury the eggs in 0 new hole in the
hatchery. The officer marks the sand clearly with a sign. After the eggs
hatch. Kinah will help to take the hatchlings out to the beach and release
them. She hopes the hatchlings will survive and come bock one day. Her
family helps with the turtle conservation programme every year.
Answer these questions.

Venus is the second planet from

Mercury and Earth. Venus and
Earth are almost the some size.
II is the closest planet to Earth.
However. it does not have seas
or living things.
The weather on Venus is very
different from ours. The thick
clouds over Venus keep the heat
in. The temperature during the day
is so hot that even metal can melt.
The surface of Venus is covered in
dried lava from old volcanoes. These volcanoes are not active anymore.
Venus is special because it spins slowly and in an opposite direction
from the other planets. The douds on Venus also reflect sunlight. That is
why Venus looks so bright from Earth.

Ants live in large groups called colonies. Each colony consists of three
types of ants. They are the queen, the workers, and the moles.
The queen and the males hove wings. while the workers do not.
Usually, a colony consists of only one queen ant. The queen is the only
ant that can loy eggs. The queen is also the largest ant in the colony.
The workers have different duties to perform in the colony. Some toke
core of eggs. Some toke care of newly hatched ants called larvae. Some
gather food and keep their home clean.
Ants use their antennae to find food and to find their way back
home. Ants are omnivorous. They eat both meat and plants.
Some worker ants are given the duty of soldier to protect the queen.
defend the colony. and even attack enemy colonies for food and
nesting space. These soldier ants are normally bigger than the rest of
the workers. They also have bigger and stronger mandibles.
