In My Garden

Poornima Chander

I am going to the garden. It is time to water the plants.

There is a bed of flowers. Such bright and beautiful colours.

There is an army of caterpillars.
They look just like the grass!

There is a row of pebbles. They seem to form a spiral.

There is an autumn of leaves scattered around.
I hear them rustling in the wind.

Cheep! Cheep!
I look up and see a flock of birds.

Suddenly, a blanket
of grey clouds forms in the sky.
It looks like it’s about to rain.

It is time to go indoors again!

A Collection of Patterns
Groups of things form patterns. From the patterns on the leaves to the patterns formed by the colourful flowers, there is so much that can be discovered when we look closely.
The bed of flowers interchange between groups of three and four.
The army of caterpillars is in a zigzag line.
The row of pebbles forms a spiral.
The autumn of leaves appears in a repeating pattern.
The flock of birds forms a V-shaped pattern.
The blanket of clouds appears in horizontal lines.
