Hello, boys and girls. Do you remember me?
I am Mermaid,
the most beautiful mermaid in the ocean.
Today we are going to talk about summer.
Do you like summer?
-Excuse me, Mermaid,
you are presenting the program without me.
-Oh, yes. I'm so sorry.
It's just I'm so happy we're talking about summer.
I love summer.
-Of course, you do.
So, shall we tell the children at home about summer?
-Yes, let's do it!
-So, what's the weather like in summer, Mermaid?
-I think it's wet.
-Yes, it is wet under the sea,
but you know what the weather's like in summer?
Is it hot, cold,
snowy, rainy?
That's right. It's hot.
And the water is warmer too, isn't it, Mermaid?
-Yes, it is.
The water is really warm
and I love it when children play in the ocean.
You can dive,
but remember,
stay near the shore because you are not mermaids.
-Katherine, what happens with plants in summer?
-Good question, Mermaid.
Let's ask the children at home.
Do you know what happens with plants in summer?
Small plants grow from seeds?
Their leaves fall?
Or they grow fruits?
-I think they grow fruits.
-Well done, Mermaid. You are right.
In summer we can eat delicious fruit like apricots,
peaches and watermelon.
-I love watermelon!
And what about colours? What are the colours of summer?
-Well, in summer, many plants go yellow,
but the fruits have beautiful colours.
Red, yellow, orange and,
of course, the ocean is blue.
And there are beautiful colours under the sea.
Aren't they, Mermaid?
-Oh, yes!
Wow!
Look at all the beautiful fish and coral.
So colourful!
What a wonderful swim.
-You're back!
I love swimming in the ocean too
when I go to the beach on holiday in summer.
-Katherine, what do you take when you go to the beach?
-Good question, Mermaid.
What do you think I take to the beach?
Do I take a coat,
a beach umbrella
or roller skates?
-I think you take a beach umbrella.
-That's right, Mermaid.
I take a beach umbrella
because I can't wear a coat on the beach
and I can't roll a skate on the sand,
but it's very important to take a beach umbrella
to protect me from the sun, my skin and my head.
And also, we have to remember
to put on sunscreen.
-It's important to drink a lot of water
in the summer.
When you're hot,
you need to drink water to lower your body temperature.
-Well, that's easy.
In the sea, we are surrounded by water.
-But can you drink seawater?
No, it's salty!
You need to drink fresh water or mineral water.
-Look, there's some more things I take with me to the beach.
I take my sunglassses,
a towel,
a beach ball
and a fan.
-Katherine, what are those?
-Oh, right. This is an ice cream.
-What's an ice cream?
-Have you never tried an ice cream?
Would you like to? -Yes, please!
-So, what have we learnt today?
Remember, there are four seasons:
spring, summer, autumn and winter.
-Yes, summer is the second season
and the weather is hot.
-Yes, and in summer plants grow fruits.
-And under the sea the coral
and the fish are so colourful.
So we've learnt a lot of things about summer today.
-Yes, and I love it.
Can I have an ice cream?
-Yes, of course,
but only if you promise to drink a lot of water too.
-Yes!
-See you next time, everybody. Bye!
