KS2 Culture/Geography Solstice

An activity sheet with facts about places around the world on the June solstice plus space to draw what your solstice looks like? Or for children to imagine what the solstice is like around the world. Includes prompts to get children thinking. The activity sheet is based on the book Solstice: Around the World on the Longest, Shortest Day by Jen Breach and 14 global artists. Here’s more about the book: It’s June and sunshine time, but it’s also time for snowmen. How could that be? The June solstice is the longest day of the year in the north, but down south, it’s the shortest! Imagine Earth tilting like a seesaw, with the North Pole leaning towards the sun. This brings more sunshine to the north, while the south gets less. In this book, you will join 14 fictional children in 14 real places from Antarctica to Stonehenge as they experience the June solstice. For some, it is a special day full of music, dancing, food and fun – whilst others go about their normal day. Just open the book to begin your round-the-world solstice tour!

Karen Romano Young, author of Antarctica: The Melting Continent, again takes to the field, visiting the archipelago to observe its environments first-hand and to interview the people who are lighting the way for the rest of us. Illustrator Amy Grimes brings Karen’s experience into vivid visual life for those of us who haven’t been there – yet.
