Are you a good detective? The Vocabulary Constabulary needs your help. This is all you have to do. You can often detect the meaning of a word by reading it in context, that is, by reading the other words around it
in a piece of text. Find the page and the article in TPP and then detect the word or phrase that solves the clue to its meaning. The number of letters and the starting letter of the solution are in brackets after each clue.

Editing- a vital skil!

have been omitted and five full stops have also been left out.
This article first appeared in Planet History in the December 2016 edition of The Primary Planet.
A Farmer’s December Diary
Friday morning;
It’s freezing hard and the surrounding countryside is ever so silent A solitary car travelling
slowly on the slipery road momentarily splits the silence. it reminds me that I’m not the only
one up at this hour.
I turn on the lights and hear the groans of the cows rousing from their slumbur. ‘you have it
tough ladies,’ I think to myself wryly. I spread the silage in front of the bariers and they all
pop their heads out eagerly, but only after the “herd-leader” has taken her spot at the barrier
first.
i give their cubacles a clean down with the yard brush. I then quickly check that the drinkers
are clean and working As I depart the shed the first rays of light are starting to peep through
the night’s veil.
Saturday;
I wake up and I am filled with dread. It’s time to put the cows in for winter, which means a
hectic day lyes in store Not only that, but every day for the coming months will be centered
round feeding and calving. I spend the morning doing the usual, but important, pre-winter
checks and repairs for safe and productive farming
Sunday;
I empty the paddocks one by one and start to fill the shed. I have enlisted help for this, as I
like to seperate the cattle according to weight and time of calving. after months of the great
outdoors, some cattle can be reluctent to be housed. I like having another adult with me to
ensure safety.
The last batch of cattle is brought from an outlying farm. I am most nervus about these as
they have to be brought on the trailer A slip in the trailer or sudden braking can cause an in-
calf cow to lose her calf. fingers crossed there will be no ill-effects of the 10km jurney, but
only time will tell.

Did you know … about Polaris?
Polaris is the correct name for the North Star. When you are looking at Polaris you are facing north. It is easy then, to find south, east and west. Long ago, sailors used Polaris to keep track of the direction they were sailing at night. The plough is a group of stars in the shape of a plough. If you find the plough, you can use the two stars farthest from the handle to show you where Polaris is.

Planes moving at a constant air speed, go faster in the West-East direction when they are moving with the wind than in the opposite direction.
