How Milk Gets to the Shop
A dairy cow is milked twice a day, in the morning and the evening.
The milk goes straight into a cold tank. Cold milk keeps fresh much longer than warm milk.
A tanker takes the milk to a dairy. There it is heated for a few seconds to kill germs, then cooled again fast. This is called pasteurising.
Last, the milk is poured into bottles and driven to the shop.

What Roots Do
Roots grow down while the stem grows up. They do two jobs.
First, roots hold the plant in the ground. A tall tree in a storm stays up because its roots spread wide under the soil.
Second, roots drink. Tiny hairs on the roots take in water from the soil. The water travels up the stem to the leaves.
A plant with damaged roots wilts, even if it is watered.

Questions about Picture and Caption
What does the Picture and Caption worksheet cover?
It practises making a picture and its words agree — 2 questions for Grade 1, all on Common Core SL.1.5: Add a drawing when it would make your idea clearer. The instruction to pupils is “Read the text, then answer the questions”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
Which Common Core standard does Picture and Caption practise?
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.1.5 — SL.1.5, in the Speaking & Listening domain for Grade 1. The published standard reads: “Add drawings or other visual displays to descriptions when appropriate to clarify ideas, thoughts, and feelings.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
What age or grade is this worksheet for?
Picture and Caption is written for Grade 1, typically ages 6-7. It is one of the sheets on SL.1.5, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Does Picture and Caption come with an answer key?
Yes. All 2 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
How many different versions of Picture and Caption can I print?
25 versions, of which 22 ask genuinely different questions — this skill does not have 25 distinct questions to give, so the rest reorder them and no two pupils still share a paper. Set 1 downloads all 25 as one PDF.
Is Picture and Caption free to print and photocopy?
Yes. Picture and Caption, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
