V. Bianchi "Sinichkin calendar": a summary for the reader's diary

The children will recognize the name Vitali Bianchi along with his wonderful stories about nature. And one of the best works of this subject can rightfully be called the “Sinichkin calendar”. A brief summary for the reader's diary will help to understand why children like this book and how it can be used for educational and cognitive purposes.

Meet the protagonists

Reading or listening to the work of Bianchi, little readers go on a journey through the forest, field, city with the young titmouse Zinka. Much is new to her, including the change of months and seasons. But Zinka has a good and wise acquaintance - an old sparrow. She meets him at the very beginning - in the summary of the story “The Sinichkin Calendar” there is no way to fully convey their dialogue - and meets every time when something in the world around her becomes incomprehensible to her. It is thanks to the sparrow that Zinka, and with it the readers, learns what every month is called and what causes the changes taking place in nature.

Winter

For a curious titmouse, a fascinating adventure begins on the first night of the new year, when she was awakened by strong screams of people and an abundance of bright light. In the morning, fun was also observed among the birds. It turned out that everyone was celebrating the beginning of the New Year, and with it the return of the sun and the calendar. Zinka did not manage to remember the names of the months. Then the old sparrow invited her to fly everywhere and watch, but when he hears that the month is ending, return to him.

In the brief content of the “Sinichka’s calendar” for the reader’s diary, it can be noted that in January she noticed how the frost is getting stronger, and in February she was surprised to find that a bright snowstorm, frightening and dangerous, can replace the bright sun. You cannot recognize nature after it: everything around is covered with snow and the branches on the trees are broken. The titmouse also made new acquaintances: a mouse-vole, who talked about the den with a dipper, and a white hare, scared of everything around.

Spring

In the spring, the old sparrow advised Zinka to meet in the field. What's new for the titmouse has been discovered, it will become known from the next part of the summary of the Titmouse Calendar.

In the reader's diary, it should be noted that in March, Zinka rescued partridges, buried under melted snow, from disaster. At night, the frost hit, and the snow covered with an ice crust, which the attentive Zinka broke.

Just saw Zinka rooks, and the old sparrow already sends her to the river - to meet April. It was interesting to observe both the ice drift and the bustle of water birds.

In May, Zinka returned to the forest, where she witnessed a fun holiday and saw cranes for the first time. Even these venerable birds started dancing.

Summer

The summer months are surprisingly described in Bianchi’s book “The Sinichkin Calendar” (a brief summary will not exactly replace the full text).

In June, partridges refused to communicate with Zinka - the sparrow said that the birds chicks are hatched, that is, they do not let anyone into their house. And the white hare suddenly turned gray.

In July, Zinka wanted to get a home, but could not find a free place, and therefore she was pleased to watch the kids pick berries.

In August, everyone was friendly again, and they began to make supplies for the winter.

Autumn

September brought new discoveries: unfamiliar migratory birds stopped on the river for rest, and cobwebs appeared in the air. And Zinka saw how the hunter knocked out a partridge, and met a bird like her. It turned out to be Zinziver, and then they began to live together.

In October, the forest threw off its gold outfit and emptied it. In November, the first snow fell, the river covered with ice and it became very cold. And also a terrible invisibility appeared in the forest, which killed birds and animals.

December

Zinka, along with her friend Zinziver, flew to the city, where she settled in a warm hollow - she was hanged on a tree by a hunter with her daughter, whom the bird saw in the forest and in the field in the summer. A little later, the hunter brought from the forest a large white owl, which in the autumn inspired fear in all forest inhabitants.

Finally, the New Year has come again, and Zinka already knew that the sun and warmth would return with him - that’s how you can end the summary of the Sinichka’s calendar. For the reader's diary, this information will be quite enough ..
