Poems about summer for children

June-growing

Dawn meets dawn,

And in the field the rye sways,

And the grass is all covered in dew -

They dream of a braid.

And the sky is a rainbow ribbon

Rinses in the Volga, Ladoga.

We're jumping over the ground

On a black cloud

And we see under the birches

Father and mother with braids.

We're taking it to father and mother

Sour cream and pancakes.

M. Sukhorukova

June

June came, June, June.

Birds are chirping in the garden,

Just blow on a dandelion -

And it will all fly apart.

S. Marshak

Beyond the outskirts

Beyond our outskirts

It's warm in the sun.

Green plantain

The road was covered in snow.

And along the edges of the road,

Along the river bank,

Chamomiles with cornflowers

They run in a race.

V. Lisichkin

Bee

Work for a small bee

Not at all lazy.

From flower to flower

Flying every day.

For many kilometers

The path goes from home

But a smart little bee

He will always find his home.

Collects bit by bit

Floral scent,

And the honey will become fragrant,

Which I am very happy about!

N. Migunova

June

Bells, daisies,

Forget-me-nots, cornflowers.

Barefoot and shirtless

We walk around and weave wreaths.

V. Berestov

If I pick a flower,

If you pick a flower,

If everything: both me and you,

If we pick flowers, -

All the clearings will be empty

And there will be no beauty!

T. Sobakina

On the lawn by the stump

We found a beetle in the grass.

The beetle is big and mustachioed,

Sing us a song.

The beetle took flight

Sounded like an airplane:

“Zhu-zhu-zhu, zhu-zhu-zhu,

Goodbye, I'm in a hurry."

E. Trutneva

Morning

Morning is a time of cleanliness.

It's important for cats to lick.

Swifts clean their feathers.

Hedgehogs wash their faces.

And only one pig

He won't wash himself when he wakes up.

I woke up a little - I immediately eat,

He will dive into the trough up to his eyebrows -

So the face is washed.

Morning in the early hours

Everywhere in the early hours

Sewed the country morning

To all the blades of grass from the dew

The dress is transparent.

I. Demyanov

Why are watering cans bored?

In the garden by the bench

Watering cans get bored all day long.

The sky is very cloudy

That's why it's boring.

G. Lagzdyn

Summer evening

Everything is visible from my window:

The yard and the garden, and the pine trees beyond the meadow,

The sun is leaving little by little,

Waving an orange handkerchief at me.

Dad will say:

Makes the child sleepy.

What are you talking about, dad, it’s not time for me to sleep.

I just sat on the windowsill in the evening,

And the smell of flowers comes from the yard.

V. Prikhodko

Clouds

Clouds raced in the sky, staring into the sky.

In one there is thunder, in the other there is hail,

In the third - lightning is burning,

And in the fourth cloud, a mighty rain cloud,

An accordion is folded, a path in seven colors!

G. Lagzdyn

Thunder with a bucket

There is thunder with a bucket cloud.

Brings streams of rain and dewdrops.

Frogs set up

Sounding mugs.

Filled with daisies

Porcelain cups.

The herons drank

The last drops....

And at the very bottom -

N. Maznyak

White swans

White swans live in the sky,

Swans swim smoothly along it.

White feathers curl slightly,

Hello cloud swans!

L. Kudryavskaya

Clouds

Oh, what a cloud

The cloud is deep

White, distant,

Right above me.

Oh, what a cloud

The cloud is high

The cloud is distant

Can't reach with your hand.

Will swim and hide

In the field outside the outskirts,

He will wash himself in the lake

Fresh water.

V. Stepanov

Strawberries

On a thawed forest patch

Strawberry under a pine tree.

Small strawberry

Bloomed well in spring.

Bees sat on it

The cockchafer flew over her,

Her neighbor is cheerful -

Spring among the stones.

The sun was warm for many days

Lush bush near the stones.

Strawberry was becoming

Everything is nicer and bigger.

She blushed on every side,

Filled with fragrant juice.

E. Trutneva

Multi-colored globe

If they bloomed in the field

Only white flowers

I'd be tired of admiring

They will soon be you and me.

If they bloomed in the field

Only yellow flowers

You and I would get bored

From such beauty.

It's good that there are daisies

Roses, asters, cornflowers,

Dandelions and porridges,

Forget-me-nots and frying!

It's good that they are different

People with eye and skin color.

How beautiful the colorful world is,

Multi-colored globe!

A. Shlygin

Lying, sitting, half-sitting,

Standing and crawling

In crowded but not mad

Friends met:

Moss, nut, whiny bastard,

Acorn, beetle, twig,

Two dewdrops, an aspen leaf,

Scarlet like a badge

And an orange saffron milk cap -

Sign of rainy days -

I've burned a place here

With its redness.

While preaching the Gospel, he endured many persecutions and sorrows from the pagans, but died peacefully. On May 14, when sowing began, the people celebrated the day of Eremey Zapashnik, and on June 13, when sowing ended, the day of Eremey Zapashnik began. So they said: “Eremey begins sowing, Eremey finishes”; “Unharness - sow the edge, unharness the horse.” It was customary to listen to the cuckoo: if it cuckoos often and loudly, the weather will be good. However, by the time the cuckoo crowed, all the seeds had to be sown, otherwise they had to wait for a bad year. They also paid attention to the weather: rain that day foreshadowed a poor harvest.

And June is also a songful and fertile month, grain-growing and hoarding, grain-bearing, it accumulates harvest for the whole year, enriches our home.

In the old days, the indigenous Russian names were Izok and Cherven. Izokom was the name given to the grasshopper, an insect that was abundant in June. Cheven from the word worm, worm. At this time many worms appear. June is often called Kresnik from the word kresa - fire, fire, which is lit on the night of Ivan Kupala.

June has the shortest, “passerine” nights. Day length 17 hours 33 minutes. This is the longest daylight hours of the year. From June 1 to the 25th are the lightest nights. From June 22 the day begins to decrease. The average air temperature is about +16 C.
Frosts are possible from June 1 to June 12. Almost every year at this time there is a significant cooling.
There are subseasons of June:
June 1-10 - Predletye.
June 11-30 - Beginning of summer.

People consider the 6th to be the beginning of June - the beginning of rosehip flowering.
The phenological calendar considers June from the 13th - the time of flowering of viburnum.
Astronomical June begins on June 21 or 22 (in case of a leap year), the solstice day. From June 1 to the 21st, the Sun is in the sign of Taurus according to the astronomical calendar. And then it moves to the constellation Gemini.

The lilacs are fading, which means summer is beginning. On June 21, the first month of summer begins in the forest - “Nest Month” - the time of hatching of chicks. While the quail sits in the nest, her friend fights in competitions. Sparrows, quails, and wood pigeons hatch their chicks for the second time. It's time to moult in raptors and birds, waterfowl and songbirds.

Gardeners and gardeners have their own concerns:
The 1st decade of June is the last time for sowing seeds of cucumbers, beans, beans, zucchini, corn, and pumpkin into the soil. “Father June grows everything that is put in mother earth.” Transplanting.
2nd decade - watering fruit-bearing trees. During the growth period, in the first half of June, water the currants abundantly. “June has arrived in many colors - there is no free day.”

The month is named after the ancient Roman goddess Juno, wife of Jupiter. It was considered the month of summer heat, the solstice.

By June, the diligent peasant had completed the main spring field work: sowing and planting, plowing the early fallow. At the end of May and beginning of June, before the mass flowering of meadow grasses, there was a short period of rest - the inter-fallow period. And in the south haymaking was already underway. Again worries surrounded the peasant. That’s what the saying is about: “June is a rose-colored blossom, there’s no end to work.”
June is the first month of the long-awaited summer. June produces crops for the whole year, but in itself it is a hungry month - not much has ripened yet. This month is called so for the flowers, colors and bright dawns. People call it grain growth.

June is a hoarding month, the harvest is saved for the whole year. However, the peasant table was still meager: if there were no days of fasting, the family ate mainly dairy products, eggs and the first greens from the garden. And the bread was already running out. Therefore, pies, noodles and porridge were considered rare. The peasants said sadly: “June - blow into the bins, look: is there any life somewhere; forgotten in the corners”; “Collect the specks from the floor and make a funeral service.”
June is the month of young, green grass and first harvests: at the end of May - beginning of June, the first vegetables and herbs of the new season appear in the markets, and housewives prepare soup from young nettles.

June needs and worries forced the peasant to take a closer look at weather changes, and since ancient times, rural residents have noticed the connection between winter weather and summer. This was indicated by the experience of many years of observations. Winter weather changes had a particularly noticeable effect on June days. The weather coincided after 177 days - after six lunar months. If frost fell in winter, then after a lunar half a year dew would fall. If there was heavy and wet snow in December, it manifested itself in thunderstorms and rain in June. Winter snow pellets brought cold weather in June. The December blizzard turned into bad weather in June. Warm December foreshadowed the heat of June. These signs usually came true completely, and the peasant determined his economic concerns in advance and calculated his leisure time.

Warmed up...

Spring has departed. It's the month of June - the beginning of summer. The month of flowers, chicks and bright nights, the crown of spring.

The Old Russian name for the month of June is “cherven” - the red month. It was named so because from ancient times at this time they collected an insect - a mealybug - from the roots of the rake to obtain red paint. The month of June in Ancient Rus' was also called izok - that’s what the grasshopper was called then. From the warm grasses the chatter of grasshoppers can be heard with might and main.

The Romans called the fourth month of the year “Junius” - named after Jupiter’s wife, Juno, the patroness of women.

The average monthly temperature in Russia in June is 16-18 degrees, the highest temperature in some years, usually in the third decade, reaches 36-38 degrees Celsius (1957 and 1975). Sometimes the invasion of cold air from the Arctic in the first ten days of June is accompanied by a drop in temperature at night to 2-4 degrees below zero, which was observed in 1950, 1954, 1958, 1967, 1969, 1971.

Monthly precipitation in the month of June is 45-55 mm.

In the folk calendar, June 2 is borage day, when cucumbers are planted. June 11 - bread is eared, after June 12 beans are planted.

June 22 - the end of spring, the beginning of summer. Gives all its strength to the sun. It's time to stock up on hay! The first scythe does not fail - the hay is the best.

Summer is heating up. The forest is lush green. The view of lindens, birches, maples, and mighty oaks is majestic. A full leaf on giant oak trees appears only in the month of June. In the forest, forest bells - lilies of the valley - are blooming, strawberries are blooming, and strawberries are blooming along the ravines. Dandelions, daisies, bluebells, yarrow, oak grass or popularly Ivan-da-Marya, cornflowers, carnations, ranunculus, celandine are blooming, St. John's wort is blooming. Some of the dandelions have already faded and their fluff balls can be seen here and there; The wind will blow and numerous seeds will fly through the air, like small light parachutes. Blue cornflower, chamomile, common yarrow, lily of the valley, St. John's wort, celandine - all these are medicinal plants. Bluebells are subject to full protection: broad-leaved and peach-leaved, they cannot be taken.

Pine blossoms in the forests in early June. Honey-bearing viburnum is blooming, and raspberries are blooming in clearings, forest edges and along roads.

In the gardens, golden currants, an ordinary Irga, a bird cherry, the Siberian hawthorn, the cherry of the steppe, the ordinary lilac, the yellow acacia, the spirea is vyazolite, the honeysuckle of the Tatar, the Barberis, the Ryabin, the Hungarian lilac, was decorated with punted and pink flowers, and later white, tender petals, and later white petals. will throw away the jasmine.

The white boil of apple, pear and cherry trees is gradually subsiding.

In the fields and wastelands, quails incessantly shout “it’s time to sleep,” and in the meadow lowlands the corncrakes creak all night long. Knightly fights among sandpipers continue, and snipe lambs are also mating. Wood grouse, koschi, and drakes huddle in the support to molt.

The rye is already in ear and blooming. They dusted the poplars with fluff, generously scattering their light, fluffy seeds far around. They could be seen as snow rolls on the paths and uneven ground.

The first spike mushrooms appeared in the birch groves. These are young boletus mushrooms. Boletus has appeared in low pine plantings. Along with the boletus mushrooms, the first russulas are also found. There are about 60 species of russula in our forests and all of them are edible. Green, pink, purple, dark red, blue-violet, deep blue, purple-red, all colors and shades of colors of the caps of these mushrooms and you can’t list how many there are and how elegant they are. Mushroom pickers always enjoy collecting multi-flowered russula, they taste wonderful, they can be salted and fried. Only excessive fragility reduces their value. Mushroom pickers consider green russula to be the best: they are thicker, as they say, meatier, and break less than others. In old forests you can also find the first porcini mushrooms. In the pastures and along the edges of the meadow you can collect meadow mushrooms (meadow mushrooms), they are boiled and fried. They often form circles - “witch rings”. These are all mushrooms of the first layer, there are still few of them and this mushroom “layer” soon disappears. Inveterate lovers of “quiet hunting” say: “The real mushroom has not come yet, the real mushroom will come in August.”

How colorful are the meadow herbs this month! At the beginning of the month of June, the meadow turns blue from the abundance of forget-me-not flowers, then the meadow turns purple - meadow sage has bloomed, and now it is already white - daisies are blooming. Meadows become especially fragrant when red wild clover, lilac-blue bells, red meadow cornflowers and other honey plants bloom.

Flowers are children of the sun, mushrooms are children of shadow.

A number of birds - rooks, thrushes, starlings, buntings and finches - already have large chicks and parents have to “work” a lot to feed their voracious offspring. Some birds are still busy hatching their chicks, others have just hatched. During the period of feeding the chicks, only one pair of small insectivorous birds destroys several tens of thousands of harmful insects. A tit, for example, eats as many insects per day as it weighs. Often their “working day” lasts from dawn until dark. So, in summer, a starling works seventeen hours a day, a city swallow - eighteen, a swift - nineteen, and a redstart - more than twenty! For example, swifts should bring food at least thirty-five times a day, starlings - about two hundred, spotted woodpeckers - up to three hundred, swallows - three hundred, nuthatch - about three hundred and eighty, redstarts - over four hundred and fifty, and gray flycatchers - almost five hundred times a day. day. And birds don’t bring one fly or mosquito at a time. A swift immediately brings more than two hundred insects in its beak - after all, the chick's daily diet far exceeds the weight of the chick itself. Thanks to such gluttony, the chick increases its weight by 5-6 times in a week.

The color and color of eggs can tell a lot. It is known that hollow-nesting birds have light-colored eggs. Clutches of waders, gulls, nightjars and all those who lay eggs directly on the ground would not survive if they were not the same color as the ground on which they lie. Forest pipits make nests from the stems of dry cereals, hair, and less often moss, usually in a depression in the soil, under the cover of dried grass and branches.

These birds have an amazing variety of egg colors, but they are all speckled, ranging from brownish-gray to pinkish-brown.

June is the month of formation of young birds. The forest at this time needs absolute silence so as not to prevent the feathered parents from raising their pets on the wing.

The evening air is silently permeated with bats, which have fluttered out of their dark shelter in search of insects. Scientists have found that these animals make sounds in flight with a frequency of about 50 thousand vibrations per second, and each one lasts less than five thousandths of a second. This is the so-called ultrasound. The bat's ear registers this when the sound it emits bounces off an obstacle. With the help of echo location, they not only perfectly navigate in space, but also hunt for nocturnal insects and feed. Using a sound-converting device, Moscow zoologists recorded ultrasonic signals from bats and turned them into low-frequency signals audible to humans. It turned out that the calls of some bats, for example, rufous noctules, resemble the abrupt barking of dogs, and the calls of pipistrelle bats resemble a kind of rumbling.

Animals also have a lot of parental concerns. It is also time for them to raise their young - moose, wolves, foxes, badgers and other animals, and hares have their second litter. Bear weddings have begun: the roar of bears can be heard, and sometimes fierce fights break out between males.

Listen to the cheerful singing - the friendly croaking of green frogs - lake and pond. First one begins to sing, then the other, and now a combined choir sounds among the sedges and coastal vegetation. The soloists look very funny. They are serious and full of dignity. The mother-of-pearl throat swells importantly and solemnly. The voices of frogs and toads are strictly species-specific and diverse. This is primarily due to the main function of the voice - to invite on a date.

He loves to bask in the sun or swim in the water with his head out. Many people think of snakes as poisonous snakes, but this is not true. And you can distinguish them from a viper quite simply: by the yellow spots located on the sides of the head. Snakes feed on mice, shrews, frogs, and insects.

In damp places a viviparous lizard is found. She, like all reptiles with an unstable body temperature, loves to bask in the sun. The sand lizard is more brightly colored. The male of this species is bright green with small dark spots and stripes. Lives mainly in pine forests, feeds on butterflies, caterpillars and other small insects. In June, the lizard lays up to 13 eggs in the sand, warmed by the sun.

In the evenings, you can see a slowly moving toad on the grass or near the road. During the day she hides in the shade from the sun, and at dusk she hunts for insects, bringing great benefit. On warm summer evenings there is an intensified flight of insects.

The month of June has the longest days of the year. People say at this time: “Dawn meets dawn” or “Dawn gives hand to dawn.” The evening dawn has barely burned out when a new one is already dawning in the east. June 22 is the summer solstice. At noon the sun is at its highest position. According to the astronomical calendar, the summer solstice is considered the beginning of summer. At the end of the month, the days will gradually begin to wane. “The sun is for winter, and summer is for heat,” people say.

With warming, all aquatic plants, especially elodea, grow rapidly in reservoirs; standing waters are completely covered with a light green carpet of duckweed.

Tench spawn, and carp spawn in the ponds. Minnow spawning continues.

Hunting is prohibited; amateur fishermen fish with summer fishing rods.

In the fields, collective farmers carry out harrowing of crops, which destroys weed seedlings, retains moisture in the soil, irrigate long-term cultivated pastures, and plant potatoes in vegetable gardens. “Bad grass, get out of the field!” “Reclamation Day” is celebrated on the first Sunday in June.

The Roman poet Ovid suggested that June was named after the first Roman consul, Lucius Junius Brutus.

There is another version of the name of the month, according to which the word “junior” means “young”, “younger”. June was also called isok. Izok is a grasshopper, and there are a lot of them in June.

June holidays: June, however, like any other month, is rich in dates.

June 1st One of the oldest international holidays is celebrated - International Children's Day. It was founded in Geneva in 1925 at the World Conference on the Welfare of Children. This holiday is important for all parents. Just wondering, do any of you congratulate your children?

June 5- World Environment Day. This day once again reminds all inhabitants of our planet that we must take nature into account. After all, our life depends on the environment. And it is in recent years that we have begun to feel the impact of ecology.

A significant place among the dates is occupied by Pushkin Day, which is celebrated June 6. This holiday became official in 1997, when the president signed a corresponding decree. I am sure there is not a single person who does not know this name, the name of the greatest playwright, poet A.S. Pushkin, whose name has entered the history of Russia in golden letters. Alexander Sergeevich raised a simple Russian word to an unattainable height, made the Russian language perfect and brought it global significance. Even during Pushkin’s life, Gogol said about him: “Pushkin is an extraordinary phenomenon and, perhaps, the only manifestation of the Russian spirit: this is the Russian man in his development, in which he may appear in 200 years.”

On June 11, St. Isaac's Cathedral was consecrated. The most beautiful building of Auguste Ricard de Montferrand, without which we can no longer imagine the appearance of St. Petersburg. The history of St. Isaac's Cathedral, an outstanding architectural monument, is interesting and unusual. Peter the Great began to build it, and Nicholas 1 finished it. The cathedral took 40 years to build, its height is 101 meters, its weight is 114 tons. 112 monolithic columns surround St. Isaac's Cathedral. The interior decoration includes numerous works of painting, mosaics, sculpture, in total more than 150 works of monumental painting. Among them are works by such recognized and outstanding painters as Vasily Shebuev, Fyodor Bruni, Karl Bryullov.

There is one holiday in June, a red date on the calendar, 12 June- Russia Day. It has been celebrated annually since 1992 and is not a working day. Hooray.

June 13 construction began on the great Siberian route - the Trans-Siberian railway. This is one of the largest railway lines on the entire planet - 9300 kilometers! This highway connects the Far East with the European part of Russia.

22nd of June the saddest date in the history of our country. On this day, or rather morning, the Soviet Union was attacked by Nazi troops. On June 22, 1941, the bloodiest war began, which lasted 1,418 days. And all these long days and nights, the entire people gave all their strength to defend the very existence of our state. The victory came at a high price. More than 20 million dead, more than a hundred cities destroyed but unconquered. Thousands of villages lying in ruins. Every year, on June 22, we remember those terrible years of war, deprivation and devastation.

A June 24, 1945 The first Victory Parade took place in Moscow. And this is also a memorable and significant date in our history. Despite everything, we were able to win an unconditional victory. And in order to consolidate the Victory, it was decided to hold a Victory Parade on Red Square. On that day, June 24, 1945, the winners of fascism were honored in Moscow. At first, Stalin himself wanted to host the parade, but in the last days he refused this, since he had poor preparation. And he instructed Marshal Zhukov to host the Victory Parade. And the parade was commanded by Marshal Rokossovsky. Approximately 40,000 people took part in that parade. An interesting fact is that those walking in columns clung to each other with their little fingers in order not to lose step and keep the line. A special platform was built on Red Square, onto which they threw 200 captured German banners. After the parade, they were burned, as well as the gloves in which the standard bearers threw German trophies.

These are the holidays in June.

And here are some wonderful poets who wrote poems about summer:

Alexander Pushkin

Oh, summer is red! I would love you
If only it weren't for the heat, the dust, the mosquitoes, and the flies.
You, ruining all your spiritual abilities,
You torture us; like the fields we suffer from drought;
Just to get something to drink and refresh yourself -
We have no other thought, and it’s a pity for the old woman,
And, having seen her off with pancakes and wine,
We are celebrating her funeral with ice cream and ice.

Nikolay Nekrasov

(From the poem “Peasant Children”)

Wow, it’s hot!.. We were picking mushrooms until noon.
They came out of the forest - just towards
A blue ribbon, winding, long,
Meadow river: they jumped off in a crowd,
And brown heads above the desert river,
What porcini mushrooms in a forest clearing!
The river resounded with laughter and howling:
Here a fight is not a fight, a game is not a game...
And the sun beats down on them with the midday heat.
Home, kids! it's time for lunch.
We're back. Everyone has a basket full,
And how many stories! Got caught with a scythe
We caught a hedgehog and got a little lost
And they saw a wolf... oh, what a scary one!

Samuel Marshak

June has arrived.
"June! June!" -
Birds are chirping in the garden.
Just blow on a dandelion -
And it will all fly apart.

Boris Zakhoder

It's all winter...
Where is summer?
Animals, birds!
Waiting for an answer!

Summer, -
The swallow thinks -
Arriving very soon.
Summer needs to hurry,
And it flies like a bird!

Is it arriving? -
The Mole snorted. -
It's crawling underground!
You say
Summer is coming soon?
I don't hope so!

Toptygin grumbled:
- Summer
Sleeping in his den
Somewhere...

The horse neighed:
-Where is the carriage?
I'm now
I'll deliver summer!

Summer, -
The hares told me, -
He gets on the train at the station,
Because maybe it's summer
Ride like a hare -
Without a ticket!

Fedor Tyutchev

Already a hot ball of the sun
The earth rolled off its head,
And peaceful evening fire
The sea wave swallowed me up.

The bright stars have already risen
And gravitating over us
The vault of heaven has been lifted
With your wet heads.

The river of air is fuller
Flows between heaven and earth,
The chest breathes easier and more freely,
Freed from the heat.

And a sweet thrill, like a stream,
Nature ran through my veins,
How hot are her legs?
The spring waters have touched.
