My picture is called Every Bit of Nature because nature is all around us in space, on land and under the sea. I divided my picture into layers to show all the different worlds of nature together. The top layer is space. Space is part of nature too, even though people sometimes forget about it. There are planets, stars and the sun floating around. Uranus is saying 'Brrrrr' because he is a cold planet. I used dark colours to show how big and deep space is, but I also added bright colours because space is exciting and full of surprises. The sun is shining because it helps life grow everywhere, even down on Earth and in the sea. The middle layer is the land, where people, animals and plants live together. There are trees, grass, dogs and people walking and exploring. There are animals running around and little animal homes like the horse stable, the foxes den, birds nest and the worm coming out of the soil. It shows how animals can feel safe and cosy in nature even when humans are around. The bottom layer is the sea. Under the water there are fish, jellyfish, an octopus and other sea creatures. I also created some gnome sea creatures just for fun! I made this picture to remind people that every bit of nature matters, from the stars in space to the smallest fish in the sea and we need to take care of it all.
