We have been learning about the European explorers: Abel Tasman and Captain James Cook.

During the past two weeks on Friday we have been creating sea animals for Play, Make, Create. I chose a Seahorse because they are my favourite animal. Here are some facts about Seahorses.
There are at least 50 species of Seahorses.
Seahorses are tiny fishes that are named for the shape of their head, which looks like the head of a tiny horse.
Seahorses can be any colour.
We went to Mt ruapehu for a week. We had truckloads of fun.

Today for Play, Make, Create we read a story “The Magic School Bus makes a Rainbow”
We were allowed to create our own rainbow using the materials.
I created a digital rainbow with 3 facts.
Three rainbow facts I learnt are;
1.Rainbows are formed with light and water
2. Rainbows have 7 beautiful colours
Here is my rainbow writing.
Once upon a time there was a rainbow called Sara. By day Sara would dance in the raindrops. By night she would sleep.
One day an explorer called Sally decided to find a rainbow.
That day Sally set off far and wide in search of a rainbow. Soon Sally found a mountain to set up camp. Sally soon felt a drop of water plonk on her head. It was raining, but the sun was still out. Later a rainbow appeared. Sally couldn’t believe her eyes. “Hello down there!” the rainbow called. “What’s your name? said Sally yelling her head off. The rainbow did not answer. Soon before Sally knew it the rainbow started fading. “NOO!” Sally yelled.
Sally was so sad she packed up and went home. That moment Sally had an idea. “I’ll reunite the colours with water!” She said, So Sally went to the nearest water source, Soon she found a lake. Good thing she brought her bucket. Sally scooped up water and ran back up the hill and splashed the rainbow and the rainbow was colourful again.
Sally walked in the dark night home. The next morning she was home in her soft bed, and they all lived happily ever after.
