Companion summary

Imagine standing on a giant wooden boat, with huge white sails catching the wind like enormous bedsheets! Long ago, sailing ships were the only way people could explore new lands across the ocean. Some old ships had up to forty sails to catch enough wind to move across the sea. When you finish, try drawing your own sailing ship and counting how many sails you give it!

Look at the Sea!

Look at the Sea!

Imagine you are at the sea. There is no motor. No engine. How does the big boat move? The wind does it!

💭 Think about this

Can you blow air out of your mouth? That is like wind!
