How are rainbows formed

 Hi readers

last week we were writing explanation and there were three topics to choose from and i chose to write about how rainbows are formed. I chose this because they are colorful and the other topics I already knew but I didn't on rainbows so I chose rainbows. I wrote a piece of explanation to show you how rainbows are formed here is my writing

How are rainbows formed?

Have you seen a rainbow? It is very colorful. You can not touch a rainbow, it is a light and you can only see it from a long distance. Read explanation to learn about how rainbows are formed.

A rainbow is made from light and a prism. If you shine your flashlight at a prism you get a rainbow. A rainbow is made when rain meets sunlight. The raindrops and sunlight act like prisms and flashlights. The sunlight goes inside the water droplet and it bends slightly and changes direction; this is called refraction. Note that no two people can see the exact same rainbow because each person is at a different angle and using different droplets of water. With that said, it is not possible to do it.

The colors on the rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Each color has a different wavelength and each one determines where the color should be. The color red has the longest wavelength because it is on the top of the rainbow, the colour violet has the shortest wavelength and that’s why it’s on the bottom.

Did you know that rainbows are actually full circles? Rainbows look like arches since we are seeing them from the ground. It seems like an arc but from the sight of a tall view such as a tall building, mountain or airplane but if you want to see a full circle rainbow, do not forget that you need to have sunlight and rain at the same time.

To make rainbows, you need sunlight and rain at the same time. Therefore, rainbows are rare and are colorful. They are very cool and stuff.

Writing about a monster

Hello

We have been reading a book called where the wild things are and we have to make up our own monsters using 4 animals and combining them together to make our monster then draw it. We have to also write a character description about the monster that we made.

The Talmingo looks like a monster which has a giant shell turtle. It has the pink head of a flamingo and the tall legs of a tall flamingo as well. The Talmingo monster has a very long tail from a monkey and wings from a sparrow bird.

It has a shell so it can protect itself from victims that could harm it by hiding inside it and it can also fly up in the sky because it has the wings of a sparrow. The monkey tail can grab items and the flamingo legs make it tall so it can reach stuff that is very tall and cannot be reached easily.

One of the personalities of the Tlamingo monster is very protective of itself because it has a giant shell to hide into and one of the other personalities is scared because it always hides in its shell and protects itself from victims that can attack the Tlamingo and kill it.

It existed from a smart monkey who knows how to use pots and cooking tools, took a flamingo, a sparrow and a turtle then cooked it and ate them up. Then all the parts grew and that is how the Tlamingo monster existed. 

Here is a photo of the Tlamingo monster

Penguin information report

Hi

This week once we have finished our polar bear information report, we could choose another animal and I chose penguins to write an information report about. We had to get information from a book then a digital book and from the internet. Here is my report about penguins:

Have you seen a penguin before? They are flightless birds although some birds fly. Did you also know that penguins have good hearing and that one species called real can jump 5 feet? If you want to know more facts you should read on.

Penguins eat food like fish, krill and squid. They catch their food by swimming and catch them then eat them. If they do not eat food, they will starve and then die.

A penguin can swim 15 miles per hour and it is really fast. Their flippers are useful because they can catch their food easily. Their feet are webbed or connected to their body so they can swim really fast. 

Penguins have predators and dangers and those dangers kill them. Leopard seals, polar bears, killer whales and foxes kill them. Even rats and cats could kill penguins. Penguins also have natural dangers like pollution and global warming that can kill the penguins.

Penguins live in really, really freezing places like Antarctica, South America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand but there is one that only the galapagos species lives in and it is on Galapagos island. The galapagos species does not live in the other places in the world apart from Galapagos island.

Penguins have two or one babies at a time. The baby egg is around 12 centimetres long and around 8 centimetres wide. It weighs about 400 grams. Newborn penguins can also be called chicks. When the chick dies, the mother steals another baby.

Penguins are interesting because they swim fast and keep warm by staying together in giant, humongous groups and waddle.
