What’s all that noise? Are you having a goose party?

Oh no, we are practicing for a very big journey.

We are going

on a looong

goose journey!

Can we come too?

We all need

to exercise for the long flight!

You are all welcome Just follow the older geese - they will show you the way.

7

Off we go!

boom-boom!

Balabala-How do you know the way?

We also use landmarks to show us the way!

Birds have

an inbuilt GPS*!

Geese have a sort of internal

compass that tells them where to go.

8

Oops! How can we navigate at night?

We’ve got

to fly all the way back home now

Bye-bye!

At night we use the stars

to show us the way

Migrating birds travel from north to

south every year Birds don’t have

any borders!

“Look at what I just found!”

“What is it?”

“A fabulous treasure! A precious stone!”

“Let me see?” says Po.

Kiki carefully opens her hand to show her brother.

“That’s a pebble!” Po laughs.

“Yes, but a fantastic one,” answers his sister.

“What’s so special about it?”

Kiki opens her hand slowly again

“Hush hush, look it’s asleep.”

“What? It’s a stone! Stones don’t sleep.”

“This one does!”

“Hush!” says Po, “I think I saw it move.”

The long, long journey of the little stone.

Kiki lifts it closer to her face

“Hello little stone - are you awake?”

“I was so tired,” answers the stone

in a very small voice

“It talks!” whisper the children.

Story and illustration by Rachel Ortas

“I’ve been on such a long journey A journey that has

taken a long, long time,” says the stone with its tiny voice.

“Tell us please, little stone,” says Kiki holding her new

friend in the palm of her hand.

So the little stone starts to tell the children about

its long, long journey.

“I used to be a huge rock living at the very top of a

giant mountain I was enormous and beautiful

Every day I watched the sea far, far away down the

mountain, at the very end of the green valley And

every night I dreamt of jumping into the sea and

rolling in the waves.

“So what happened?” asked Kiki, cuddling the little

stone.

“One day, the giant mountain woke up in a funny

mood It started to shake so furiously that I lost my

balance and rolled down the slopes of the mountain

I rolled and rolled until I fell into the river below with

an enormous SPLASH!

17

I continued moving through the dancing water for years and years - it was such fun!” laughs the little stone.

“All the rolling and gliding made me much, much smaller,” continues the little stone “One day, the river became much calmer I was in a green valley I was carried along by the stream, all the way to the sea.”

“Then I found you on the beach!” says Po.

“Oh no, not yet! I travelled the oceans for years, pushed along by the current I was so curious to discover the world and I was getting so

small, I could go anywhere!

One day I found a beach and decided to stay there on the warm sand Then you discovered me and I’m your friend now!” the little stone

whispers

“Can we take you home?” ask Kiki and Po together.

“Oh yes, I would like that very much!” says the little stone

“But one day, please will you bring me back to the beach?

I haven’t finished my fantastic journey yet I still have so far to go and so much to see! I want to do lots and lots of rolling in the ocean waves until I’m the finest, softest grain

of sand ”

“But why?” cries Kiki “That is so sad.”

“No! It will be so much fun!” answers the little stone.

“Can’t you hear all the tiny grains of sand singing in the

waves? They are having a really good

time!

But for now, you can take me home, and

I will tell you about all the things I have

seen, from the giant mountains to the

sea And I will tell you about all the

friends I made along the way.

And even before that, I will tell you

about when I was a baby stone living on

a comet, flying through the galaxy!”

“Wow!” whisper Kiki and Po at

the same time.

Kiki carefully puts her VERY special

pebble friend in her pocket Then she

and her brother Po run all the way

home.

I see the stars a-twinkling A-twinkling

A-twinkling

I see the stars a-twinkling Like diamonds in the sky… Looking out the window The window

At comets flying by!

I spy the Earth below us

A ball of misty blue…

I spy the moon above us

Above us

Above us

I spy the moon above us –

Oh what a cosmic view!

We’re going on a journey

School Journey

Help Leeny find his way to school.

Start

Alfred Wallis was born in Cornwall in

1855 Wallis is now known as an artist,

but to his friends and family he was

a fisherman Wallis never had an art

lesson At the time, art wasn’t taught in

schools, so Wallis taught himself how to

paint Without any training, he painted

because he loved it Wallis simply put his

paintbrush on the canvas and did what he

thought looked good

Do you like painting?

Just have fun painting whatever you like!

You will need: paper plate, lolly

stick, coloured paper, pens and

Glue the sea down and cut off

any extra bits.

Cut some shapes for clouds.

Make a boat by cutting triangles out

of white paper for sails, a rectangle

for the boat and circles for portholes.

Stick the boat onto a lolly stick.

Ask an adult to make a wavy cut in

the plate along the top of the sea.

Add some fish in the sea Slot your ship through the gap to reveal it!

Ramps and roads

Let’s experiment with making ramps to discover how objects move!

You will need:

cardboard sheets

bubble wrap

felt books

toy cars coloured tape

Extra things for testing:

Make the ramp:

Stack the books up and prop the cardboard sheet on the books

Stick some coloured

tape on the cardboard to

slope is not very steep? How far do the cars travel?

Now stack more books and make the slope steeper What happens to the cars now?

Activity by Maggie Li

Test different materials:

Friction Which shape rolls the best?

OKIDO is delighted to be working with the British Science Association for British

Science Week 2019 One activity inside OKIDO magazine, attending an OKIDO Art

and Science session or after-school club session all count as one STAR challenge

Children can complete eight STAR challenges to gain the CREST star award for

British Science Week 2019 Head to okido.com for details.

Touch the different materials Are

they smooth or rough?

Are they bumpy?

Which surface do you think the cars

will travel down fastest? Or slowest?

Now test your cars on the ramp.

Did you get it right?

Friction is when one object rubs against another

object and stops it from moving so quickly

Bubble wrap is bumpy,

which makes lots of

friction

A mirror is very smooth so there is very little friction

Now you’ve tried a car, how about trying some other objects? Which one

do you think will work best?

Everyone is on a journey and so is Foxy!
