@ Lost Umbrella Ellie May begins her experience of Wind! Lost Umbrella Did you lose an umbrella? I know where they go. The wind calls out, the leaves are cavorting already in the air, and the umbrellas want to join them. Waiting for the perfect moment when the wind swoops down and up, the umbrellas catch this drift and sail into the air to play and dance with the leaves.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Matilda.
Ellie May shook paws with Matilda the Green Rapid Dragonfly. They both received one silver mole!
Navy Flower Power Egg The first painted eggs came from Mesopotamia, and because eggs were forbidden food during Lent, people painted eggs while Lent was being observed—after Lent, they would eat the eggs on Easter Day.
Beautifully decorated eggs “pysanka” are associated with Ukraine, and the oldest painted egg that was unearthed in northern Ukraine is dated to the end of the 17th century.
Let's Go Fly A Kite! You don’t need to carry a brush for cleaning chimneys or have a bottomless bag to enjoy flying a kite. All you need is a steady wind—not too fierce—and some bit of paper or cloth over a light frame, with a string attached.

@ Tilting at Windmills "A trivia question for you, Choose a name!" announced Ellie May. "Who is the largest consumer of fireworks in the United States?" Choose a name pondered. "I don't know, Ellie May, who is it?" "It's Walt Disney World. The park launches the fireworks with compressed air instead of gunpowder to reduce fumes and gain better height and timing." Tilting at Windmills We are in Don Quixote territory here, in Spain's Castilla–La Mancha region. The area is dotted with numerous vineyards, castles and windmills—and mountain ranges!

@ Drifting Around On The Water "Wind direction is given by the direction from which the wind comes," said Ellie May. "That makes sense!" replied Svaha. Drifting Around On The Water All the pets are clamouring to see their duck and geese pals. We gather up some bags of seeds and enjoy a leisurely walk to the pond.

@ Touchdown "It's turned a bit hot, Ellie May. They must have put the heating on! I'm going to take my scarf off," said Beatrice. "Good scheme! I'll do the same," said Ellie May.

Ellie May shook paws with Beatrice the Brown Rustic Rabbit. They both received one silver mole!
@ Children Of The Dandelion "Hey, this is interesting, Ellie May!" declared Patches. "It says here that if the entire world’s water were fit into a 4 litre jug, the fresh water available for humans and pets would equal only about one tablespoon." Ellie May fidgeted with the corner of her brochure. "I'm not sure I follow, Patches!" "It's a proportion thing, Ellie May. Nearly 97% of the world’s water is salty or otherwise undrinkable. Another 2% is locked in ice caps and glaciers. That leaves just 1% for all of our needs!" Children Of The Dandelion Each seed has its own propeller that will allow the wind to carry it whirling and dancing across the land until the wind abates and the seed drops to find its new home.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Patches.

@ Flag, Great Britain "After the Great Fire of London in 1666, businessmen started house insurance companies. They had to be careful because if another fire started they could lose a lot of money. To get around this, they ended up hiring their own fire brigade just in case a fire did start! This is when the first brigade started." "It sounds a bit hit-and-miss, Ellie May!" remarked Horton. "It was, yes. Any of the insurance companies' fire brigades weren't allowed to put out a fire of a house which was insured with a different company!" "They'd just watch it burn, then, Ellie May?" "Well—I guess that was how it went, Horton, yes!" Flag, Great Britain A flag of Great Britain, fluttering in the breeze. Flags represent an idea or an ideal. Countries, businesses, sports, religions, railways, and clubs all use a flag to represent themselves. Flags are also used in semaphores to convey a message across a distance.

@ The Power Of Water "The Great Fire of London in 1666 gave rise to many changes, you know, Ellie May," remarked Esmerelda. "Many streets were widened across London. New building regulations meant that instead of wood, brick had to be used for all houses." The Power Of Water The tide roars in, and tons of water will crash to the shore bringing sand, rocks, and treasures.

Ellie May shook paws with Esmerelda the Chocolate Milky Moo Cow. They both received one silver mole!
@ Translucent Blue The ancient Greeks believed that there were four elements that everything was made up of: earth, water, air and fire. This theory was suggested around 450 BCE, and it was later supported and added to by Aristotle. Aristotle also suggested that there was a fifth element, aether, because it seemed strange that the stars would be made out of earthly elements. He would be surprised to learn that they are in fact made up of many elements found on earth, and are so hot they could be said to be on fire all the time! Translucent Blue The sun is beaming down, the day is warm, and the water is crystal clear and looks so inviting. So let us jump right in and make some waves of our own.

@ Breezy Fields Ray Bradbury wrote a book called The Fireman, but the editors found the name boring. They called a local fire station to ask at what temperature book paper would burn at. The firemen put Bradbury on hold, burnt a book, and reported that the temperature it burnt at was 451° Fahrenheit. The rest, as they say, is history. Breezy Fields Let’s run through the field as the grasses bend to the wind and the clouds race each other across the sky.

@ Ruffled Waters Air pollution is measured with the Air Quality Index, or AQI. The lower the AQI, the cleaner the air is. However, if you are outside when the AQI is over 100, it’s about the same as breathing in exhaust from a car all day! Things that cause poor air quality are forest fires and cities with lots of car traffic. If the AQI is higher than 100 you shouldn’t spend too much time outside. Ruffled Waters The blue, ruffled waters of this outdoor swimming pool look very inviting! Who's for a dip before breakfast?
