Rainbow

 

Hello P5 – Happy Wednesday! I hope you and your families are all doing fine today! Just a wee thought…… As I left Linlithgow after school on Monday,  I passed  a house that had pictures of brightly coloured Rainbows in the window that children had drawn. It made me smile! It also made me think about the saying ‘After the rain there is always a rainbow!’ I don’t know if you have heard of that but it means that sometimes when things happen that make you feel a bit fed up or sad, something positive can come out of it- a bit like seeing a rainbow after the rain! I now notice that the little girl who lives in the house opposite me is putting up pictures she is doing at home in her window for people to see! It is making me smile to see her pictures and when people are out for a bit of fresh air, they stop briefly to look at her art work –  I see them smiling too! I wondered if this was something you would like to do ? Please ask your parents if this is ok before you do it though – you always need to ask permission! Have a great rest of your day!
