What would it have been like to be an explorer so long ago? Would you have been frightened to travel into the unknown? Share what you think these experiences would have been like if you were one to travel with Christopher Columbus so long ago!
I would be very scared because of the big waves nocking on my ship I would not like it.

I agree that it would be very scary, especially not knowing where you were going.

I don't think I would have chosen to go or be an explorer. If it was not so dangerous I would have gone.

Wow! I wonder what it would be like to be on Columbus`s ship! I wish I had that little device that Peter Thompson had. I think it would scary to be on that ship, not knowing were you are.

I wouldnt go either. It would be to dangerous and I never knew that Christopher Columbus was born that long ago. I always thought he was born in 1630 or something.Never 1451!

I would have been scared to go on a ship because I have read books about people falling overboard. Columbus was very brave to travel to a place he didn't know about.

Good connection, Tessa. We will read a story later in the year about colonists traveling to the New World and they faced some of those issues.
