Summer Learning Journey - Day 9

Day 9/25th Dec 2016

Activity 1

Now that you have met my family it is time to think about your own family. On your blog tell us about your family. How many people are in your family? Do you have any brothers or sisters? What are their names?

Family

So, Let’s start off with the basics my family is made up of 1, 2, 3 ( joking ) 6 people So first there's my MUM ( Kim ) and my DAD ( Dan ). I have 3 sibling ( 2 girls and 1 boy ) Names are Danielle and

Activity 2

Some families are very large and some are very small. Some of the smallest families are found in China where parents are allowed, by law, to have only one child. This is quite different from countries like America (U.S.A.) where some families have as many as 19 or 20 children. It is rare but it does happen!

In America, there is actually a family with 19 children who have their own television show called ’19 Kids and Counting.’ All 19 children have the same two parents (Jim Bob and Michelle) and every single one of the children has a name starting with the letter ‘J.’ The oldest children is a boy named Josh and the youngest is a girl named Josie. Amazing!

If you’d like to see a small clip from the show, follow this link: 19 Kids and Counting

Imagine that you were one of the Duggar children and you had 18 brothers and sisters. What do you think it would be like to have so many sisters and brothers living with you in one house? On your blog please tell us what you would like and what you wouldn’t like about living in such a large family.

What do you think it would be like to have so many sisters and brothers living with you in one house?

I think it would be really cool because I would have so many influences and I would never be only because like dahh 18 brothers and sisters. I would also have someone to talk to, a friend and maybe even a best friend ( hehe )

What you would like about living in such a large family?
I would like probably everything!!!!!!!! Like when we go on cool trips and other things like that.

What I wouldn't like about being in such a large family?

Hmmm, not enough attention because 19 kids that's a lot I really wouldn’t like if a was lift out and yea I think that's it.
