Summer Learning Journey - Day 1

DAY 1/17th December

Activity 1

After you have read the quick facts about each place you must choose ONE country that you would like to ‘visit.’ On your blog post the name of the country and tell us why you have chosen to visit it. Please give, at least, two reasons for choosing the country.

I would like to visit Japan

Why I want to go to Japan is

1. Because it’s a beautiful country and there are so many people living there in peace and harmony
2. Because Japan is made up of 127.3 Million ( 2013 ) people

I would also like to visit Canada

1. Because I would love to explore this country and also visit some of their cool and interesting areas/places
2. Because Canada is a place that is close to the U.S and I always wanted to visit  some states in the U.S and it would be cool to see new and different things like:

Shops, Food, Buildings, Parks, Tourist places, Churches, Schools, Universities etc.

Activity 2

On Google, research the country that you have chosen to visit and write, in your own words, three interesting facts about that country. They must be facts that weren’t already provided on the World Map.

Facts about Japan

1. There are over 50,000 people in Japan that are over 100 years of age
2. Most of the streets in Japan don't even have names
3. In Japan Black cats are considered luck

Facts about Canada

1. Canada is the 2nd largest country in the world
2. The North American Beaver is the national animal of Canada
3. In Canada some police give good tickets to people who do good things

Bonus round

Write a letter to a friend or family member to tell them that you are going to visit your country of choice. In your letter, please tell them where you are going, why you have decided to go to the particular country and how long you will be away. Feel free to invite them to join you, if you’d like!

Hi Mum

I am going to visit Japan and Canada because they’re two beautiful countries. I want to start exploring the world, starting with these countries which are my favourite. I will be away for a four weeks in January. I want to invite you to go with me on this trip. What better way to explore these two countries as a Mother-Daughter duo.

I hope you say yes, because I don't really want to go by myself.

Your loving daughter
