Today the Summer Learning Journey said that if loggers should be allowed or not and we have to give 2 reasons why! This is activity one! I chose both because: if we dont cut wood how are we going to get paper? But if we have loggers it could also force other animals that live in the forest to move to a new home.  For activity 2, we have to write a letter to a friend or a family member about going to tundra . Tundra is a place where it is very cold. But its really cold in the Winter. Dear mum: Yesterday the whole class got to go on a trip to Tundra! Tundra is a very cold place!

Last year there was a tablet but this year there is a drone! We are doing a practise activity because some people have not tried the Summer Learning Journey and now they get to see how it works before the Summer Learning Journey actually happens. The practise activity we are doing is countries. We have to choose a country and we then write all the information and facts about the country that we chose.  Here is the different types of countries that we could choose from!

I chose Japan because I saw the pictures on the link and they looked so pretty and fu
