London calling

Kuula ja loe õpetaja meil ette.

Dear class,

This year, our first day trip is a “city holiday”. We will travel next Thursday by school minibus to London. We will leave at 9 am from the school playground and return around 5 pm. You should bring a packed lunch and something to drink with you. You may also take a small amount of money for a snack, ice cream or souvenirs (max £5). Here are six famous sights in London. Which ones do you find the most interesting? Go online if you want to get more information. You can choose 2-3 sights. We’ll talk about these in class on Friday.

Best wishes,
​Mr Jones

                Loch Ness

                Hey kids! I’m Nessie and I live in the great Loch Ness in Scotland.

                Loch is how you say lake in Scottish. Loch Ness is about 36 kilometres long and 300 metres deep. It’s very narrow: only about one and a half kilometres wide. Many tourists come by buses to Loch Ness to see me, but I’m a little shy and I don’t come out very often.

                This is Edinburgh Castle. It’s build on Castle Rock. The rock is actually a large, extinct volcano. People believe that it was formed around 350 million years ago. When you’re at Edinburgh Castle, remember to cover your ears at one o’clock: a cannon fires at one o’clock every day except on Sundays.

                The Highland Games

                If you’re looking for action, visit the Highland Games in the spring and summer. At the Games, strong athletes throw weights and hammers and toss the caber. Besides sports, there are piping and drumming competitions, Scottish dancing, and the very popular tug of war.

                And who am I? I’m a unicorn, the national animal of Scotland.
