Dear Family and Friends,
As most of you know we are going to Australia in less than a
week. I’m excited that we are going to Australia. I think it is going to be a
lot of fun going to new a school, meeting new people, and going to the Great
Barrier Reef. I’m excited to go on the plane ride so I can watch 4 movies. I’m
also excited because the plane we will fly in is the biggest commercial jet
available with 3 jets on each wing and is double decker.
For the
last 2 weeks I have been home schooling. Lots of my friends think I’m lucky
because I can sleep in. The problem: I don’t like to sleep in. Though, I like
not having to wait for other people to ask their questions. But I miss seeing
my friends which I can’t do when I’m at home.
As part
of home schooling I have been learning about Australia. Here are some
interesting facts.
-
1. Kangaroos and wallabies are related animals
that look the same. The difference is that kangaroos are bigger than wallabies.
-
2. Australia’s largest bird doesn't fly. That
bird is the emu.
-
3. The Great Barrier Reef is 1,430 miles long
and covers 135,136 square miles. It is considered as the world’s largest living
thing.
-
4. Aussie Rules Football is a mix between rugby,
basketball, and pro wrestling. Maybe I will get to go to a game.
