Dear family and friends,

We landed in China just yesterday and are excited to explore the country. One thing we really want to do is see the great wall of China, the largest bridge in the world. We want to try to break the world record and get all the way to the other side without taking a break. The great wall is 8,850km long and our teacher told us it would be the same as walking from Toronto to Vancouver.

This is a picture of the great wall of China

One thing we really want to do eat Chinese food. We want to eat chicken balls, rice, and spring rolls. We want to learn how to use chop sticks to eat the noodles. At the end of a chinese food meal sometimes you eat fortune cookies that will tell you your future.

Exploring Egypt

Dear family and friends,

We just left Rio de Janeiro and we just arrived in Cairo, Egypt. We went to see the Nile river. which is the longest river in the world. There are enormous crocodiles that live in the Nile River. Egyptians can get water easier if they live close to the river. This helps them cool down because it's really hot here.

There are three main pyramids in Egypt where the Egyptians buried the three pharos. The pyramids are made out of stone blocks and took a very long time to build. They are in the shape of a rectangular pyramid.

Egyptians write their name from right to left instead of left to right. Sophia's mom Rania came into our class today to teach us about this. She told us that Egyptians invented a kid of paper called papyrus.
