Around Asia

Introduction

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in another country?  What would be different?  What would be the same?











Task

The Grade 5's are going Around Asia  to find out more about how children in other countries live.

The first thing you will need to do is choose any Asian country e.g. Japan/China/Indonesia/India/Thailand/etc...

Then you will need to pick a name for yourself from that country.
