Hi Alex,

We

had

an amazing

trip

to Kenya We

saw

so many

animals- it was a real 1 adventure

/ survivor

When we

arrived it was

2

sunny/rainy

,

but it stopped the next day.

The first night

we slept

in tents and

we caught

some fish

in

a

3

lake/ forest for dinner

We

travelled

around

the

animal park

with a local guide.

The guide told us how the

4 elephants/giraffes use

their

ears to keep

cool.

We also

saw

a tiger,

but we

didn't get

very

close because it was

too

5 intelligent/dangerous.

On

our

last night

we saw

asnake. My sister was really

scared ,

but

I thought it was really 6 frightening/

exciting The

7 best

/

worstthing was

the

temperature,

though, it was too

hot

for me

Love,

Sam

The

pretty

Mexican city of Durango is usually a quiet, sleepy place,

but

recently something special happened Last week the people of

Durango created a very large

bowl

of soup, the largest

bowl

of

soup in the world in fact Romania held the old record for the

largest

bowl

of soup, which contained 5045litres of soup The

Mexican bowl broke that record, however, as it contained

an

amazing 5350 litres of soup.

The people of

Durango spent months

planning this project.

Cooking the

soup was

a hard job, but finding a cooking pot big

enough was also difficult A month was

spent

planning

and

building the bowl. Local farmers

provided

the food

that was

needed. All the local restaurants offered their chefs to make the

soup.

Many

local people

worked

as waiters and cleaners for the

day. The local schools

put

on a day-long show of music and

dancing. Thousands of people came to the town to celebrate the

super-sized soup. The cooks

had

a lot of work to do to prepare the

soup. For example,

they

had

to

cut

up

530

kg

of onions

and

use

100 litres of vegetable oil

This project has

shown

the people of

Durango that

people can do

anything when they work together. e look forward to hearing

about

their next
