3,2,1...! 3 School, 2 Family, 1 World -20th Aug
Last day of holiday, Play day, Domino and Massive wildfires
A weekly newsletter from a 13 year old trying to balance school, parents, activities & the world…and of course, homework. An honest description of how I see the world.
~3 on School Holidays!~ Last day of holiday😭
Today is the last day of holidays😭 School starts tomorrow and I don’t want to go but I’m really excited at the same time! My top moments of this trip have probably been Greece and Shimla. Both were amazing tourist destinations that are definitely worth the visit!
My personal favourite part of Greece was the temples. We went to the Parthenon, the Temple of Poseidon, the Oracle of Apollo, and all had such rich history and amazing views! Even if we just spent the full day roaming around in one place it wouldn’t get boring because of interesting every place is💖
My other favourite part was the mountains in Shimla. 2 to 3 day is enough there and you definitely need family or friends to talk to. We went with our entire family which is another reason why it was so amazing, and going on walks and trails with them made it even better!
~2 on Family~ Play day😝
Just a few hours ago my brother and I went downstairs to play and we were playing badminton. I am used to him hitting lightly since he was small so I was going easy on him but he hits so hard now! So we were playing a full on match and I was so suprised😅🎉
After that we went to the playground and played the Floor is lava tag game and it was super cool! We kept running around trying to avoid certain parts of the floor all while trying to tag the other person.
~1 on World~ Wildfires around the world
In Western Canada, wildfires force thousands to flee because the massive fires spread across most of the city of Kelowna. Around 30,000 people were under evacuation orders to flee while another 36,000 were under alert to be ready. Huge wildfires have also occured on a Spanish island of Tenerife and the flames were out of control but not around the tourist areas.
~SONG OF THE WEEK~
Domino By Jessie J. My friend and I recently made a dance to it and its been stuck in my head every since!
~FACT OF THE WEEK~
Sloths can hold their breath longer than dolphins can! Dolphins need to come up to breathe every 10 min, but sloths can actually hold their breath for up to 40 min! That’s because when needed, they can slow their heartbeat.
