Great Britain is made up from 4 countries – England, Wales, Scotland and N. Ireland. Some of us were born in England and some were born in other Countries.
3. Buckingham Palace In Britain we have a Queen who lives in Buckingham Palace. We watched some video which showed her Palace and the Queen riding in one of her horse drawn carriages. As we watched we ate Rich tea biscuits as they are made in Great Britain. We also listened to Holst ‘The planets’, who is a famous composer who was born in Cheltenham and Elgar’s ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ who was a famous composer who lived in Worcester.
4. Wales is also part of Great Britain and Frances brought in some Welsh dragons.

Kacper also comes from Poland and is on holiday there visiting family at the moment. Pelle has a Polish daddy.

“They are crunchy and I love eating crunchy food.”
“They taste a bit funny, yknow a bit like banana.”
