Activity:Imagine that you are a student in the 1980s and you’re about to graduate from high school. Where would you like to go on your big OE? On your blog tell us which country you would visit and give us three (3) reasons for your choice. Find some pictures on the internet of things that you would like to see and do in this country.

I would like to go to England, firstly because I would get to see buckingham palace in real life and maybe see the Queen, Secondly I would like to just drive round the country in England because when my mum went to England apparently you drive underneath the tree's and you are just surrounded by bush and it looks really cool. Thirdly I would like to go see the Big Ben and go to the London Eye because they look really cool in pictures and I would love to experience it in real life
