Hello everyone for another week!
This week, your homework is all about the Empire State building.

I would like you to prepare one paragraph that tells the reader the following: (each worth 10 points!)

1. Where is the Empire State building located?
2. When was the building first built
3. How many stories does the building have?
4. Who designed the building?


Bonus questions! (Worth 20 points each!)

5. How much does it cost to go to the lookout level?
6. Can you name three movies that has the Empire State building in them?

This is a view of NY from the top of the building...

Alright, well that's enough for this week. I hope you are all getting excited about the Christmas good times coming around the corner! I miss you all, and hope you are looking after one another. Remember to pray everyday!

Have fun with the blog!

Hi Everyone!

Well, I finished my assignmemt, so I finally got to go and do some sight seeing in New York!

This is me at a place you often see in the movies! Can you work out where I am? Let me give you a hint. It has two words. The first has something to do with a clock and starts with T. The second word is a common shape and starts with S.

Here I am at the three-story MnM shop!!! Chocolate everywhere!

When you are in America, there are some things you would want to be able to do. One, eat chocolate. Two, eat wheat. Three, drink soft drink and coffee. Hmm...d'oh!

Can you think of one reason why I don't eat chocolate?

(10 points!)

Here's me with more chocolate!

Now, I am at Adam's favourite place in New York. The NBA store! It is huge! You can even play basketball there!

In this photo I have my hand in the imprint of Kobe Bryants hand! Who does Kobe play for?

Now, I am at a giant park in New York. People were ice-skating and having picnics and riding in a horse and carriage! It was very beautiful. Can you name the park? Have a look on google for a map of New York City and spot the giant park.

Well, that's all for this week's blog. I hope you are all well, and that you are all looking after the leaders! Make sure you remember to say Happy Birthday to Adam!

Miss you all,

Hi everyone!

Just a short one this week so you have to be creative to get extra points!

What just happened in America and why is it exciting??? (you will get points for the amount of words you use to explain your answer!)

Have fun at homework group!!!

Just when you thought I had stopped giving you homework!

Ok guys, so I am going to try to let you see all the things I am seeing while I am overseas! And I am going to give you little activities that you can do during homework group! Hahaha! Just when you thought I had stopped making you do work!

For the first week's blog, I am in England. Your first task is to find Melbourne on a globe or map. Then move your finger all the way to London, England. (10 points for that)


Alright, this first photo is the grave of two really important people to me. You have to write down one thing that these people did that you think made them famous. You have to find out when they were born and when they died. (20 points for both) And for extra points, you have to name all of their children! (20 points!)










Just for fun: At some point today, talk to someone in an English accent!





This next photo is the house of someone really famous! Who is it? (30 points) Hint:Google London's tourist attractions and look at the pictures until they match.






- Did you know that in England they call lollies 'sweets'?



This is a map of London's Underground (train system). It is so amazing that even I can use it without getting lost! I'll give you 30 points if you can name three stations on the Piccadilly line.

I am now standing outside of a really old place called the Tower of London. You have to tell me what this place was used for back in the olden days. (10 points)

Can you name three people that were executed here (30 points) and can you tell me the reason why they were executed? (60 points)

To enter the competition, you have to write out the questions and the answers and give them to Esther to mark. She will keep a tally of the scores and then I will bring home a prize for the winner! Remember, my last stop is Disneyland so the prize will likely be from there!

Bye for this week and remember to tune in for next week! Until then, remember to look after each other and your leaders. Keep the three rules and have loads of fun!

Miss you all and am praying for each of you,

love Gen
