Introduction

This term we have been reading Dragon Keeper and learning about the Han Dynasty.

Have you ever wondered what it is like to live in another country? What games would you play? What kinds of food would you eat? What language would you speak? Imagine going to live in another country, people all over the world move their whole family overseas to live in other countries.

Your mother and father are moving to China, and you need to prepare yourself for your life there. Your job is to research all about China and create a project of your learning.
