I go camping near Edinburgh, it is called Holy Island, when the sea is high you can’t get there, the road gets covered by the sea. England has 4 seas, the Irish sea, the north sea, the English channel and the Atlantic ocean.
Excellent knowledge Andrew! I am so impressed! Your camping holiday sounds really fun! If you could visit anywhere in the UK, where would you visit and why?
I would like to go to see the white cliffs of Dover because there’s lots of birds nesting on them and I like to learn about world war 2, the white cliffs of Dover were important in world war 2.

Well done Maria. What are the four countries that make up the UK?
Great Britain, therefore, is a geographic term referring to the island also known simply as Britain. It’s also a political term for the part of the United Kingdom made up of England, Scotland, and Wales (including the outlying islands that they administer, such as the Isle of Wight).
People born in Scotland are called Scottish or British and can say that they live in Scotland, Britain and/or the UK. Most people in Scotland will say they are Scottish rather than British. … Most people in Wales will say they are Welsh rather than British.
Interesting research Osayu!
