Before we get started, here is a PowerPoint to remind you about France. Click HERE
This week, we are going to learn about the Tour de France. The Tour de France is a big cycling event held every summer. The Tour de France has not been cancelled this year but it is being held in the autumn instead.
The cyclists in the Tour de France race during the morning and afternoon for 21 days! The race is 3,500km long. That's like cycling the length of Ireland more than 7 times!
HERE is a link to a video celebrating the Tour de France.

Australian Animals
You have already done some fantastic art about Australian animals. Now it's time to learn a little more about some of them. For English writing this week you will be writing a report about an Australian animal. The next video shows you some real native Australian animals.
You can jump to each animal at these times:
Figure it out: I wonder why these animals have not spread to other countries around the world?
