1. More than 80 percent of New Zealand’s population are Britons or Europeans. That's why the New Zealand school system is similar to the British one. Education is free and compulsory for children between the ages of 6 and 16.The school year starts in January (after the summer holidays) and ends in December. In most schools wearing a school uniform is obligatory. For New Zealand teenagers daily life takes place in school where they stay up to the late afternoon.
2. Canada occupies most of the northern North America continent as well as some islands. It stretches from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west. It's also washed by the Arctic Ocean in the north. The country was discovered in 1497 by John Cabot, an Italian sea captain. About 2% of the Canadian territory is covered with ice. The eastern part of the country is mainly valleys and plains. The western territories are made up of the Cordilleras.
3. Most Americans simply call the Independence Day the “Fourth of July”. It always falls on this day, and it celebrates the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. At that time, the people of the 13 British colonies were involved in a war which had begun in 1775. The colonists were fighting for freedom from the English. The Declaration of Independence stated it clearly. For the first time in history the colonies were defined as the United States of America.
4. With great weather, great events and terrific crowds Australia Day in Melbourne in 2010 was one of the best ever! It is a day for all Australians to get together and, in whatever way they choose, celebrate being Australian. 1788 is when the British Fleet first arrived at Sydney Cove and lifted the British flag. Now, major cities throughout the country celebrate the national day with parades, free food, and different events.

of the River Thames. The Centre is home to some rare and beautiful wildlife including over 180 species of birds, bats, grass snakes, slow worms and butterflies.

You can walk among the lakes, ponds and meadows or join free guided tours and learn more about this fantastic 42 hectare wildlife reserve. You can feed ducks, geese and swans from around the world. If you are tired, you can have a cup of coffee and delicious home-made cakes in the café.
In the Adventure Area young visitors can go through great water vole tunnels, climb the vertical wall, play water games in the Discovery Centre or watch our Planet Water film in the cinema. At weekends and during the school holidays there are additional activities for them, for example, a nightmare safari. It’s a favourite with children and teenagers. But, according to the rules, children under 16 years old must be accompanied by an adult.
