Big Ben got its name from a massive bell that hangs inside the building. The name Big Ben is a nickname for the building in this day and age.
Building Big Ben was no piece of cake, it was actually worth a lifetime for some people then. To us now it's no biggie but it was back then when there was less machinery etc. It took thirty-four years to build.
I think it's wonderful because of all the detail. It represents England and it's something that we all know very well.

Today the pool is used by the locals to swim and enjoy themselves, tourists use it daily on their holidays and it is a tourist attraction.

It is many metres deep, when swimming you are swimming with the fish that didn't go out with the tide.

It gets heated by the sun.

When the tide comes in and camouflages the pool so it is too dangerous to swim in. You can easily get caught by the pool as the tide comes in quickly.

As the tide is controlled by the moon, you swim in the pool at different times on your holiday.

Halong Bay is a beautiful place in Vietnam, Asia. Its a 3 hr drive to get there from Hanoi (capital)
Halong Bay was declared as one of the “New Seven Natural Wonders of The World”. Including over 1600 islands and islets, Halong Bay has incredible limestone pillars, and loads of caves. We went on a small boat and a Vietnamese woman rowed 6 people with just 1 paddle! And then she took us to a floating island and then put us on another boat which took us to a fishing village where people lived in floating houses which were very small and made out of wood. After, they took us to a oyster farm where they grew pearls.
Many of the islands are covered by thick jungle and only monkeys and birds live there.

Halong Bay was peaceful and very pretty especially the sun rise.
the only thing that wasn't very nice was that there was quite a bit of rubbish.

Coral creates calcium carbonate which forms a hard shell like skeleton. The Coral Reef is home to a variety of organisms, including fish, stingray, sharks and sea turtles. There is over 1500 species of fish, including the famous clownfish which features in Finding Nemo. It is a popular tourist attraction contributing to the economy, whilst drawing in 2 million visitors each year.
Climate change is one of the biggest threats to the Coral Reef due to warmer ocean temperatures bleaching the coral, this lead to a decline in species that need the coral reef for survival.
Quick facts

We traveled to Harris on a ferry, from Skye, it was massive. The beaches, scenery and animals were beautiful. We saw dolphins and Highland cows and a lot of sheep. For some animals its a hard life living on the islands. Scotland gets affected by rain and wind storms a lot. We saw wild, black rabbits where we were staying and a loch, with a  boat house. I think the Outer Hebrides is such a wonderful place, despite the snow and rainy weather, because of the beautiful things around you such as nature and scenery, you can look at the boats moving along the water.

# data[].attributes.body
Venice is made up of 118 different tiny islands all connected by its 417 bridges.

The city has exactly 177 canals and is sinking at the rate of 1-2 millimeters a year.

Venice with it's 160 square miles of total area and 3 feet of elevation was not built directly on the land of the islands but in fact on wooden stilts.

Venice was built approximately 1500  years ago and is home to one of the narrowest streets in the world which is only 53cm wide and called Calletta.

It is a hilltop medieval castle in the municipality of Sintra, near Lisbon.

Built by the North African Muslim Moors in the 8th and 9th centuries.

The castle was built to protect the population of Sintra.

The castle was damaged by an earthquake in the 18th  century and was restored by King Ferdinand II.

We visited the castle by riding to the top of the hill in a tuk, tuk, this was really fun.

The views were fantastic as you could see the Atlantic Ocean and Lisbon.

* Mont Blanc (French for "white mount) is the highest mountain in Europe.
* It is situated in a large mountain range, the Alps, which spreads South-East France, Northern Italy and Western Switzerland. Chamonix (pronounced shah-mon-ee) is the resort that Mont Blanc is located in.
* It is around half the height of Mt. Everest - it is 4,810 meters tall, Everest is 8,848 meters tall - and you can tell it is easier to climb as the fist ascent of Everest was in 1953 and the first ascent of Mont Blanc was in 1786 - that is 167 years earlier that Mont Blanc was first scaled!
* The glacier on Mont Blanc is split into four parts; the Mer de Glace, the  Argentière , the Bossons  and the Miage. They run downhill on the mountain itself.
* The Mer de Glace is the most famous part of the glacier.
* Last year I went to Chamonix in the summer. I went for a walk up a small mountain and along the top of the valley to the bottom of the Mer de Glace. As glaciers move slowly downhill, they pick up lots of dirt and rocks, which all eventually ends up at the bottom. Therefore lower down where we were, the ice  had quite a few grey and brown streaks in it, but in the distance, higher up, it was a lot cleaner and whiter.

Big Ben
Big Ben 
Big Ben got its name from a massive bell that hangs inside the building. The name Big Ben is a nickname for the building in this day and age.
Building Big Ben was no piece of cake, it was actually worth a lifetime for some people then. To us now it's no biggie but it was back then when there was less machinery etc. It took thirty-four years to build. 
I think it's wonderful because of all the detail. It represents England and it's something that we all know very well.

Halong Bay
Halong Bay
Halong Bay is a beautiful place in Vietnam, Asia. Its a 3 hr drive to get there from Hanoi (capital)
 Halong Bay was declared as one of the “New Seven Natural Wonders of The World”. Including over 1600 islands and islets, Halong Bay has incredible limestone pillars, and loads of caves. We went on a small boat and a Vietnamese woman rowed 6 people with just 1 paddle! And then she took us to a floating island and then put us on another boat which took us to a fishing village where people lived in floating houses which were very small and made out of wood. After, they took us to a oyster farm where they grew pearls.
Many of the islands are covered by thick jungle and only monkeys and birds live there.

Halong Bay was peaceful and very pretty especially the sun rise.
the only thing that wasn't very nice was that there was quite a bit of rubbish.

When the flag is flying the Queen is at home.

The Palace has 52 Royal and guest bedrooms, 188 for staff and 78 bathrooms (that's a lot of toilets to clean!)

Thousands of people visit Buckingham Palace each year when it is open  to the public. Approximately 420,000 visitors pass through the doors each summer and the Queen also holds garden parties for invited guests, which my Mum went to once.

The Outer Hebrides
The Outer Hebrides
Found at the edge of the Atlantic, and experiencing some of Europe's worst weather on Scotland's wild west cost. The islands that make up the Hebrides are: Cole, Mull, Tyree, Lewis and Harris. I've been to Lewis and Harris which are sort of stuck together in the middle.
We traveled to Harris on a ferry, from Skye, it was massive. The beaches, scenery and animals were beautiful. We saw dolphins and Highland cows and a lot of sheep. For some animals its a hard life living on the islands. Scotland gets affected by rain and wind storms a lot. We saw wild, black rabbits where we were staying and a loch, with a  boat house. I think the Outer Hebrides is such a wonderful place, despite the snow and rainy weather, because of the beautiful things around you such as nature and scenery, you can look at the boats moving along the water.

Salar de Uni
Salar de Uni
Salar de Uni is in Bolivia which is in South America. This was formed by lots of prehistoric lakes. The youngest prehistoric lake was called Coipasa which was formed 13000 years ago. 

This created a large flat area. It may look like ice but however after lakes had dried up they left salt below the thin surface of water. This creates a mirror effect which reflects the sky. The Salar contains 10 billion tons of salt which is enough for lots of fish and chips. Salar means salt flat in Spanish.

There is a small amount of life there but there are giant cactus which grow 1cm per year up to 12 meters tall. Flamingos also breed there.

Angel Falls, Venezuela by William 
Angel Falls in Venezuela is the highest waterfall in the world and is 807 metres tall. This is 19 times higher than Niagara Falls! The towering waterfall drops from the top of Auyantepui mountain. The mighty cascade is named after Jimmy Angel,  an American pilot who landed on top of Auyantepui in 1937 while searching for gold.

Angel Falls was formed more than 130 million years ago. The dense surrounding tepuis jungle makes it feel as if you have gone back in time to a prehistoric age. The tepuis jungle was the inspiration for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 1912 novel "The Lost World." A century later, millions of tourists visit Angel Falls every year.

Tidal Pool Polperro Cornwall
Tidal Pool Polperro Cornwall
Today the pool is used by the locals to swim and enjoy themselves, tourists use it daily on their holidays and it is a tourist attraction.

It is many metres deep, when swimming you are swimming with the fish that didn't go out with the tide. 

It gets heated by the sun. 

When the tide comes in and camouflages the pool so it is too dangerous to swim in. You can easily get caught by the pool as the tide comes in quickly.

As the tide is controlled by the moon,  you swim in the pool at different times on your holiday.

The Great Barrier Reef by Reuben Potter 
The Great Barrier Reef is found in the Coral Sea off the coast of Australia, near Queensland. It is the largest coral reef system in the world with 2,900 reefs and 900 islands. Coral creates calcium carbonate which forms a hard shell like skeleton. The Coral Reef is home to a variety of organisms, including fish, stingray, sharks and sea turtles. There is over 1500 species of fish, including the famous clownfish which features in Finding Nemo. It is a popular tourist attraction contributing to the economy, whilst drawing in 2 million visitors each year. 
Climate change is one of the biggest threats to the Coral Reef due to warmer ocean temperatures bleaching the coral, this lead to a decline in species that need the coral reef for survival. 
Quick facts 
-The Great Barrier reef is the size of about 70million football fields. 
- Due to the sheer size, Astronauts can see it from the moon. 
-It contains some of the deadliest species like the box jellyfish and stone fish.

The vicar said the woman was so pretty she could be a spirit so in order to get married they had to stay away from each other for a year.But they didn't and the vicar found out so he turned the woman into a spirit and the man into a fox.When the woman is crying it creates the Northern lights.

The Grand Canyon is so amazing. It is in the Monument Valley.

Salar de Uyuni
Salar de Uyuni
Salar de Uyuni is in Bolivia , South America . This May look like ice but it is not it is made from water and salt. This was made by lots of different lakes , the youngest prehistoric lake was Coipasa , which was dated to 11,500 to 13,400 years ago . When all of the lakes had gone they left salt at the bottom and a bit of water  on the surface. This reacts as a mirror because it  has got a thin layer of water .

Stone Henge
Stone Henge
Stone Henge is a 5000year old man made stone circle in Wiltshire.

It was started in 3100BC and was built in three stages.

It is made of Preseli Bluestone from South Wales, Sarsen and Welsh sandstone.

The blocks of Bluestone were carried 240 miles and weighed approximately 4 tonnes each. They transported them by river and on sledges with rollers on land.

The large stones are 4.1m high and 2.1m wide.

People think that it might have been used for human sacrifice, as a sundial, or as a piece of astronomy equipment.
