• Read about study spaces and then evaluate your own study space. Is it good or bad? Why?

STUDY SPACE – Some tips ·                 It’s useful to have a special place to study. It’s easy to have everything organized and ready there. ·                 If you haven’t got a private place to study, ask your family and friends not to disturb you when you are busy. ·                 It’s ideal to have good light when you read and write. It’s important for your eyes. Light from the window is best in the day. But a reading lamp is important for the evening and night. ·                 Open your window. Fresh air is good too. ·                 A comfortable chair is important. If you aren’t comfortable it’s difficult to concentrate. ·                 It’s important to organize your books in a clear and logical way. Have a special shelf for your school books. ·                 Use different folders for different subjects. Put separate sections in your folders for different topics. Now it’s easy for you to find information quickly. ·                 Have you got a TV/game console/mobile phone/tablet in your room? Turn them off  when you study.

Antarctica has got one other primary school. It’s in Villa Las Estrellas, a Chilean army base. Villa Las Estrellas has got approximately 15 students and two teachers. The teachers in the Antarctic are from Argentina and Chile so the classes are in Spanish.

2. Pumaqangtang is a town with about 1 000 people in it. It’s in Tibet, in the Himalayas. It’s got a primary school. The school is very, very high. It’s at an altitude approximately 5,500 metres. The school has got about 105 students. Their home is in the school. One problem there is a temperature. Some days it’s minus 40° C! The school is about 30 years old. The classes are in Chinese and Tibetan.

3. Gulu village is in Chine. The old primary school is in a spectacular place in a National Park. But it’s very difficult to get there, and very dangerous. And it’s a long journey, because it’s a five-hour walk! The school has got five classrooms but just one teacher. They haven’t got computers. There’s a place to play basketball, but it isn’t easy to play basketball high in the mountains. So now the students have got a new school in different place. The school is big and it’s easy to get to class. Their old teacher is with them in the new school.
