ReplyDeleteIt is great to see that you have been posting on your blog during lockdown and the school holidays. I have enjoyed reading your facts about the Great Wall of China, I didn't know that it took almost a million people to build it. It must be extremely well built to have lasted more than 2000 years. I wonder where the thickest and the tallest parts of the wall are?
Keep up the great work, I am looking forward to reading more of your blog posts while we are working from home.
