As we all know, there are plenty of different parks to visit in theUK. All theme parks inBritainhave cafes,

restaurants, picnic areas and gift shops, so you'll still have plenty to see and do when you and the kids have been

on enough rides. There are usually smaller “funfair“ rides and games as well, so younger children won't get bored.

Several theme parks also have other attractions next to them, e. g. water parks often open all year round, unlike

the theme parks.

Whenever you are inBritain, there's likely to be a theme park within one or two hours,drive, bus ride or

train journey. Several theme parks even have accommodation(膳宿)so you can stay for a day or two if you want to

make a trip into a short holiday.

Prices forUKtheme parks vary considerably; some have an entrance price which allows you to go on all the

rides, while in others you have to pay for every ride individually. It can also make a difference whether you go

during peak time or not. For example, tickets always cost more during school holidays and weekends than they do

during the weekdays.

Theme parks always get very busy during the summer months, so if you don't like crowds ifs usually a good

idea to go earlier or later in the year!

If you're thinking of visiting aUKtheme park, it's worth having a look for special offers on tickets. Products

such as chocolate bars and cereals sometimes have " buy one get one free" offers on theme park tickets, so keep a

Jon Pedley is making a big change. He is giving up his life as a businessman for a life of helping others. He is

trading his beautiful farmhouse in England for life in a mud hut in Uganda, East Africa.

Pedley admits that he has notalways led a very positive life. At times he drank too much and got in trouble

with the law. “I’ve always put the pursuit of money in front of everything else. As long as I was all right, I didn’t

care who I was hurting, ” says Pedley.

But a visit to Uganda in 2007 gave Pedley a new outlook on life. He was amazed at what he saw and how

much the people there appreciated the work he was doing. “I worked there for a few days and these people who

have nothing were thanking me by giving me bags of potatoes, which are a fortune for them,” he said.

Now Pedley is selling his business, his $1.5 million farmhouse, and his expensive car — and moving into a hut

made of mud and boards in a small Ugandan village. There he will help run an organization that hopes to improve

the quality of life for people in the village of Kigazi. He will help to build schoolrooms for children and tanks to hold

clean water for villagers. Today, people in Kigazi must walk two miles to a hospital, so Pedley will help to build

doctors’ offices, too.

Pedley’s organization will also work with English teenagers who are in trouble. The teens will be sent to a

“camp” in Uganda that Pedley will run. The teens will live in mud huts and help to build water, health, and

education facilities for kids in Kigazi, many of whom have lost their parents to poverty or disease. Pedley hopes the

teens will see a side of life that might help them turn around their own lives and set them on a new and more

positive path.

Kids ages 6 to13 inCape Town,South Africa, really do dig learning at school! With the help of the Earthchild Project,

which is offered in schools in two townships, students make worm(蠕虫) farms. The worms break down food

waste and make the soil richer. Kids grow seedlings(幼苗) in containers and learn about the importance of good

nutrition.

The school program also offers yoga(瑜伽). Teachers find that the exercises help students focus better. The

students enjoy Earthchild activities. “The children gets so excited”, says teacher Vuyelwa Rola.

“The society we are in has a lot of noise. When students are taking part in the Earthchild Project, they feel calm.”

Director Janna Kretzmar came up with the idea for the project in 2005. She read about schools inIndiathat

involved kids in yoga and learning outside the classroom. She developed the Earthchild Project to offer similar

activities inCape Townschools.

“We hope the Earthchild Project can help students find solutions to all the challenges they are facing in the world

today,” Kretzmar said. “The best place to create change is with the youth, through education.”

The Earthchild Project combines schoolwork with hiking, gardening, healthy living, and yoga. “We need more than

just math and science to become happy, healthy, inspired, and active citizens of our communities,” says Kretzmar.

In some communities inCape Town, children live in poverty. They must walk long distances to get clean drinking

water. Life is hard. But according to the Earthchild Project’s Carly Appleby, the project works to give hope to every

child. “Students who have hope,” she says, “aim for bigger goals”.
