Why are holiday important

 Why are holiday important

I am waiting in class doing my work and for school to finish. I look up at the clock and then we pack up and go sit on the mat. Then the bell rings and our teacher says have a good holiday. Then we all run outside to go home.

Holidays are important to have as you don't want to work all year without a holiday.This would cause less stress and you could sleep in instead of having  to worry about getting  up and go to work or school.

It helps you to catch up with family and friends. When you're on holiday it gives you a rest from school and from the teachers and  you don’t have to worry about doing homework.

Therefore holidays are very important in our lives and as a result, we all need holidays  to regenerate .

My New Knowledge about the Commonwealth Games  

 

The Commonwealth Games started on the 24 July and  the closing ceremony is on the 4  August. The Commonwealth Games are described as the third largest multi-sport event in the world.

The British  Empire Games (1930-1950), now called The Commonwealth  Games started in the year 1930 and the Commonwealth Games were held every four years except the years 1942 and 1946 . The Commonwealth Games were cancelled due to  World  War  Two.

The first Commonwealth Games were held in Hamilton, in Canada . The second Commonwealth Games were held in the capital city of England which is London, in  the year 1934 and the third  Commonwealth Games were held in Sydney in the year 1938 and in 1950  the Commonwealth Games were held in Auckland  New Zealand. The last time the Commonwealth Games  were in Scotland was in the year 1986. In the year 1930 there were 11 countries and 400 hundred athletes were taken  part  in 59 events .  The  Commonwealth Games  are like the Olympics Games.

 This year the Commonwealth Games are held in Scotland
