This week’s focus country was Pakistan and the students heard a little about the traditions associated with it. They were surprised to learn that English was the official language, and that field hockey is the national sport, even though cricket is more popular.

After a spell on I am Learning they were lucky to have the opportunity to do some cricket themselves with visiting coach Dan before tackling the cricket tour task which required them to locate four cities on a map of Pakistan, work out the distances between them and begin to work out the costs involved.

At the end of the session the young people tried out a range of celebration sweets which might be eaten at festivals or special occasions.
