BUNNY COOPER GOES TO TOWN

Hello, this is Bunny Cooper.

Bunny Cooper lives in Oxfordshire, England. That is a very long way from the USA, right across the Atlantic ocean, which by the way friends is very, very wet! 

He wears a red hat and a white scarf, he is not too short-about 17" tall and that's a good size for him.

Bunny Cooper has the travelling bug, that means he can't stay in one place for very long and always wants to travel around. 

Recently Bunny Cooper went on a trip to Covent Garden , that's in London town, he went on the tube (also called the underground). 

 

Covent Garden used to be called Convent Garden, it was a vegetable garden where the monks (they were Christian people who wore long brown dress type things and were very holy), this was in about 1550 (that's the year by the way-it's a long time ago and if you want to know how long you might need to do the maths-take 1550 away from 2018).

There are lots of exciting happenings going on in Covent Garden. There is a market which sells all sorts of things like military uniforms and medals, handmade soaps, jewelry, sweets and lots of street artists who put on little shows. Bunny Cooper saw a huge Christmas tree and quickly jumped up to sit in it and have his photo taken, see;

Can you see me?

Time to go, back on the tube and see the dentist!

Bunny Cooper has a appointment at the dentist, he always takes good care of his teeth and brushes them each night before he goes to bed, then of course when he gets up in the morning he brushes them again to get rid of any of the nasty germs, he eats lots of carrots to keep his teeth nice and sharp like a bunny should have. 

He was such a good boy that the dentist gave him a special sticker too.

Bunny Cooper is a very educated rabbit; he knows lots and lots of things and mostly can answer any question that you ask. If you want him to help you with your homework or are just a bit puzzled about something and wanted to know the answer, then send him a comment and he will be sure to help you. 

Where is Bunny Cooper going next? I can let you into a little secret friends, he is going on Eurostar, that's a train that goes all the way from London to France and guess how it does that? Did you guess correctly? Yes-it goes underneath the big channel which is called the English Channel, it's between England and France. It goes through something called the Channel Tunnel, the journey takes two hours and fifteen minutes,  then Bunny Cooper will arrive in Paris at a station called Gare du Nord. Now that is a French railway station, the name Gare du Nord means Northern Station in the French language, when Bunny Cooper crosses the Channel he will have to use the French language and he has been practicing very hard. 

Will you follow Bunny Cooper on his adventures friends? He will be going much further through France by train, then on to Italy. They have a different language there as well, it's called Italian. He will be studying hard to learn some words in that language too as he thinks that if he goes to another country he should be able to speak to people in their own language-do you agree with him?
His journey starts on 6th February, that's a Tuesday and in just 10 days time, isn't that exciting?
