## Global Children ### Talk about it 💬 Read the Fact File and talk about how it is different from your school. In our school there are 30 students in a class. ### Reading Strategy: Scanning Scan the text for specific information. When you scan a text, you don't have to read all the text. Just look for the information you need to answer a question or complete a task. ### Fact File The Fact File contains an image of Africa with Kenya highlighted, and the following text: In Kenya, children have to go to school between the ages of six and thirteen. The schools are free, so the parents don't have to pay any money. The class sizes can be very large. Some classes could have as many as 85 pupils per class! Children may share desks and sometimes there aren't enough books or pencils. Four out of ten children don't go on to secondary school because they have to help their families by working the land, cooking and fetching water. ## Jeremiah's Story Jeremiah is 12 years old. He lives in a village in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. Jeremiah lives with his sister, aunt, grandma and his cousin in a small house. Every day, he goes to fetch clean drinking water from a nearby village. On a school day, he always gets up at 5 o'clock. School starts at 6 o'clock, so he usually runs to school to arrive on time. Jeremiah's favourite subjects are Science and English. When he grows up, he wants to be an engineer, so that he can build a proper house for his family and help others who can't help themselves. After school, he does his homework and then he always goes to fetch more clean water from the tap. His favourite food is chapati (a type of bread) with beans and his favourite sport is football which he always plays with his friends after school. His favourite team is Manchester United and his dream is to see them play one day! ### Read Scan the text about Jeremiah above and find the information below: 1. Where does Jeremiah live? 2.
