geography and
nature
England is on the
island of Great Britain, which also includes Scotland and Wales. England is the
largest country on the island, taking up two-thirds of the area on the island!
It is surrounded by the Irish Sea, North Sea, and Atlantic Ocean, but it is
very close to the mainland of Europe. In just the small area that England occupies,
it has everything from mountains to rivers to hills to lakes to marshes, and
everything in between! Outside of the cities, England is known for being very
green, and usually very cold!
Population
England has 51
million people who live in the country. If you compare this to the 300 million
people who live in the United States of America, this might not seem like a
very big number…but if you compare how big the USA is to how small England is,
you realize that a lot of people live in England! In fact, there is only one country
in Europe that is more densely populated (“densely populated” means how crowded
a place is!). A large chunk of the population in England lives in London, so
you can imagine how crowded that one city must be!
capital city &
important cities
England is split
up into nine regions, and below the regions it is split up into 48 counties.
London, which is the capital of England, is in the London Region. That makes
sense, doesn’t it!
Flag
The flag of
England is a white background with a solid red stripe going across it in the
middle, and another solid red stripe going up-and-down in the middle. This
symbol is called Saint George’s Cross, which represents Saint George, who was a
Roman soldier and priest who died in the year 303 (over one thousand, seven
hundred years ago!).
food
One of the most
famous English food dishes is called “fish and chips,” which is fried fish with
french fries (a really delicious meal!). A lot of England’s meals use meat,
like roast, lamb, chicken, sausage, and beef, and they are known for their
simple approach to food. They might keep it simple in England, but they’re also big on taste! In
England, tea is also a big part of the diet.
