Country studies

Today we started some country studies. We got to choose from 10 countries: Australia, Canada, Chile, England (United Kingdom), Germany, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico,

South Africa & United Arab Emirates.

I obviously decided to do Japan because i'm kinda interested in Japan, plus my grandma is half Japanese, so i guess that makes me an eighth Japanese, which is not much but still.

I've only been there once but I don't even remember going since i was a baby and it was only for a wedding. One day i would like to go around Japan.
JAPANS' FLAG.

Here are some random facts about Japan I learnt!

I learnt that Japan is made of 6852 islands which is A LOT of islands.
Japan has over 50,000 people who are over the age of 100.
685 kids were rushed to hospitals in 1997 after an intense Pokemon episode that caused dizziness, vomiting and seizures.
Theres such a low birthrate in Japan that there are more adult diapers sold that baby diapers.

Raising The Flag

Yesterday, we did an activity called raising the flag. Everyone got into 9 groups of about 3-5. Mr. Wood gave us 10 minutes to plan our pole and flag. We got 5 metres of paper, some tape and string. We were not aloud to get other materials. Jessie, Megan Wyatt and I named our group Disqaulified.

Today, Mr. Wood decided that we would do it again. Great.

This time, nearly everyone did what Mr. Wood and Bree had done, but changed it a little. Ours did even worse than last time.
