Country Day


U.S.A.                                
RUSSIA                ITALY       JAMACIA                             CANADA                 AUSTRALIA             SPAIN




These are just a few countries that were involved in our Country Day. We got passports to take down to the airport (A.K.A the hall). We got seated in the plane and we took off after a couple of delays like Helicopters passing by.       


                                      U.S.A.


Then the planes landed and everyone was in a new country. People were in India, China etc. We are going to tell you about the states of America. In America their national anthem is called"The Star-Spangled Banner." We also learned that there is 50 states in America and the 50 stars on the banner represent them. We also saw Captain America!!!!! Really it's Mr Clarke in a costume. The capital of America is Washington D.C. The Capital of Washington D.C is Olympia.


                                              RUSSIA 






       Russia is the largest country in the world(and coldest). It homes the space shuttle company N.A.S.A, and Russian citizens wear traditional clothing and play with traditional toys such as babushka dolls. We then made our own babushka dolls using babushka doll templates, coloured card strips, glue, scissors and pencil crayons.


The class got the babushka templates and coloured their own designs. They cut them out, and stuck them to different sized coloured card strips, ( the biggest template goes with the biggest strip etc.) Then put them inside each other and you have made your own babushka doll!








                                           ITALY                




In Italy, the first pizza was made. A chef thought one day he could make flat bread more interesting. He went home and added a sauce and put on toppings, red tomatoes, green herbs and white cheese. These stand for the colours on the Italian Flag. It was named after the Queen. We then made our own mini pizza's.

3G's assembly

On the 1st of June class 3G did their class assembly. It was on authors and the books they wrote.


First they did Cliffhanger. We met Tim,
Biscuits, Kelly and Michal and learnt their story.
They taught us how Michal was a busy body who
loved sports, Kelly was a stubborn girl who loved
her tiny doll, Tulisa, Biscuits was a boy who loved biscuits and Tim was a shy boy and a mummy's boy.















After they acted out part of the story of Bill's new Frock. Bill woke up in the morning and his ma told him to get into a pink polka dotted frock/dress. He was forced to wear it to school. His friends wouldnt let him play football and blamed him for wasting their break. 









Next, outside they brought out the dasterdly Twits. Mrs Twit was digging up worms to put in Mr Twit's spaggetti to pay him back for the frog-in-the-bed-trick!

Mr Twit ate the spaggeti dish and he asked why his spaggeti was moving and bitter. Mrs Twit cried out 'cause it's worms, ha ha ha!'









To end their class assembley their class did an exellent dance for everyone!
