Super busy week 6!

We have been very busy, however, we have not forgotten about our blog.


This week we travelled to India.


The Indian flag is green, white, orange and navy blue. We learnt all about why they have used these colours. Did you know the Indian flag was adopted in 1947 when they became independent from Great Britain.


India is in South Asia. It is in between China, Pakistan and Nepal. The capital city is New Delhi.


India is the seventh largest country in the world.


There are two main religions in India. They are Hinduism and Muslim. There are other religions there like Christians and Buddhists.


The Taj Mahal is a well known building that is thought to be the most beautiful in the world. It was built in Agra, by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. It is a symbol of eternal love.


On Tuesday we were given a map on India. We had to read the instructions to label the cities, countries and mountains on the map. We had to carefully read the instructions and make sure we knew our directions, north, south, east and west.


We spent some time yesterday making some Rangoli artwork with Mrs W. It is a traditional type of artwork that people in India do. It took us a while to make them, but they look fantastic.

Christmas is coming around quickly. We have our school concert in just over a week. We have been busy practising. Today we have a whole school practice. We hope we do well.

We best get going, plenty of work to do.

Have a wonderful day.
