We have been learning about the the different countries playing in the Rugby World Cup.
We had a lucky dip and got given a country. We have been researching our country at home and finding out at least 3 facts about our country.
Today we looked at a World Map. We stuck each flag on the country. We were talking about all of the different countries and the world for over an hour! We just couldn't stop asking questions. Some things we found interesting were:
-Japan is around the same size as NZ but there are about 127million people there and only 4million here! We think they might build tall buildings or they don't have many parks to try and fit everyone in.
-Russia was HUGE!
-Australia is lots bigger than NZ but we still have a better rugby team.
-Africa is actually made up of lots of countries and isn't one place.
-When it was lunch time for us the people in England would be fast asleep because the world turns away from the sun.
-There is a lot of water in the world.
-Some teams have traveled a really long way to get to NZ. If it takes an hour to get to Christchurch from Nelson it must takes almost a day to get to Wales!
