Summer Learning Journey Preparation - Country Research

Hi Bloggers!
Today we have a person named Emma with our class, and she is helping us prepare for our summer learning journey. Our first task was to choose a country to research (We had a list of countries to choose from), and we answer questions about this country we chose; We use google to do our research but we are not allowed to copy and paste.

The country I chose was Australia. Here are the questions I answered:
1. The capital city of Australia is: Canberra.
2. The population of the capital city is: 356,585 (Around the population of which city I live it, which is Christchurch)!
3. In January, the weather of the capital city is usually: 
In January, Canberra, the weather is usually a high of 29 degrees celsius, while at a low it usually sits at 14 degrees celsius. 
4. The capital city is located in: Canberra is located in the 'South East' of Australia. It is in the bottom right corner of the country.  
5. The languages spoken in the capital city are: English. The main languages other than English spoken are: Mandarin (915 people), Vietnamese (802 people) and Cantonese (609 people). The main language other than English spoken in Canberra was Mandarin.

The answers automatically came up on google when I asked the questions. 
I didn't need go into any websites :)

Pet Day Update!

Hi Bloggers!
The other day I told you guys how we made vegetable sculptures on pet day, but now it's time to tell you the rest that happened!

After we made the veggie sculptures, we watched sheep shearing, duck herding, and much more!
Some of us got to meet the judges and write for them. I was one of those people, and I was working with 'Large Dogs'. They had to complete a course, which was: "Go up onto the bench, weave through the cones, go up onto the bench again, and then go around a cone and sprint back". Some dogs were really obedient, but some not!

We also had a coffee cart at our school, a bake sale, and lots more! I brought a hot chocolate from the coffee cart, and the man gave me extra marshmallows!

Here are some pictures from the day:
