Map of the world- Geography

Today we looked  at the globe and the continents of the world.

On my maps I have drawn a blue line where we have been. We have been up and down Queensland and all the way down to Melbourne and Geelong. We have been to New Zealand, Fiji and Vanuatu a few times.  We have been to Europe twice and spent a lot of time there.

What Maths I need to know for this year

We have been doing alot of revision for maths. We have done tests and activities to help us get ready for the next year.  Mum has said I have alot of gaps to fill.

We have the Australian curriculum to work from, but I have this site as well so I know what I have to work towards.

I will use this, as well as the programs mum has bought which are 0  Studyladder, Maths Online, Mathletics and Rainforest Maths.

Year 4 Maths knowledge.

She says there is no excuse now.

Geography report - Poland third draft

Poland is best known for smoked meats and as the country which has been invaded alot. Its been invaded 43 times since the 1600s.

The country located in Eastern Europe. The capital city is Warsaw.

Poland is 312679 km square. That's pretty big but not as big as Australia. You could fit Poland into Australia 23 times.

There is 38 million people in Poland. Wow. Australia has 23 million!

The main language is Polish, but they also speak other languages such as Kashubian (108,000) German (98,000) Belarusian (26,000) Rusyn (6,000) Lithuanian (5,000) Slovak (1,000) Czech (1,000).

The flag has the national colours on it which are white and red white an eagle on it. The national animal is a bielik eagle.

The currency that they use is złotys. They don't use the Euro, eventhough they are in the E.U.

Poland has a democracy. Democracy means everyone gets a chance to say when they vote which party they want to rule the country.

There are alot of festivals in Poland,but the one I like is The Drowning of Marzanna. Its on Death Sunday before Easter. Marzanna is the Goddess of winter seasons. On Death Sunday, people make dolls out of cardboard, straw or paper and throw them into the river, so that winter can be forgotten and Spring can come.

People live in  houses that don't really look like those in Brisbane. Polish houses have three stories and Australian houses have two stories. This is because it is so cold in Poland and it snows.

Catherine the Great was the Queen of Poland and her cousins were Gustav lll and Charles the Xlll, who became kings of Sweden. Catherine the Great was famous because she very beautiful and very powerful.

If you were going to be a tourist to visit this country you would have to see is Bieszczady Mountans,Tatra Mountains, Białowieża Forest and Wawel Castle because they are very beautiful sights , the forest is huge and the castle is breathtaking.

English I need to know.

We have been doing lots of spelling tests and learning grammar, as wellas reading and answering questions on what we read.

Over the next 12 weeks, I have been given some basic grammar things I need to look up and learn, so thats what I am doing with English blogs.

Feedback
Lilly, big improvement on your draft. I've noted in your draft a few things which you need to add in.

Remember names of people and places are proper nouns and they need capital  letters.

Look at the Australian one we did together to see the sorts of things we included.

Next ( and LAST hopefully!) draft  ( you forgot to include these things)

Research what foods are typical there and what some of the yummiest things to eat are.  Put in photos as well.

What festivals or annual events happen?
