Today P5b have been learning the Indian language called Tamil, and we know how to say hello,please and thank-you. To pronounce hello it is difficult  and to say please and thank-you it is easy.We will be learning more all this week.

In class we have been learning lots of stuff about India and its main religion which is Hinduism. What they believe and their gods.We have also been learning  the Tamil language.  The capital city of India  is Delhi,then we found out that India’s population is 1,15 billion! Indian money is called rupees. The continent India is in is Asia. India’s flag has a meaning, it has three stripes and a wheel in the middle the orange stripe represents Islam and the green stripe represents Hinduism and the wheel on the white stripe means peace for both religions. The longest river in India is the River Ganges.

In class  we  have been learning about  the Indian national things, such as their emblem, animal, bird, sport, fruit, tree and flower. The emblem stand’s for power, courage and confidence.  The emblem is four lions standing back to back . The national tree is called the fig tree it is also called the Banyan Tree.  The national bird is a peacock , it stands for beauty, grace and pride .  The national animal is a tiger it stands  for grace , strength and it’s incredible power.  The national sport is hockey. The national fruit is  a mango. The national flower stands for life, honour and good fortune.

Today we learned to say hello and goodbye we also made posters all about Russia also we made the Kremlin! It is a palace, where MPs live and a museum! Also I think its unfair the children in Russia start school when they are 7! Also for them school starts at 8.30 and finishes at 1.30!  Although my brother Thomas told me all of them have to join the army for 2 years after they have finished school!
