Russia

Mikhaila — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 04:57:45 +0000

For the term 2 holiday project we had to pick a country that was participating in the Olympics. I picked Russia because of my backround. Russia seemed like an interesting country.

While the hammer and sickle on a red background will always be associated with the Russian flag, in fact this flag was abolished in 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed.

The current flag is the country’s original flag, and was designed by Peter the Great in the 17th century, after he visited western Europe. The flag, a variation of the Dutch flag, was initially used as a civil ensign for Russian ships. It was officially recognized as the country’s flag in 1799.

The flag is a horizontal tricolore of white, blue, and red. When other eastern European countries began to seek liberation from foreign domination during the 19th century, they also adopted these three colors in honor of Russia. As a result, the colors of red, blue, and white are known as the Pan-Slavic colors.

Hey, That Isn’t How You Scroll Dance!!!

The Olympics have started and had an amazing opening ceremony. They had dancers and fighters and fan dancers and they even had people writing on a giant scroll while they dance! The opening ceremony mixed in with dance and entertainment but they also had Chinese history and tradition. The Opening act was people beating drums that were over 1 thousand years old! I’m amazed that the drums haven’t fallen into a million tiny pieces from old age!

The Olympics have started and will go for 2 weeks and end with the Closing ceremony. I hope the Closing Ceremony won’t go for as long as the opening ceremony! J

The Olympics are so exciting and are so much fun watching! What was your favourite event or athlete? My favourite event was swimming.

I also made a poster for our Olympics.

The Lochness monster

This next 5 weeks i will be studying The Lochness Monster. The Lochness Monster lives in the Loch Ness in Scotland.

Here is some interesting facts about “Nessie”:

1. Although Nessie was sighted as far back as the 6th Century, The modern sightings are the most talked abouts.

2.The first recorded sighting of Nessie on land was by Mr Spicer and his wife on July 2nd 1993.

3.On the 5th January a motorist nearly ran into the monster as he was returning home from Inverness.

If you have any other info, I would be more than happy to know about it!

I believe even if there isn’t a Lochness Monster now there once was!

The process is called I See, I Think, I Wonder.
