  1. Hi I am Sydney and these are my thoughts about India and Australia...

    Australia
    I thought Australia was really fun we got to go surfing!!! We also met queen Elisabeth and sang happy birthday to her in opera!!! And we did that in the Sydney Opera house!!! We also got to go to school in the outback!! Did you know that kids in Australia had to do school on the weekends?? They used a walkie talkie to communicate from home.
    Those are my favorite parts in Australia!!

    India
    In India we went to the market and tried some food and got an Indian coin we could spend that coin or keep it and I kept mine!! We tried some food in the market we tried mango juice and something else that was spicy. And then we got to attened an Indian wedding!!! We learned what they wear and what makeup they put on.
    And those are some things that I liked about India

  2. I learned that in Australia at the beach, if there is a yellow flag it means there are sharks in the water. In India I learned that weddings are usually three days long. Also, in Australia I learned that wombats have pouches. In India, I also learned that sixty-six percent of their population live in the country and are farmers. Australia was my favorite to learn about because we got sponge cake, shark-teeth and we learned about marsupials in Australia.

  7. I liked surfing in Australia! I liked the yummy cake and chocolate in Australia. The dessert was called a Lamington and is popular there.
    I never knew that there were 200 languages spoken in India. I thought the spices in India were delightful and very bright colors, but they were strong. I never knew that the design of the Opera house was made to look like a peeled orange, I thought that was interesting. I never knew that the Great Barrier reef was as long as 70 million Kinkaid football fields. I learned that Indian money was called Rupe. My neck would really hurt from carrying potatoes in the fields.

  8. International Fair was AMAZING!!!! My favorite part about Australia was the surfing. I never knew they surfed a lot in Australia! I loved the cake covered in chocolate and the root beer! I never knew the top of the Sydney Opera House was supposed to look like orange peels! Throwing the boomerangs was fun! Mine got stuck in a tree!!! My favorite part about India was the food! The mango juice tasted like a smoothie, and the samosa was really good! I also learned that potatoes are very popular in India! Did you know it is common to have an arranged marriage in India? The Taj Mahal is one of the seven wonders of the world, and it took about twenty years to build! Those are some facts that I learned during International Fair!!!!

  10. I loved International Fair. My favorite activities this year were the surfing in Australia and the market in India. My favorite food was the samosa! It was so good and spicy! My favorite drink was the root beer stuff in Australia. I thought it was surprising that most of the people in India live in the countryside and not the city. My favorite country was very close but I liked India a little better because they taught us more things. Their culture is very interesting. Thats what Iearned at International Fair - REECE OUT!

  11. My favorite thing in Australia out of it all has to be surfing. But here is what I did. I sang to queen Elizabeth the 2nd in the Sydney opera house. We also went to school in Australia, we also threw boomerangs (mine fell into a fake fire).
    My favorite thing in India is when I went to the market and tried the food the samosa was good(and spicy!!!). Also the Mango juice was amazing. India had so many smells and spices. I learned that Indian wedding dresses were orange not white.
    My favorite country is Australia

  15. My favorite thing that we did in Australia was throwing the boomerangs at the parrots because it was hard and fun. In India I liked the village home because it was very fun hearing about the animals and school there. I also liked the surfing in Australia because you think you are going to fall off but you don't. And then in India the spices smell like a lot of pepper. So that is a few thing about India and Australia.
