Hi! This week’s blog challenge is all about our Euro country. Our class used an online spinning wheel to determine who got which country. I got Russia, and that’s why I’ll be providing some information on Russia.

This is the Russian flag. As you can see, the top colour is white, the colour in the middle is blue and the colour in the bottom is red.

The capital city of Russia is Moscow. Moscow is a beautiful city which remarkably has the most billionaires in the whole world.

Russia is the biggest country in the world. When you compare the size of Australia and the size of Russia, you will notice that Russia could fit about two and a half Australia’s.

There are many places to visit in Russia. But there are a few destinations that have become quite popular. For example, Saint Petersburg, known for it’s hermitage, white nights and ballet. Another popular destination is lake Baikal. This huge Siberian lake is known for it’s hiking and wildlife.

Russia is a huge country and has many bordering countries, two of them being Mongolia and Georgia.

Russia is home to the longest railway, the second largest art museum and many billionaires.

 

Persuasive Paragraph:

Russia is well known for many things. From it’s beautiful capital, Moscow, to Baikal, a huge siberian lake perfect for hiking, trekking or just a picnic! Russia is located mostly in Asia, but there is a chunk of Russia located in Europe. This is perfect because you can get the best of both worlds. Pelmeni is a very famous Russian food. it is even considered Russia’s national dish. Talk about delicious! Russia is full of culture, and has remarkable architecture. If you want to go an holiday, Russia is the place to be. There are only too many reasons for why Russia is a great country.

Hello! This week’s blogging challenge is: Schools around the world. I will be relating my experiences in Wilderness against my Experiences in an Indian school.

In Wilderness, The first part of the day, (8:30-9:00 A.M.) is form time, meaning that we can utilise that time to finish homework, or even play a game of Hangman 😉

In India, We don’t have form time, we normally start our first lesson at 8:30 A.M. Our first lesson is likely English or Maths. Which is always a bore.

In Wilderness, We spend the first ten minutes of lunch eating. At the end of ten minutes, a bell chimes and we’re allowed to play outside (or go to the library, if you want to). 🙂

Back to India. over there, The lunch bell will but that doesn’t mean that everyone sits down and eats. Oh no, You’ll see the whole school running around trying to play soccer. We weren’t allowed inside the library either, which means that all the students who want to hide from the teachers have to look somewhere else.

And lastly, I want to talk about how COVID-19 has changed both the countries. Wilderness switched over to online classes for around 3 weeks, but after the COVID died down, they were allowed to open they’re gates and let the students pour in!

Unfortunately, COVID in India is not getting any better, so schools have been forced to have online classes, starting in June 2020 and still going on (don’t be surprised, i had online classes for 8 months) ;D

And that’s it. I hope you enjoyed reading this week’s blog post. Byee!
