Great first draft Morgan.  Things to watch
Capital letters for proper nouns.
Spell the country correctly.

Questions still to answer
What other languages are spoken here?  percentages?
How does England compare in size to Australia? (how many times would it fit in there?)
what famous people come or came from England?  What are they known for?
What are the houses like? What is the plumbing like?

Your opinion  - Isn't it a bit weird that the emblem is a lion?  There is actually another animal - what its it?  Put in the photo of the emblem.

Grammar lesson 3 - adjectives

Adjectives are describing words.

They are used a lot to make good sentences. Here an example. “The kids played in the park.” Then with adjectives it could be “The daring kids played in the local slide park.” See how it changes how good it makes it so much more exciting?

Maths lesson 3 times tables

Times tables are another essential thing to math. hey are the building blocks and without them, you can't really do maths.
Times tables are use often to work out big answers and hard numbers.

We have to know all of our times tables this year.

Book review (the mystery of captainsparklez)

Today I read a book called the misty of captainsparklez. This book is from kindle and it's free.
I thought that this was a good book to read if you have 1 hour to spare and it's pretty exiting. I don't want to spoil to much so I'll not go into detail. This book is about a miner called Steve and his three friends and there story of how he got out of a bad  situation.

It would only be good for people who know minecraft.

Spain Geography Report

Spain is best known for its bull fighting, a tomato festival where they throw tomatoes at each other and its good food.

Bull fighting is cruel to the bulls. They all die and are killed horribly. Its just for entertainment and its disgusting.


This looks like a sticky situation. This is the tomato festival. Did yo know that in one town they had to stop people coming in when they had 20 000 people throwing tomatoes. 

They grow a special type of tomato for this. They aren't very  nice to eat. I don't like tomatoes anyway.


Spain is on the left side of Portugal and under France and is in Europe.


Spain is 504,645 km² big. It can fit into Australia 16 times.
The population of Spain is 46.25 million .
