Percy goes to Italy

This week Percy sent us a postcard from Italy.  He visited The Colosseum, The Leaning Tower of Pisa and sailed on a gondola in Venice.  Here are some pictures...

Percy told us in his postcard that the pizza in Rome was 'delizioso'.

Percy Visits China

This week Percy sent us a postcard from Beijing, the capital city of China.  He visited Tiananmen Square, The Great Wall of China, a zoo where he saw some giant pandas and the National Stadium (Bird's Nest). That was the one that had you all guessing what that strange looking building actually was! Here are some pictures Percy sent to us.

Around the World in 40 Days

AROUND THE WORLD IN 40 DAYS

Welcome to 1Blue's blog.  This term we are learning about countries around the world.  Our class mascot, Percy Penguin will be travelling around the the world to help us learn about different people and their cultures.  We said farewell to Percy last Friday.  Today we received a parcel from Percy.  He sent us a postcard from Ayres Rock.  He wrote many interesting facts about Uluru.  He also included many pictures of things relating to Australia.  We can't wait for next week to see where he will travel to next.  We will be asking Percy questions about different countries.  Hopefully he has the time to answer some of them or just maybe someone else out there might be able to help us find the answers...
