Mexico is in South America and has 122.3 million people.









Mexicos favourite food is Enchiladas. It is made with a corn tortilla rolled around a filling and covered with a chilli pepper sauce.


Two of Mexico’s animals are the Manatee and the Jaguar.

The Manatee has brownish-gray skin and a large body. They are also known as sea cows because they only eat vegetables.


Jaguars are big cats and it has four sharp teeth. Jaguars are the third largest cats . Jaguars are only found in America. Jaguars like water and are good swimmers. Some Jaguars have black spots and some are all black.

Athletics Day

ATHLETICS

On Wednesday 23rd of November 2016 our school did athletics. In athletics we had discus, shot put, high Jump, hundred metre sprint, and relays. My favourite one is high jump because when you make it over the bar you get another turn and the bar gets higher and higher. But when you don’t make it over the bar you just have to watch other people do the high jump.

Hundred metre sprint you have to run hundred metres and back you don’t jog you run because sprint means run.
Next one is relays. In relays you need to have two rows of four people. In each row you need four tubes. The first row has to run to the second row and the second row has to run  to the end and back to the first row so they can go back then choose first, second and third.

In discus you have to get a discus and have to move your arms across three times in the third one you release the discus and then measure the distance where the discus landed.

After that is shot put. In shot put you have to grab a heavy shot put. If you're left handed you face the left side, if you're right handed you face the right side. You bend your knees and turn four times when you throw you use all the power then throw. I don’t like shot put because it’s very hard to throw.

Pyramids are 139 meters long and the Sphinx of Giza is twenty meters long. Egyptians built the pyramids as tombs, and there are about eighteen today in ancient Egypt. Most of the ancient pyramids were made from tombs for Pharaohs, the ancient Egypt ruler.

Egyptian children come fast and the population is rapidly going higher. About 80 to 90 percent of egyptians are Muslims. Egypt is home to a wide variety of animals and also plants, including cheetahs, hyenas, crocodiles and cabras.The best places to see Egypt's wildlife are in its 21 protected regions.

The colours of the Egyptian flag are red, white and black with a golden eagle in the white strip.The Egypt colours stand for revolution, future and the black revolutions.

The most popular dance in Egypt is the belley dance, and there is a dance for men called the stick dance.
