Each week Room 8 Children will be updating our blog with fantastic facts and figures about a country that they have chosen. The country is one that is competing in the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Week 1 of next term will begin with Geographical information. We will be (hopefully) learning how to create a link to Google Earth so everyone can see where our country is.
Comments are always welcome and if you have been to that particular country we would love to hear about your adventures.
