Peru and New Zealand!
Wow! We had two wonderful international trips this week! I am so exhausted from all the travel. Please share your favorite parts of each visit. Also, please share your new learning from each country. Do you have any lingering questions?
My favorite part about New Zealand was that they had our art we made in art and that the costumes look so real. One thing I learned about New Zealand is that the Kiwi bird is endangered and that the fur looks like the outside or a Kiwi. Ok now PERU my favorite part playing SAPO and watching them die clothes. Last but not least the souvenirs where AWESOME. Some BK about Peru is that soccer is called fotball. NL New Zealand has Christmas in JULY! WOW I so want to go there. In Peru the red dart frog has enough poison to kill 10 grown men!!
I loved taking field trips to New Zealand and Peru. There may be no more field trips, but we still get to go to two different countries! I liked New Zealand, but I think I was more interested in Peru. In New Zealand, I really liked the Waitomo cave. In Peru, my favorite parts were the Amazon Forest, and the Sappo game. In New Zealand, They believed how Maui lassoed the Sun, and How the Moon took Rona. I wonder if the Nazca lines in Peru were sending a message. What if something strange was going on there? Also, my grandfather was born in Lima, Peru, so he knows a lot about it. I would really like to visit one of those one day, but if I could choose one, I would probably choose New Zealand.
I loved the international fair trips! My favorite part in New Zealand was the volcano. My favorite part in Peru was the sapo game.I also liked the video. My new learning in New Zealand was that they have a lot of sheep. My new learning in Peru was that the poison dart frog is the most poisonous animal in the world. It was so cool viseting those places.
I loved Peru and New Zealand. It was so fun in Peru I loved playing El Sapo some new learning I had was that bull fighting was really popular in Peru. In New Zealand I liked the flight simulator and some new learning I had was that there Christmas was hot instead of cold and there Christmas tree was not cut down. In New Zealand barbie meant barbecue. In New Zealand I thought the exploding volcano was really cool.
I had so much fun in both countries. I liked New Zealand because my Mom was Santa. Did you know? New Zelanders have Christmas in July! I loved Peru because we got to play the real live Sapo I got 500 points and 600 points. Did you know? Sapo meant frog. I also liked the market in Peru. I thought it was cool that you used bugs and fruits as die. It was so FUN!
I loved Peru and New Zealand. My favorite part in Peru was when we made the thing that you use when you make stuff like blankets or scarfs. My favorite part in New Zealand was when we put the headphones on and watched the video of the plane flying in New Zealand. I learned that 1 poison dart frog can kill 10 people and people get to skip school to make stuff. And I didn't know that lord of the rings and hobbit were filmed in New Zealand! I also loved the earth qauke in New Zealand. I loved playing the sapo game I got 300 points in the game.
I loved the game sap. I think that it was really fun. I found out that it was harder than I thought to get the sapo. I really liked the flight simulator because it actually looked like we were flying! I think the volcano idea was really cool. And I learned the Poisson dart frog can kill 10 men. I wonder when Lake Titicaca was found.
This year international fair was awesome! New Zealand and Peru were amazing. Peru I learned that there are over 30 types of potatos. The Poison dart frog is the most poisonous animal on the planet. In Peru they make there own clothes. Lake Titicaca is the highest lake in Peru. It is 2 miles above Houston. Peru was amazing! New Zealand
New Zealand makes a lot of butter from there sheep. They also have Christmas in July. The air plane simulator was cool. It was like you were actually in a plane. The erupting volcano was cool. New Zealand is awesome!
I loved Pure and New Zealand! It was really fun to go on New Zealand air lines. Also I liked the volcano that erupted! In Peru I saw Sapo and Manchu Pichu. I found out how they die there clothes. Also I saw a llama and the poison dart frog. It can kill 10 people! I saw the amazon rainforest to! If I had to go to one of the countries I would rather go to new Zealand. I loved the countries!
I loved the two countries. In Peru, I liked the airplane and beach. In Peru, I thought the sápo was amazing! I learned that in New Zealand they have Christmas in July! In Peru they had animal boats! I can't wait for the next International Fair!
New Zealand and Peru were so much fun. In Peru there was el sãpo its where you throw coins into a magic frog.There is also a lot of bull fighting. Lord of the Rings was filmed in New Zealand. One Poison dart frog can kill ten people. Hobbit was also filmed in New Zealand.
I loved International Fair! My favorite country was New Zealand. One fact about Peru is that in Lake Titicaca there are islands that are man made and people live there! Another fact is the Peruvian people believe there is a magical frog that lives in Lake Titicaca. It is called El Sapo. If you throw a gold coin in its mouth it will grant you a wish. A fact about New Zealand is that there are 500 volcanos surrounding New Zealand! That's a lot of volcanos! Also they have Christmas in the summer! New Zealand has a lot of sheep. But I wonder how many sheep there are. If I could go to one of those counties right now I would go to New Zealand. Which one would you go to?
I loved going to New Zealand and Peru! It was so much fun! But I think if i had to pick one it would be Peru. Not that Im against New Zealand or anything. New Zealand has summer in December witch is so cool .Peru they have so manny lamas ! I wonder if New Zealand has a super bowl for rugby?
I loved Peru and NewZealand. In New Zealand was was the volcano other things like the tv thing the coy balls., In in Peru the poison dart frog can kill seven grown men. It was also cool how they made dye and the interments were cool and Machu Picchu was discovered in 1911 that was a long time ago. there was a magical frog that lived in this lake it was called lake Titicaca. if you brought a patch of gold coins and you through it right in the frogs moth he would turn to gold and grant you a wish. another thing in NewZealand is that Christmas is in July he has ben sighted paragliding and surfing. oh and 500 volcanos surround New Zealand.
I loved New Zealand and Peru. They were so much fun! My favorite thing in New Zealand was the airplane trip! New learning was that I had no idea that Lord of the Ring and the Hobbit was filmed in New Zealand! And I loved Peru! My favorite thing was the middle part which is the grocery store! I learned that Lake Titicaca was the highest lake in Peru! And that was a WOW fact and that lames live in Peru and that they have a bunch of food there! And that some kids get skip school to make clothes which seems pretty hard! That the piousness dart frog can kill five PEOPLE and that is unbelievable! That is so much people for such little dude he is six centimeters long and that can kill ten people that is so much!
I don't know how I can say this, but this International Fair was so fun, and I don't know how the Kinkaid moms manage to put this together, and I just want to tell them thank you for all of their hard, hard work. Every year, I tend to like one country better than the other, but this year, I just can't choose! Let's start with Peru: 1. The ancient FLOATING ISLANDS!!!! Seriously, a weed that grows along the muddy riverbed of Lake Titicaca (an ancient river that is often included in legends that originated from Peru) is enough to hold up- never mind construct- houses, huts, and even an entire man-made island????? Wow. I mean it. The moms were really kind and I loved learning the interesting facts that they told. We got to hold maracas that were made out of some cowrie shells (I think) and play rainmaker thingies. They were long sticks that, when you turned them on their sides, made a rattling noise that sounded like musical raindrops in a rainforest. 2. The ancient ruins of the mountains of Machu Picchu, and the 'long, tiring' hike through the trail (that led to a fun market) In there, we saw the ancient Inca temples in Machu Picchu, and after a while hiking, we got to a tiny market. There, we saw llama wool tied into yarn, and we saw them grind a sort of bug into powder. Then, you can put the wool into a small cup, fill the cup with water, pour the powder in, and mix with a stick. Eventually, you could lift the yarn out of the cup and discover- Voila!- the yarn changed color! That is how the Peruvians make their clothes bright and vibrant. 3. SAPO!!!!!!! The sapo game was so fun! We learned about the different Inca foods. One of the spices was so strong. I should've plugged my nose. My wonder is that, what if the Incas used the Nazca Lines in Peru to send messages? That would of been very fun. I could go on and on about New Zealand, but I would be here all day!
International Fair was so fun. I loved Peru because of the el sapo and seeing how the dye was made. I loved New Zealand because of the beach and the plane ride! I can't wait for next year's International Fair.
My favorite part for Peru is el sapo. Iy was so much fun playing sapo. My favorite part of New Zealand was probably watching the airplane video. My new learning for New Zealand was that they have Christmas in July. I learned that the poison dart frog con kill 10 grown men.
