Scotland arrives in Southland

Room 12 have completed their Banner

Heading upstairs at Invercargill Airport

Attaching the Banner for all to see

Wow doesn't it look fantastic?!

Yesterday the Scottish rugby team were arriving in Invercargill.  Mrs Rolton thought this would be a good opportunity to welcome the team to our city.  We made a banner by adding flags, Scotsman playing the bagpipes and a Loch Ness monster.  Thanks to Mrs McCambridge and Mrs Dallas taking us to the airport, while Mrs Rolton waited patiently to hear about our adventure. 
We had so much fun and discovered these things about Scotland...
The Scottish flag has a navy blue background and a white cross.  It is called the St Andrew cross or Saltire.  It is one of the oldest flags in the world, dating back to the 12th century.
A Scotsman wears a kilt that is made out of tatan.  Tatan designs belong to clans - we think clans are like a family or iwi.
The Loch Ness Monster is a mysterious unidentified freshwater creature.  We think this is like a myth, it might be like a taniwha.

Well it is all very exciting - we have been allocated the schools for our QuadBlogging journey that will go to the end of the school year.  We will be visiting, commenting and hopefully making some other connections like Skyping with the following schools in the world.

Check out our World Map and see where in the world these schools are.  You could extend your knowledge with some research of their Flag, Population, National Anthem, National Symbols, time zone and what season they are in at the moment.

Also are any of these countries participating in the Rugby World Cup?
