Wow! There are lots of famous people who are originally from this little nation. I especially liked reading about Princess Diana because I remember watching her royal wedding when I was a child. I didn't realize that she was one of the most photographed people in the world, but I did know that she was beloved by many. I also liked reading about Charles Dickens. He was a famous writer from England. I remember having to read one of his stories in seventh grade language arts class. It was called A Tale of Two Cities. He also visited York, PA and stayed at the hotel that is now an apartment building. It is said that he loved the steak he had as a meal there.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering all about Prince William so I looked at the part about The Royal Family and I looked at some pieces about Prince William. I found that Prince William love sports and his favorite are polo and swimming. I founder why he like those sport and dose he do them a lot in England. I also that Prince William had a black labrador. I did not know that and I thought that the dogs name was so cool. The dogs name is Widgeon. I would have not jested that name. I would have jested like Jack or Coco or something like that. I might even look at that sight agian to learn more stuff.

The clothes that they were there are like a picture in my head and I can see how they were them. I did not know that very little people were bowler hats today and I think that bowler hats look just like a fuzzy hat that they wear at the royal wedding today. This I think that is very cool. I also found out that "Anglo Saxons during the 7th century." I do not know what the word Anglo Saxons. I think it means that it is a kind of clothes that are now only wear at the royal weddings.
ReplyDeleteI learned that Queen Elizabeth II has five corgis - Monty, Willow, Holly, Emma and her grandma has had the most years being queen.Queen Elizabeth's grandson Prince William has a labrador called Widgeon.There laguge is a little bit differt than ours like underwhere is pants so if you say "Do you have some pants." you would be saying "Do you have some underwhere!"But it is a lot like ours!
ReplyDeleteThe topic I chose is "police". I learned that they have nicknames like 'bobbies' and 'Peelers'. Some have white and red check on there caps. The reason why there called bobbies after Robert Peel who set up first organised in 1829. Some police men ride in speedboats and in those boats are responsible for policeing 84 miles of the River Thames. Most of the police men that catch burgers in Metropolitan Police wear Dark Blue uniforms and white shirts. There (Metropolitan Police ) nicknames are the "boys in blue."
