Where In The World Is Latvia And Lithuania?

The Force were given a number of names of rugby-playing nations of the world. These were some of the nations that are recognised by the world governing body of Rugby Union, the International Rugby Board (IRB), as member unions but did not qualify for RWC 2011.

We divided them up amongst our team. I was given the nations listed below:
Latvia;
Lithuania.

This is what I found -


Latvia is in Europe and the capital City is Riga. The population in Latvia is 2,204,708
Ice hockey and soccer atre popular sports in Latvia.



Lithuania is a part Europe too. The capital city in Lithuania is Vilnius and the population of Lithuania is 3,535,547.
In Lithuania basketball and kick-boxing are popular sports.



I have decided to study Latvia for our Immersion task.

Different Auckland town centres have adopted Rugby teams from countries that qualified for the World Cup. I found out information about : The location in Auckland; Something special about this place; A 'potted' history of the place; If it has it's own symbol of some sort.(If we couldn't find a symbol we chose a picture that told more about the place).

We are using the nations of the 2011 Rugby World Cup as our inquiry path.

For this unit we are in one of four teams: Brumbies, Force, Rebels, Stormers. My team is Force. There will be a number of tasks for us to navigate to achieve our goal of an excellent result in this unit. There are a mixture of individual and team tasks to be completed. The main task that will show our learning in this unit will be a Hyperstudio presentation about one of the countries in the World Cup competition.

My favorite rugby team is the All Blacks because they have a talanted team and they play fea and they got a great coach. I think the All Blacks are going to win the world cup this year. My favorite player in the All Blacks is Sonny Bill Williams.
