Now that we have down most of our research we have started putting it all into a book that we will write and illustrate. Most of us are enjoying it though we only it yesterday so the worst is yet to come.
All our books need to have a: front page, contents page, index, glossary, summary, bibiligraphy, headings, sub headings, numbered pages, pictures, diagrams, maps, different prints, tables, fact files, blurb.
And trying to put all of this into 1 book plus our info i think we are gonna struggle.
In the Castle fields rich task we have found lots of information we would like to tell you.African people can send messages to village to village by the use of drums.The the key to understand the drum is the African language itself .Like if all three tones are low it means puddle or marsh,and if it`s low -low -high it means promise but if you change it to low-high-high it becomes poison.
We also found out that the two biggest religious groups in Africa are Christianity and Islam.Many people in Africa mix lots of other religions to Christianity and Islam to soot themselves. In the seventh century Islams came from Aribia and came to Africa.Christianity also came from another country but this religion came in the first century AD.
POPULATION OF AFRICA IN 1998 WAS: 748 . 9 million. People predict that by 2025 the population will be 1.3 billion.
Primary 7 thank all you people who have given us information for our African rich task 
Our group is called Zambia and it is hard to find info for Zambia.We have found out that the capital of Zambia is Lusaka….. it has a population of 11.2 million offical language is English and bantu.
We would appreciate any information anyone could give us.
We are researching culuture in Africa for our rich task topic. We are specifically looking at sports, entertainment, fashion, houses and hotels and food.
We have been working pretty well together – as long as we are all focused!
If you have any information about these topics please tell us. We are just about to look at South Parks link to dancing that they did!
Our group has chosen Malawi to research for our African Rich Task. We want to find out what materials they use for clothing, what is their favourite food and what festivals do they have.
So far our best writer is David Y, our best timekeeper has been David F, reporter has been Kieran and chairperson has been Robyn.
If anyone has any information which could help us we would love to hear from you.
About 2 days ago we took control over our richtask and some of us are finding it a bit hard : trying to let go of taking control and letting everyones ideas be heard.
In our groups we are all doing something different like:Culture of countries, what is culture, Malawi, madagaster, Zambwai and Egypt. If anyone has any info on any of these subjects please get in touch.
Today we are doing notes and researching customs in Africa. Its hard to find out info so if anyone knows of anything which would help us please let us know.
We are doing our rich task on Africa. We began on Monday by doing a pre-assessment of what we think we need to work on – this included areas like ICT, language, creativity, independance, group work. The things we said we needed to work on were the same as our teacher would have said about us!
In the afternoon we got into groups and did some brainstorming on mindmaps about what we know and want to know.
Today we started looking at note taking for the non-fiction work we are going to do and did some highlighting and then note-taking in groups of general information on Africa and sports. We worked together a lot better today!
