North America: Canada










Do you know a flag that has a maple leaf on it? Do you know a place that is very popular? Well, if you don’t know the answer let me tell you. The answers to all these questions is Canada


In Canada they speak three languages. The three languages are Canadian, French and English. In 2012 the population of Canada was around 35 million. Now the population is 35.16 million. Canada is made up of 10 provinces and 3 territories. The most popular sport in Canada is ice- hockey. In Canada,  these are the major cities -- Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary. The General Governor in Canada is David Johnston. Calgary hosted the Winter Olympics in 1998. Vancouver  hosted it in 2010  and the 1976 Summer Olympics was hosted by Montreal. Important times for the Canadians to win and show their hard work into these competitions.



The name Canada comes from the word ‘Kanata’ which means ‘settlement’ or village of the language indigenous St Lawrence Iroquoians. In Canada the government is a democracy system government chosen by the whole population. The currency is Canadian dollars.
Do you know the what the largest waterfall is in Canada? Niagara waterfalls is one of Canada’s biggest tourist attraction since it was formed in the last Ice Age.  The spectacular view of the falls is on the Canadian side.  It is the one of the biggest falls that extends to Virginia, USA


Quebec city is  an old town which is discovered in the year 1608. Great to see the Frontenac castle buildings from the 18th and 19th century.  Canada’s longest river is the Mckenzie river in the North West. It is 2,635 miles or 4,241km long. Canada is a great place to be because you can have lots of fun with your family. The flag has a unique symbol, which is the maple leaf.

  1. Dear AJ,
    Great work! I liked how you said that Canada has three languages! But your font on the second paragraph is small which is odd. Also I would love if you could explain more about the maple leaf on the canadian flag. And your question "Do you know a place that is very popular?" is actually not a good question because there are heaps of places that are popular!
    But anyway your work was fantastic.

  3. Great report on Canada Aj! Although, there were some mistakes that I noticed. For example, the sentence where you said 'The answer is to all these questions is Canada'. I saw that there was no full stop at the end of the sentence. Oh, I also recommend putting different ideas into 1 paragraph. That way, the readers will know what you are talking about and you should explain more on 1 idea so people who do not know much about Canada can understand what Canada is and what it is like there. So try to make it like you are describing what Canada is all about, even though you may haven't been there before! Great work anyway!!
