    2. Ya i agree with Maranita. The website really said 20 countries are in RWC 2015. And there are 4 pools (Pool A, Pool B, Pool C, Pool D) which means there should be 5 countries per pool. If there were 12 countries I don't think it would be 4 pools. And as Maranita said, it is a bit too late. But thanks anyway!

  2. Great Maths activity, room 4... all are totally engaged counting colors, stars, stripes and other aspects on the flags. Good understanding of symbols and representations on the flag. Let us support the All Blacks, NZ pride and joy...... let us know the updates and pray that we will do well.
