What I Learned: I have learned alot through out this entire project such as foods, history, culture and some religous values. The most interesting fact I found was celtic group. After reading about them they sounded big, huge, scary and tough. While listing the facts on the foods not only did it sound good the crumpets taste amazing! I thought that fish and chips was just fish and potatoe chips but its actually french fries. The kings collage was really cool becuase of when it was founded 1441 that was hundres of years ago and it is still standing,
The stonehege was also very interesting because of how old, big, and heavy they are. They way 45 tons that almost as heavy as a killer whale! I never new that england's money was by pence. A pence is another name for penny. Instead of using bills they use coins. The capital of england is london and london has alot of historical events and facts. While reading about it I realized that England is a cool place i want to take a trip to london to see the historcial places, and also try the good looking food.
