Australia Day

This week we will be celebrating Australia Day! Woohoo!!! In Australia, January 26th is a very special day that celebrates the arrival of some of the first British ships to the island. February 7th is known as New Zealand day, so we will combine the both of them in a day-long celebration next week!!!!



We are excited to eat some Australian food, play some traditional games, sing "Waltzing Matilda", as well as share what we have been researching about Australia with the rest of our classmates!



Check out the link to the song to practice the lyrics at home. This is the video version of Waltzing Matilda

The Rainbow Serpent

The aborigines in Australia had many different stories and traditions. One of the most important stories was about how all things were created and made. This was the story of the Rainbow Serpent. The Rainbow Serpent was a snake who formed all of the landscapes of Australia. He also turned some of the people into animals or plants, which means that the plants and animals were now "brothers" with the people.

Here is a video about the story.
