Celebrations

Showtime in Margaret River!

Last weekend I saw a couple of our kids enjoying the show…..

and I was amazed to see Lucy had won a prize for her incredible felt work!

 

This is a great introduction to our next inquiry as the Show is a celebration of farm life and farm products as well as celebrating our community in Margaret River!  🙂  You can also have a look at the School Blog here to see the post about the show.  You might recognise some people….

CELEBRATING ACHIEVEMENTS AND PEOPLE

In Australia we celebrate special people for their values and for their big achievements with the Australian of the Year Awards.  Read about them on this website. http://www.australianoftheyear.org.au/ 

Sometimes we celebrate things that are not big wins or a huge success.  They are still special because of the WAY those people acted and the special values they lived up to. Watch this video clip of Eric the Eel.  Answer this question: Why did everybody celebrate and cheer this achievement when it was so slow for an Olympic swimming event? What was it about Eric and the way he acted that made people cheer and celebrate?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zjCc_VyxM4
